848 Carbon Fibre Swingarm With Rear Hugger Compatability

  1. hi all

    i've just bought a carbon rear hugger off evil and have been thinking about putting a carbon swingarm cover on as well. the swing arm has a nasty, but small scratch on it so thought about putting the cover on.
    the problem is that most of the photos i've seen on the internet with both a hugger and swingarm cover on don't look very tidy. in other words the hugger base lifts off the swingarm cover and doesn't look the business. i haven't actually seen one in the flesh though.
    so could anyone who has these 2 mods done tell us what they think about it, please???
    the scratch is small enough for one of them ducati corse shield gel stickers to cover it. thats another option but i've always thought that stickers are nearly always put on bikes to cover marks or scratches up... ( but i'm just an all round pessimist )! :Wtf:

    hard to see in the photo but it's the scuff in the middle on the crease.

    thanx, ian
     
  2. On a separate note, is your belly pan rubbing? It looks very close to the swing arm.

  3. might well be. tks for pointing that out. i'll check up on that. just got back from a blast out and noticed that the new carbon heel guards i bought are rubbing up against the carbon heat shield. nowt a couple of washers behind the guard won't sort out.
     
  4. How did you scratch that?
     
  5. Just from the heel guard touching the heat shield. Nowt much to sort out.
