Rear tire shield and keeping clean
« on: October 08, 2014, 08:18:30 AM »
When looking for my bike saw an 09 that had a shield that attacked to the frame between the engine and rear tire. Anyone know where I can get one. The owner said he did it to keep dirt down. Does it work. Did a search nothing

Someone also makes/sells an over-sized rear fender, but I can't remember where I saw it. :-\

I like the looks of the Hugger.
Will probably get one soon.

Ride safe, Ted

So Conrad, what brand is yours?  I'm close to pulling the trigger on a hugger.

I will let Conrad confirm, but it looks like the same one I have and I got mine from ProjektD

I didn't realize the Projekt D hung down in the front of the tire like that.  Interesting.

Actually, this is not a Projektd hugger. It's a Skidmarx brand. We had a group buy on these a while back (pre forum 'crash') and the lot of them where imported by David Cork for us.

Here's some info on the second group buy from David.

Skidmarx came out with it first and then ProjektD started marketing an identical looking hugger. My personal feeling is that PD are either reselling it or have produced knock-offs.

You'll have to give David Cork a call and ask him what his current price is. He's quite pleasant to talk to over the phone plus he has a great accent!
