Hello, Just ordered a new fireblade in HRC colours with ABS. Currently running a GSXR750 and after a test of a 'blade yesterday ordered one straight away (especially with the tempting 0% offer at the moment). Can't wait to take delivery in two weeks. Anyone know if I can fit a rear hugger to the ABS version? Honda and a few other sites suggest not but I can't believe this would be true. Looking forward to getting some tips from the forum. Cheers
Congrats on the new HRC mate, sorry i cant help out with the rear hugger however i believe there has already been a thread on the same issue and they managed to fit the hugger
Another '11 HRC!! Thought I was going to be the only one! Enjoy it mate. The hugger does fit, a few on here have done it no problems.
Welcome ! It does indeed fit and you can get it to sit flush, I remember saying I was going to take some pics of the spacers I used from the Honda parts catalogue to get it to sit straight. The only thing you need to be careful about is taking a passenger as the clearance between the ABS control box under the seat and the hugger will be pushed to its limits with a passenger + a pot hole. Resulting in either a broken hugger or maybe worse. Without a passenger though I think/guess you'd be fine. That's what I've settle on with mine anyway
Seems the hugger fits fine, just reduces clearance if you have a pillion or fly over bridges, suspension hits the reduced clearance from the lower undertray. Pretty good for my 1st evening. I'm jealous!! Enjoy.
Cool - I don't do pillion riders. Or more to the point I don't think my mates will risk it... ;-). Therefore I should be just fine with the hugger!
