Do the longer XBs have a longer rear fender, and if so, will a rear fender from a long bike (Long, Uly, TT) fit on a short bike (like my CityX). Just looking for alternatives to get more rear tire coverage. Thanks. --Sean |

The vestigial 04 hugger simply protects the lower shock mount and collects gravel. New models have a different hugger which fits above the swingarm but the difference in tyre coverage is minimal. |

The hugger from the XB12X/XB12SS will NOT fit any of the pre-2006 model XB's as mounting points are completely different. It will however fit the 2006 on XB9SX and XBS models and replace the very small original hugger. |

Thanks Trojan, that is what I was asking. I have a 2006 CityX and want a little more debris/water protection than the stock rear hugger (fender, mudguard, etc.) gives and wanted to know if a Uly hugger will fit the short wheelbase swingarm. --Sean |
