Author Message   Americanmadexb Posted on Tuesday, January 08, 2008 - 05:42 pm:        i got a xbSs and im looking to find rear carbon fiber hugger that is shorter the stock. anyone know where i can get one?? Trojen has thiis one... http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/prods/189.html but im not sure if its stock length.. I may just cut down my stock one. They are just too long on the Ss and look kinda funny. Anyone got a stock hugger for an Ss laying around for cheap(free) let me know!   Jaimec Posted on Tuesday, January 08, 2008 - 06:21 pm:        That one is exactly like stock, only made of carbon fibre (I have it on my Ss). If you want shorter than stock, then you want this item: http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/prods/184.html   Americanmadexb Posted on Tuesday, January 08, 2008 - 08:36 pm:        ahh, wonder how i missed that one.. hard to tell from the picture, but from the looks of the belt gaurd, thats what im looking for.. thanks!.. btw, do you have a pic of your CF fender?   Jaimec Posted on Tuesday, January 08, 2008 - 10:24 pm:        As a matter of fact, I do. This was taken before I replaced the plastic sprocket cover with the American Sport Bike Carbon Fiber one:   147db Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2008 - 03:42 am:        And here are my BRAND NEW carbon fiber parts from Lorandiresine ( http://www.lorandiresine.it/ ): A preview for BWB only, not on any website yet!   Americanmadexb Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2008 - 04:33 am:        147, thats about how short i want mine... they are hard to find for an Ss though. Hopefully the Ilmberger from Trojan is simaliar. thanks for the pics guys (Message edited by americanmadexb on January 09, 2008)   147db Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2008 - 06:49 am:        Ian, my current Buell is an STT and mount the same swingarm as the Ss and Uly... But the Lorandiresine CF is "designed and manufactured" in Italy, maybe this is in conflict with your nickname...!   Trojan Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2008 - 06:55 am:        You can fit the hugger from a 2006 - XB12S/XB12R etc to the XB12SS, and this is a much shorter item than the stock XB12SS/XB12X item. http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/prods/42.html It does not have a one piece hugger/belt guard and needs the separate belt guard to complete it if required. This conversion will not work the other way round. i.e. you cannot fit the XB12SS hugger to the shorter wheelbase XB12S/XB12R because the hugger has a large indentation that will contact the tyre on these models.   147db Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2008 - 07:02 am:        S/R rear fender on a long swingarm looks so ugly... and leave the lower shock mount exposed to the dirt.   Americanmadexb Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2008 - 11:21 am:        But the Lorandiresine CF is "designed and manufactured" in Italy, maybe this is in conflict with your nickname...! ha ha. no i like it it looks good. im going to have to check them out. Trojan, i didnt think the regular s parts would fit because of the longer swingarm. i guess i have more options then.. i do like the option of having just the hugger without the belt gaurd!!
