Carbon Fibre Rear Hugger

Post by ridgeskimmer »

Does anyone know of anybody who makes or can make a carbon rear hugger for an '89 750 Sport?.....maybe a front one too?
Thanks

do you want them for the weight or he looks?

Airtech had CF parts for the Paso once (or could make them). The front fender of Paso & Sport is the same. The front fender isn`t listed but it`s in the top picture.

If it`s for the looks it would not be that difficult to cover the front fender with a layer of cf.

I have never seen any alternative rear hugger. The Sport was such an odd Duck, and such a short production run, that it wouldn't be worth anyones time to to make one. The SS series later is different, and won't fit, and the previous series, the F1, is the same in some ways and might fit, but not many of those made either. Let us know if you find one.

Cheers, Phil

I haven't bought anything from Diopa myself but a friend bought a replacement carbon front mudguard for his 900 Superlight from them a couple of years ago and was pleased with the result.
