Hi Sean , I’m interested in the new hugger for the FTR. I live in Australia, so if it’s still available, I’ll arrange freight collect from if you can do $100? Let me know. Cheers, Stu.
Hey Stuart, That‘s fine if you want to arrange freight collect. I’m not sure how that works on my end.
Send me an email
We could do PayPal if that’s easy.

Thanks Sean, email sent. Cheers Stu
because its not carbon, its hydrodipped.
painting it a carbon look wont look any better than it currently does. I would just paint it black, red would be overkill

I will paint in the dark carbon color first, as well as my remaining parts of the FTR. But if I don't like it, the red color comes from the frame of the motorcycle. if I don't like everything, I'll paint it in a silky smooth finish like the one on the motorcycle. So I'll start painting darker with carbon first .. I'm a painter for a very long time 😀

Thought the hugger was a done deal almost? Apologies! Any new posts on this forum are generally welcome hijack or not but apologies once again!
@Keles
You must be good if you can do your own carbon painting effect? These guys will do it any color or finish you want. But you'll probably have somewhere more local to yourself? Looking forward to seeing your end result!
@Fuse5
That was just during the rear end rebuild. Cable ties as with the reflectors they are long gone. I usually use bicycle inner tube to protect the frame when bolting or attaching anything to it. There is now a La Rosa swing arm bag that side of the swing arm. You can see the underside of the frame where all the cabling and pipes have been run for the Shotgun Shock Air Ride System where the frame has been protected with aircraft propeller leading edge tape, same for the braided hydraulic clutch pipework.

Thank you. None whatsoever hence my caution with the FTR. Nevertheless the H-D has a camlock system whereupon as the weight hits the stand the bike rolls forward about an inch into the lock. Butt puckering and unnerving to say the least until you eventually become used to it. Weight has to come completely off before it will raise.
With the FTR I always leave it in gear and turn the bars all the way to the left. I have had no issues but it is still a little unsettling how high she sits on the stand. The stand can also be retracted way too easily IMHO.
Hydro dip and painted carbon will Never look like a real carbon weave.
If you do all hydro dip on the bike then it all blends. But if you have a real carbon weave and then a fake carbon on the same bike you can clearly see the difference. It just doesn’t work
