Does anyone know if a ZX12R Hugger rear fender will fit and 06 ZX14? Hot bodies has one to fit a ZX12R but not the 14.

Just get one for the 14. I have one made by Powerbronze. Looks great, well made, bolted right up to the tabs already in place on the bike.

They have totally different swingarms, so no. You can get one off fleabay in carbon fiber for less than $150.

P.S. I'm just a few miles south of Mitchell. What's the name of the old Rt. 66 cafe there?

I like the looks of huggers, and would like to get a CF for my '14. I would guess they improve the aerodynamics of the rear wheel, but do they actually improve anything really?? (Not that looking Kewl isn't a good enough reason LOL)

The do a good job of keeping road munge of the shock. If you have 11 or 12 hundred smackers in an Ohlins TTX, a buck-and-a-half don't seem like much to protect it. And they look cool.

Amazing this post came up, I'm in the market for a rear hugger(black) for my 14. I had one for my zzr600. Can't beat the looks plus it protects rear suspension from road debris.

go to page 2 also.

I haven't bought anything from these people. Looks like they a couple different grades of carbon available. You can call them and talk carbon with them. The powerbronze stuff is good quality also.

I bough a CF rear hugger from another company oher than "Bestem" Because I didn't the Bestem piece was that good.

Turns out the one I received was a "Bestem" :rolleyes

It looks pretty good but it comes with no mounting instructions and you have to jerry rig a bracket for the brake side of the swingarm.

I'd give it a 6/10.

Also, should you get one, I'd make sure to use nylock nuts and some rubber washers and make sure they stay tight.

The nuts worked loose on my other hugger and it ended up shredded after it worked loose and got eaten by my chain :rolleyes
