Thedonald Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Is anyone aware of any mud gaurd that will fit 2007 VFR?? I’ve seen some carbon fiber ones that look horrible.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreginDenver Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 You mean a rear-tire "hugger"? I've got one on my rainy-weather bike ('93 Suzuki GSF400) and it really helps keep things tidy. I usually don't ride the VFRs in the rain or on wet road days so I haven't looked around to see what's available for the 5th Gen. I'd bet that the single sided swing arm complicates the issue of making a rear tire hugger for the VFR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted December 29, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted December 29, 2017 Try Harris Performance. They make an integrated hugger/chainguard for 5th and 6th gens. I bookmarked a manufacturer in Australia - Geelong Carbon Craft that makes (made?) them from carbon fiber as well. The link is no longer active and I'm not turning them up on a search - so no telling if they're still in business. https://www.harris-performance.com/product-category/harris-bodywork/rear-huggers-harris-bodywork/honda-rear-huggers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedonald Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 That’s what I meant, with the single swing arm the one that I saw was part of the chain gaurd- looks awe full. Was just wondering if any others might fit that someone is aware of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer ZCD76 Posted January 2, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted January 2, 2018 Dash looks good. What color are the LCD displays? I was considering sending them mine and having the LCDs done in their blue-green (with the tach in white) but without a photo to see how that color actually looks, I don't know what to think.

Member Contributer Woodie Posted January 3, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted January 3, 2018 I have an NWS rear Hugger on my 2002. Being a UK biker it's almost essential to keep the road crud off the rear suspension. It's sort of a grey Carbon Fibre look, don't know where it comes from as it came with the bike.

It came from NWS, no doubt! I have several of their motorcycle stands, but I think the company is long gone now.

But no idea where they retail from. I must admit it looks better than any if the other offerings I have seen Skidmarx/pyramid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer TriumphTraitor Posted January 22, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hey, I picked up one from REDFOX a few weeks ago. After lots of research it seemed like one of the better looking huggers and didn't require drilling into the swing arm. Though when I went to fit it, the fit was absolutely horrendous. It wouldn't sit correctly no matter how I adjusted it. Didn't have consistent gap around the tire and sat crooked. Ended up realizing that the ABS material had severely warped. After about 2 hours today using a heat gun, re-drilling holes in the plastic and eventually drilling and tapping the swing arm I got it fitting perfectly. It is a real nice looking part, but be weary as the fit may not be as nice as it should be without some mcgivering. If interested I can take some pictures and post. let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted January 22, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted January 22, 2018 The Harris carbon fibre one is my favourite. It is also the only one I could find that allowed the removal of the OEM plastic chainguard. Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
