| rear hugger?
1. If you buy carbon fibre, get the GOOD stuff (ask around for recommendations, but Art and QBCarbon are two of the best) Those two companies are in England and do tons of F1 work as far as I know. Art's stuff is beautifully finished and looks glossy and nice (kinda like Bimota stock CF) but QB stuff looks more like it came off a "works" machine (not so highly glossed) but still very high quality.
2. When you install a hugger you can run into problems with tire sizes, some will rub the hugger and some will not. Also, if you change your rear or front sprocket you can get tire rubbing on the hugger. There is a certain kind that has a big piece going down almost to the ground (can't remember the brand) but it seems to me that will stop air getting to the rear shock. Shocks can overheat and start to lose damping if they don't have airflow over them. This would be in extreme conditions though so probably not a problem for you unless you ride a twin (exhaust pipe for rear cylinder close to rear shock).
