Been poking around the 'net but haven't found anything yet. Someone has to make a hugger for '02+ bikes?

You had one, it probably blew off while you were racing the Corolla.

Re: Is there a hugger for '02 RC51?
Its easy and cheap to put a OEM 954 hugger on a 02+ RC. I have one here Ill sell you cheap if yo want it. I think it involves drilling 1 hole in the swing arm.

The Pyramid and Magical Racing huggers were some of the nicer ones I've seen.

Anyone have a link/vendor?

Does drilling a hole in the swing-arm compromise it's strength?

You shouldn't need to drill holes in your swingarm if you buy a quality product.

Re: Is there a hugger for '02 RC51?
So the Magical Racing requires no drilling?

Speaking of drilling, are there any no-cut frame sliders available?

The Pyramid didn't require any drilling.

No cut frame sliders? Sure just get a set of front mount radiators and reroute all the plumbing and the 929/954 sliders bolt right up

Greg @ KYA Racing has some nice front mount rad kits that I was thinking of picking up. I believe they're like $800 or so and he also sells the no cut slider mounts which are pretty nice. That's the only way to get no cut sliders on the RC that I've heard of.

For the 01 owners, it makes sense to just mount/weld the wings on since you have to weld the spool mounts anyway. It's easier to get the bike on the stand w/ the wings and as discussed in the below threads, race teams use them for easier access during quick tire changes. For non '01 owners of street RCs, it's just bling.

Greg uses the site primarily for people to get his contact info. If you frequent the RC boards, he's not hard to find and his products are discussed in detail if you search. He's not trying to be the next Dan Kyle, he's just trying to make his products available and support his racing addiction.

Which is fine but spend about 1/2 an hour and make it a bit better As it is I would probably avoid his products not knowing anything about him. My reasoning being that his lack of follow through on his website being an indication of his quality of work

Well, I posted that on the 20th after paying for it on the 19th. I was told 7-10 days for the order to arrive at my door.

The part STILL is not here.

Here's the correspondance with superbikesupply:

Brad,
I’m hoping to get the parts by this weekend. Do you have a tracking number for the
damper mount and the hugger?
Thanks,
