Are there any huggers for the K11?

If I make a hugger, how would I mount it
Use the brake calliper mounting?
Drill and tap
- holes into the swing arm (side and rear facing)
- holes in the final drive lower brace mounting
Large clips around the swing arm?
Weld/Braze alluminium mounting brackets to the swing arm?

Any ideas or advice welcome.

Maybe a Christian side hug?

Used mostly when a fender eliminator is installed.

I just removed the back half of the fender and used a bent piece of alumimum to hold the license plate.

has worked well so far

When I saw this, I momentarily forgot that you have a sidecar attached to it- I briefly thought you had gone over to the dark side (car tire on a two wheel motorcycle) Shocked

Very good.... funny too, lol. A hugger is a neat fitting mudguard that sort of hugs the wheel.

The funny thing is, I just put a stcker "Join the Dark Side" on the sidecar windshield. Since some of the people I work with seem to think of sidecars as the dark side.

Pirate's Lair sells one for the 1998-2005 K1200RS. Perhaps it could be modded to fit your K, the final drive on that bike is very similar to yours if I remember correctly.
