Holey Hugger!
Hello!
I have just sold my older L reg ZXR400 & bought a 2003 model, it's fabulous, but I can't understand why my new bike has got 2 big holes in the hugger. They appear to render the hugger useless & let all the wet & crap through onto my undertray/suspension etc. Can anyone explain why they did this? Is there a reason? Think I'll just buy a replacement one without the holes, unless anyone knows of any good reason not to?!

teh holes are for weight reduction...
honestly i don have teh foggiest...
but...
sounds like a good excuse to fit a carbon fiber one?
is anybody making carbon fiber ZXR parts? if not, and if there is enough interest, (say for 20 huggers?) i could make em . . .

Not all of the ZXR's have holes in the hugger tho, mine never did.

i think the holes in the hugger were for when you are off roading so the mud doesn't clog up under the hugger.
Don't forget people there is more to the zxr400 than this forum... check out www.zxrworld.co.uk also.

I've still not got a new hugger - none on the bike jumble at BMF and no one who was there made after market ones for the 400, bought some racer tape and have stuck it over the holes but I want a new one
Has anyone got one for sale or know where I can get one please?
