Ugly 2010 xb rear hugger and upper belt guard

[Shaun]

Im getting a 2010 xb12ss and i hate the look of the massive integrated rear hugger and uppper belt guard, so was wondering if any of the smaller earlier models of belt guards or rear huggers fit the 2010 bikes.
Also, i noticed that the new xb12scg comes standard with the smaller hugger, so maybe i could just swap them over; i just dont know if the scg and ss swingarms are the same for the hugger and belt guard mounting holes.
If anyone knows about this any info would be appreciated.

It's part of the Longs; Ss and older STT. The shorter swingarm S has different guards/mounts.

So the scg has the shorter swingarm and different mounts then?

Can that rear mudguard fit on the firebolt with aome modifications? I would be willing to purchase.

Nope, mounts are different, but you could simply remove the stock one and use a Dremel to shape and shorten it to your liking.

I took off all the belt guards on my 2010 Ss and it looks soooo sweet but I'd still like to put something to protect my shock. Haven't ridden yet since (winter mod).

My 2010 XB12ss is pretty much still how I bought it, but I like the look of the upper guard, I think that by doing the tail chop it will make the swing arm and rear tire more pronounced. The length and angle will look bad ass once it stands out.

Not to mention that I like the functionality of it.

i agree it's all ugly on the ss. i took all of it off and went with this.

ordered it from http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/

painted it all black. as soon as i get my bike back from the incompetent hd dealer i'll put it on my bike. but that's another story...........
