Hugger

[keys]

I purchase a hugger from ebay. While installing it I noticed that it doesn't bolt up like the chain guard. The hugger has a predrilled hole on the right side, there's no hole in the swing arm on that side. don't tell me I got to drill into my swing arm!

Yep, have to drill it if you want to use it.

Or use plastic zip ties to hold it on like mine.

structural integrity compromise ?

Reason I never bought one for either of my busa's.
Had one on the old GSXR 600 but it didn't require drilling or nothing.

i drilled mine, no problemo
i do not belive it will weaken the swing arm.

It was really cheap. I think I paid 59.00 plus shipping. It's painted and new. I guess I"ll start drilling. Thanks guys!

Not sure of the brand. will have to check on that.

It is molded to fit on upper peice of the swingarm

Almost under my seat on right side. On left side it has holes drilled same spot factory chain gaurd was mounted.

click "undertails" - "Suzuki" - "Hayabusa" it is the first hugger pictured...4th item down

You ask, "Am I missing something?" --> hummmm maybe something upstairs... Just kidding!

I understand your concern, unfortunately you should have consulted the board prior to buying, someone could have told you that drilling would be required.

I didn't like the idea of drilling the swing arm, so I went with the Puig hugger, no drilling required.
