Came across this carbon fiber hugger. Not sure how the quality is though. Everything looks good in pictures but I have been disappointed in buying carbon fiber online in the past.

Will it fit the R3? This is for the R25.

Yes the R25 and R3 are identical with the exception of Piston/Bore size

 

[YamahaR3]

Gotcha. Oh, that would open up the rather large can of worms of aftermarket accessories that would fit, huh?

That's what I love about them for how much easier it makes things on our end and you can bet Yamaha loves it too for what it does for them on their end.

The one at layz-motor is 600.000,00 IDR.
Per Google, 600.000,00 IDR = $45.05 USD.
Regardless of what the finish loox like, that's a SMOKIN' deal for a carbon fiber hugger. In a "worst case scenario", you could paint it matte black to blend in with the swingarm, and still come out smelling like roses.

That is a smoking deal. Seems a bit good to be true. Wonder how much is shipping.

Sent a message to ask about shipping to Nebraska.
Just got a message back. I asked about the rear tire hugger/swing arm cover. Got the following reply

Me: Do you ship to the US how much for rear tire hugger/swing arm cover
Them: Yes we ship to USA do you mean the swing arm cover or carbon rear tire? Those have the same price US$75. Shipping, due to size of box is $110. Total US$185

So there ya go. Seems expensive to me, but, I don't know either. In the picture it looks like the hugger is attached to swing arm cover.

It's a tire hugger/ chain guard. That's weird, he says $75 and Google says $45...? And, per the webbernet, the IDR is depreciating daily. It only cost me @$85 to ship my Ohlins shock from KD Project Racing in Thailand. And it came in a box big enough for the actual swingarm to fit in.

 

[Ravaloft]

Maybe he was a bit "generous" with his conversion. As much as I'd love a rear hugger there's other things I need more. Specifically, new levers, and bar ends.

Seems like an awfully high price for shipping.

I paid roughly $300 for a 100% CF hugger and chain guard for comparison.
