The VJ23 RGV250 is the only RGV250 model which does not have a rear hugger as standard and as a result, all the road filth and rain tends to collect around the rear shock and under side of the seat cowling. TYGA Performance have developed this carbon hugger as a solution to the dirt issue while making the swing arm/rear wheel part of the bike more attractive. Designed to fit onto the contour of the VJ23 swing arm’s fabrication and lock into position by a rub underneath, the TYGA hugger incorporates the rear chain guard too, using the chain guard’s mounting holes on the left to hold it securely in place. On the right side, it is held on by a cable tie through the rear brake line guide and at the front by an M4 bolt which is requires drilling and tapping of the swing arm by the customer to install this product.
IMPORTANT, note that due to the VJ23 never having the option for a rear hugger, there is no position provided on the swing arm to mount the hugger at the front and it is necessary to drill and tap an M4 hole in the swing arm and use a cable tie to provide a good level of support for the hugger. See photos 7 and 8 for details on what is required to install this product.
