I've always wanted a hugger without the chain guard molded onto it. There was one by a company called ProjectD but they stopped making them. Any idea why all the huggers for the 14 have the chain gaurd? AFAIK looks like the chain guard mounts could work on the left and the brake line bracket could work on the right. The hugger could fit between the chain and the wheel.

I have half a mind to get some clay on the back wheel and make a mold for a fiberglass ZX-14 hugger without chain gaurd. I'm sure it would be a hundred hours of work by the time it was made to fit perfectly but if I knew I could sell them, I would make huggers to order.

The problem for production is that the 14r prolly has a different swing arm than the old 14. Anyone have any idea if huggers fit between the gens?

I got the Pyramid Plastics one in black with the chainguard. Didn't like the close fitting to the tire. Complained to company in UK, they refunded my purchase and let me keep it.

GRN 14 send me a pic of it for the 2012 14r, If it has more clearance than mine I will take it....send a pic and a price soonest...I want it in shiny black if you have it.......is the plastic rather strong..mine is somewhat thin and seems to flex a bit easily...want a stronger unit for no troubles....

The Besten my understanding does not come with right side mounting hardware from factory, so you have to fabricate one on your own...not a good idea..should be complete with all bolts and the right side matching bracket for a bolt on fit.
