Johan
Not sure about that one, but if the SB6R uses the same rear swingarm as the SB8R, I have a used SB8R hugger hanging on my garage wall.

I can confirm its NOT DB2/3/4 or Vdue.........Does look very similar to YB11 but the chain guard side is cut away too much...line on the right is correct...as is the cut out at the front/recess for a bike with a centrally/vertically mounted YB series......So I'd say its an earlier YB Hugger

I'd go for YB9....these have a diagonal section of Carbon fibre chainguard built into the hugger like this...with parallel sides...and evidently the central rear shock needing the recess in the hugger....

Rudolf of Bimota-parts.de has one listed for a 6R...not exactly cheap at 280 Euros...but his site says he has one

At least the picture will show you what you're looking for

The 6R swingarm is a bit different to the 6 - it has more bracing on the shock side



So I'd say your hugger isn't from a SB6 ... it hasn't got the small cut out on the shock side ... YB11 would be my guess.

SB6 hugger - I was polishing it

looks like a carbon version of my yb7 with the two small mounting lugs. what is the distance across the hugger between the mounting holes?

Looks like it would fit a YB8. Might be interested, if Atomibart doesn't take it off you.

It's not the same as a YB8 hugger, but I guess anything can be made to fit with enough work.
