      the only thing close to that I have ever seen was the carbon fiber hugger Spedee had on his bike...and to my knowledge, it was the only one the manufacturer had ever made....

              you can modify a post98 or bandit 600 hugger to fit your pre. i've got a pre98 with a bandit 600 rear hugger.

                I think the problem is that it would be a $150 chain guard. That's why no manufacturers want to make them because honestly, the market just isn't there. From their side, it's like carbon fiber radio buttons in a car. Yeah it's cool, but it's not going to snag you more buyers and it's not gonna be a popular upgrade.

                Plus a lot of people just throw their chain guard in the trash.

                  try: http://www.geelongcarboncraft.com.au/

                  If they don't have one, and you seed them a basis for matching (i.e. - a good chain guard to base their design from), they can probably build one, provided you can get a small group-purchase going (6 units if I recall right).

                  Cheers

                          Here is a thought..have you ever considered trying to make your own carbon fiber pieces? I know kids do it at the college I went to..very similar to fiberglassing...just cooler and takes more patients ...oh and i forgot to mention a little more expensive
