questions about rear hugger, and belly pan

[adpeacock]

hey everyone, does anyone know if their is a product to act as a chain guard when you take off the rear hugger or do should I just hack up the stock crap rear hugger? 
Question 2, what functioning piece does the belly pan perform besides making the bike look badass? 
thanks for the help I think I am about to start cranking away on the bike.

As far as the belly pan goes, some may say there is some benficial aerodynamics nu tmy opinion is that it covers the exhaust and looks cool.

I removed my rear hugger and just went without a chain guard.

Belly pan that's just a small cowl is purely for decoration. There are oil-catching full length ones though, made to... catch oil in the event of a pretty big engine failure.

That is a great rear hugger, but I was looking to just protect the chain from dirt, and leave the rear tire uncovered.  But if I am going to go with a rear hugger that is the oneI will go with.
