There isn't a hugger that's made for these bikes, if you have a look under it's tail you'll see part of the undertray comes down a bit, that's you lot I'm affraid.

I recognise the bike, it's missing the P clips that hold the front brake hoses, apart from that it looked to be pretty much together. So - lube the chain, check the oil and brake fluid ... put a bit of petrol in there and you're good

You can try to get it to fit but I think you'll need to cut the existing under tray and the swing arms are subtlety different so you end up with a lot of work for not much gain.
If you've got a nice shock you could put a sock on it but then again if you keep it clean it should be fine.
