Instructions (continued)

The lower end of the hugger bracket will be held onto the swingarm by the two bolts which are currently holding the brake hose in place. Undo each of these bolts and set them in a safe place. You will need them again shortly.

You are now ready to start fixing the hugger to the bike. Manoeuvre it into position over the wheel. It will probably be easier if you work from the left side of the bike (from the rider's point of view) and bring the hugger over the chain, mainly because the biggest part of the hugger will remain on this side, but also because you will have more clearance after removing the footrest hanger. Check that the lower part of the metal bracket goes below the brake hose.

When you are happy with the position you can start putting the bolts in place. Do not tighten any of the bolts until they are all in place.

Reuse the original bolts to hold the brake hose clips and the hugger bracket to the swingarm, making sure the hose runs along the top of the bracket as shown in the picture. I have braided hoses fitted in the picture and the clips have been changed because of this. If you still have the bike's original brake hoses your clips will be bigger, but they will still fit over the bracket.

Put the remaining metal sleeves through the rubber grommets on the chain guard side of the hugger and bolt these to the lugs which held the original chain guard. The lugs are threaded so you should not need any nuts to hold these bolts in place.
