I was cleaning bike today as I don't have a hugger yet and can't for the life of me see where it would bolt to..can someone send a picture.. sorry if I'm blind and thick
Depending on what type you buy...primarily it's 2 small bolts at the back of the swingarm next to the rear shocky in a recess. Then if it has a chain guard or not the bolts for the figment of that too. HTH.
The left hand fixing on the side/front of the hugger. Two more on the opposite side below the chain guard.---- ( I'll try and find a pic of the opposite side )
here's a pretty clear photo I took when the metal support for my Skidmarx hugger failed. two 6mm hex bolts (iirc). you need them long enough to fully engage into the swingarm - the OEM 'filler' bolts are far too short. but if the are too long, the bottom end of the bolt will 'bang up against' the head of the transverse bolt securing the shock, so it may take a bit of adjustment ( cutting and filing ) to get to the optimum length. also that bolt hole tends to grime up, from its open bottom down by said shock bolt, so it can be useful to clean it with a tap, or a bolt and lots of oil, before doing the final installation. oh, and you need hand sizes like a six year old girl to manipulate the little buggers while holding the hugger in position, etc. fury... ( but you dare not cross-thread the thing! )
p.s. I suggest removing the rear wheel to give yourself working room... been there; done that...
Andy, This is part of the kit I was telling you about.
