Rear hugger installation

["Anderson, Neil G" <AndersNG@xxxxxx>]

I see people have been struggling with the infamous hugger again...I fitted
one of these a few weeks ago, tried sliding it in above the wheel etc with
no success and sat back after a few minutes to scratch my head and try
lateral thinking.  Finally I worked it out...

You can fit the hugger without drilling out the plastic rivets and without
removing the brake caliper.  Start by taking off the standard chainguard, so
the brake line is free.  Then hold the hugger on the left of the bike,
underneath the pillion footpeg.  Hold the brake line up, being careful not
to stretch or kink it.  Pass the hugger up between the passenger footpeg and
the swing arm, under the brake line and it slips into place neatly.

Triumph; if you're listening, how about updating your instructions to say
something more useful than "offer up the hugger"?

Hope this helps someone out there, wrestling with a hugger in a cold garage!

Neil
