After a few minutes of fiddling and head-scratching I managed to fit the
Triumph standard hugger without no problems.  Take off the old chain guard,
hold up the brake line and slide the hugger up underneath the loop of brake
line, behind the left-side pillion foot rest and over the top of the rear
tyre.  No need to remove the rear caliper, takes less than a minute once
you've worked out how to do it!
