I know there were previous posts on the subject of fitting of huggers. Much of this discussed the fitting or not fitting of a particular brand of hugger. Having spent two days last weekend on wet and muddy roads I decided enough was enough. I also thought that any problems with fitting (or non fitting) would now be resolved so I ordered one

The first point is that I was supplied with a Matt black reduced from £120 to £89

The second point is it arrived today and I fitted in in about 15 mins

and the rear wheel would not turn.

On closer examination I slackened off the four mounting bolts of the plastic shell to the bracket and moved it over to the full travel provided by the oval holes in the bracket. This helped a little and in the end I grasped the plastic shell and flexed it a little away from the wheel . OK I bent the fingers of the mounting bracket a tiny bit an hey presto I have the same gap between the shell and the wheel all the way around

So it fits with just a slight tweek and all for £89.

Well pleased with the result .
