Trying to fit a new pyramid hugger on my 07 K6 pointy,its on a paddock stand and rubbing a little bit when i turn the wheel, but the bracket can't go forward anymore where it need to because of the rear brake hose clamp, has anyone fitted one and how did you get round this...?

Hey
I have the same issue with a hugger I bought for my 61
Reg sv. After deciding not to cut the hose bracket I spoke to my dealership today and they suggested screwing the hose clip into the bracket. This sounded sensible but I haven't had a chance to check if it will work.
Quick question. Does your bracket fit your swingarm? Mine fits on. But when I tightened it, there is about an inch at the bottom so it is not snug enough to prevent moving.
I'll try post a pic if I can.

I ended up cutting the hose bracket off as it was the only way i could stop the hugger from rubbing, mine fits snugly, have added a pic
Could not screw the bracket into mine as if you see on the pic non of the holes on the bracket are on the arm

Good work. I think my hugger is not the correct one for my bike. I've seen on the pyramid website that there are 2 versions. 1 for black swing arms and 1 for silver. My bracket is silver and after seeing your pic you have a black bracket. Damn. Need to eBay a hugger now and buy another one.
Cheers
