Pyramid Hugger fitting on a K6
 
Ive just tried fitting a pyramid rear hugger to my K6 pointy, but just cant get it to sit central.

The chain side is fine, lots of clearance etc, but the other side is a nightmare. it sits almost slightly lopsided and no matter how many adjustments i make to the bracket, or the tightness of the bolts, its defo not right.

Ive tried ringing Pyramid but no answer, so was wondering has anyone got any pics of a pyramid hugger fitted, showing the rear view(so i can see how far off the tyre it should be) and also the right hand side on view showing exactly where the bracket is fitted and if there is any angle on the fitment..

If anyone can help i would SERIOUSLY appreciate it, as its ****ing me off!!!:mad:

i find its best to fit the hugger then twist it straight then do up the bolts.

yours looks spot on, yet this just doesnt seem to want to fit like that, i dont get it at all!!

Have you got a pic from the right hand side on, looking behind the exhaust where the bracket is?

What a coincidence!

I've just come in from fitting a pyramid hugger to my K6.

I found I had to bend the Rear LHS mounting point to get mine to sit central.

And I also straightened out the bracket that they supply. I'll go take some pics.

Back in a min!:D

I had similar problems fitting the genuine Suzuki one. What I did in the end was use some washers on various holes to centralise the hugger. Looks spot on now.

KwakZZR, where did you get that double bubble from, if you don't mind me asking? Looks a better shape than mine.:cool:

Thanks.
