Pyramid Hugger fitting on a K6

I like it black

Agreed! Thanks for the pics, I've fitted mine now and I think I'm gonna stick with black as it seems to blend in with all the other black bits around it.

I fitted a Pyramid hugger to my K6 about 12 months ago.

It took an age to get sitting straight, but all I did was man-handle it into position - not very helpful I know!

The problem is with the metal bracket on the caliper side. Its a terrible design. The have easy access to a tapped hole on the top surface of the swing arm (where the rear brake hose was secured) and they chose to use a clamp type bracket that relies on pressure to keep it located. Crap design...and the rubber pads slide out from underneath the bracket too.

I almost went to a local fabrication company I know to make me a bracket that would locate on the tapped hole.

My thoughts exactly!!

As you have had your fitted a while, does yours pick up stones and other crap and drag it thru the hugger?

Just worried if it was anything sharp, it could slice the tyre!!

I do pick up stones but I havent had any problems with them getting stuck that I am aware of.

Its not just me then!?

When riding slow, like pulling off the driveway, i noticed a few noises. So I stopped to take a look. Sure enough, stones! Theres probably about 3mm gap between the top of the tyre and hugger.

I'm sure it won't be a problem once they've squared off!
