My curvy has a metal bracket the bolts on where the rear brake line runs, the bracket runs parallel and above the swingarm by about an inch. The hugger has two more bolts that go through the bracket.

I just got round to fitting a Pyramid hugger to my SK4 last weekend. The left hand side uses the two screws that secure the chain guard, but the right hand side has a bracket that wraps around the rear swing arm and is secured by the bolt in the top of the swing arm that is used to hold the rear brake line cage thing in place. Two screws through this bracket holds the right hand side of the hugger in place. It would be quite easy to knock up this bracket yourself using some aluminium/steel flat bar. If you can wait till the weekend I can take a picture of the bracket to give you an idea.

Make sure you have the rubber grommets so as to avoid cracks through vibration etc. which make is it?

Just ring the company and they will send you a complete fitting kit. Screws grommets and bracket for a very reasonable fee. I think it was £15.

Cheers
