FrankoQ Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Finally found time to install the hugger. Some pics: Had to remove this to get to that screw removed wheel to easily get to those other screws: Yes, that chain needs lube. bracket installed. cables secured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KanadianKen Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Great write up! In this photo - is the up pipe touching the hugger? (Optical illusion maybe?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankoQ Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Great write up! In this photo - is the up pipe touching the hugger? (Optical illusion maybe?) It is tight but it is not touching. In fact, I'm going back to see if I can slide the actual hugger to the left and away from the up pipe a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KanadianKen Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I took off my old Power Bronze POS hugger today after my ride. Also took off the OEM chain guard. Then I decided to clean 10 years of chain spooge off the chain guard, swingarm, and everywhere else I could get to with some degreaser and a brush. WOW. I think I lowered the weight of the bike by about 8 oz of old chain spooge!!! Bike is ready and waiting for the "extra" hugger from the group buy. Looking forward to a decent quality piece! Hoping my LEO Vince up pipe isn't going to touch this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping my LEO Vince up pipe isn't going to touch this one. it won't touch but it will be too close. I took a short test ride 10 minutes max and came back to check the hugger. I can't see the extent but it did something to the hugger. I parked and will get some heat tape to see if that helps. I might have to find a way to slide the hugger a little away from the pipe but there is no much room. Hope to get this done this weekend so I can go ride.

Still, I put some heat tape just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGREGT Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I took off my old Power Bronze POS hugger today after my ride. Also took off the OEM chain guard. POS? Fill me in. Thinking about one, Ken. What do you hate about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KanadianKen Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Flimsy and moves around a lot. Melts on the up pipe as well. It's just not a high end piece. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
