Fitted my new Pyramid hugger this morning..........but it seems a bit biased towards the near side. OK quite a lot biased.
Is this usual or can anyone suggest a solution please? Or perhaps post a close up of their hugger.
Would post a piccie but the camera's u.s.....and my phone won't sync with my Mac.

Sounds like a good reason to buy AirPrint lol can't really help with the hugger except to say mine does not seem noticeably biased excluding the optical illusion of having the chainguard which may make it seem so

I have a pyramid hugger myself, make sure you have fitted cable ties has per instuctions around swingarm correctly and hopefully this should help. Also have you removed the plastic bracket covering the speedo sensor wire before fitting the hugger?

No, it's touching the tyre on the off-side and gapping nearly an inch on the near-side......despite all the fiddling and adjusting

I should also point out that it ISN'T a Pyramid product but a fibreglass hugger from Skidmarx.
It's frustrating because their service and communications were amazingly good!

Sincere apologies to Pyramid Plastics.
Embarrassed

something does not sound right at all, i think a call to skidmarx maybe in order

I've decided that it's probably distorted, it certainly appears to be

I've managed to email them some photo's.
Just another wasted Sunday LoL! Good job I got up at 6 to watch the Grand Prix!

Hugger update!

Skidmarx have replaced my hugger and I have to say that I am thoroughly impressed with their service!

Now to figure out how to fit the new minimalist plate hanger.
