Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Hi Guys,
Put the rear hugger on... took the rear hugger off.
This looked way too close...
Have put some washers in one end and need to drill a hole in the front end to tie down like Fung suggested as well. Still not sure its going to fit.
Thought for sure a TRX rear hugger would fit no mods. Just beware team in case your thinking of the powerbronze guys off ebay...

hey fella,how about a side shot?

Tyres are all slightly different sizes and profiles so that may be the issue

FWIW, if it isn't rubbing it shoudl be fine - tyres don't expand that much

Hi mate,
Phone decided its not going to connect and cough up the photos I took of the side at the moment, so will work on that.

Hey Victor.
Just ride the bloody thing, it will wear in fine.

Yeah, if you ride in reverse . A hugger mounted like this can grab on the tyre and virtually explode, I've seen it happen, not pretty.

Well talked to Powerbronze guys and they said 7 to 10 mm clearance is about right....
Still going to pull it with a tie down at the front to be certain...

before i repositioned my hugger and reset the chain tension, when i went up springbrook i picked up lots of stones which dragged themselves around and under the hugger!
terrible din and potentially a hugger explosion/major damage.
imho more is better on out roads o red one.
cheers
