Rear Tire Hugger Install

1.  Remove left side passenger foot peg bracket. (10mm)
2.  Loosen rear brake line bolt(12mm) and rotate the line out of the way.  Loosen the bolt only enough to rotate it or a decent amount of fluid will come out.  Tighten it  back up so it stays.
3.  Wash swing arm where the 3M outside strength double sided tape will adhere. Use alcohol and/or soap & water.
4.  Unscrew the front bolt(10mm) on the chain guard.
5.  Make sure front bolt on chain guard fits easily through bolt hole in the tire hugger.  If not roll some sand paper up and widen the hole a little.
6.  Fit tire hugger. Make sure everything lines up.
7.  Pull tire hugger off and remove backing on the 3M outside strength double sided tape.
8.  Refit the tire hugger to the previous position and press down to make the tape adhere.
9.  Screw the front bolt on the chain guard back in using the provided soft washer.
10.  Loosen the rear brake line bolt, rotate back to the original position, and tighten it back up.
11.  Reinstall left side passenger foot peg bracket.
Done!
