Geof3, I realize you are not trying to argue, but, it would have to have been a very accurate piece or rubber to land on one bolt, and not the underside of the hugger. There is also a groove in the tire where it has made contact, exact width of the bolt, exact position of the bolt, dead center of the tire.
I emailed the company, he said it is the first time he has had a complaint and blamed it on the installation. Told me to check the instructions on the invoice. I replied, pretty much confirming that I am not an idiot.
Even the triumph dealer mechanic said that is what it was. I guess, unless you see the tire and the positioning of the bolt, that it is hard to imagine or picture. There is no doubt that it was the bolt in the hugger. I will modify it and check the installation, and let you know if it happens after that.
