I'm really scratching my head trying to install some new Sato Rear Sets.
I've ran into a number of oddities and wanted to tap into the collective knowledge to figure out the right path forward.
1. The lower fairing mount bracket interferes with the rear set base mounting plate. The part circled in red is what would need to be cut/ground off so that the rear set mounting plate will sit flush.
2. Does anyone account for the thickness of that fairing mount bracket sitting under the rear set mounting plate? It seems the OEM rear sets took this thickness into account:
3. I understand that the Pipe Stay is suppose to bolt through the small hole and sit behind the rear set base mounting plate:
The problem with this is that (unless you use the highest 2 mounting options) the bolts for the step plate are long and protrude too far, and would be driven into the Pipe Stay:
4. Even when I get everything situated, it is nowhere close to lining up to the exhaust tab mounting brackets (everything lined up perfectly with OEM):
The left side is closer, but still off:
Any thoughts / help would be much appreciated!!
