AllWeather Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Good morning Team Has anyone here fitted an FZ166 monorack to a 6th gen with TBR Vale mufflers fitted ? It looks like I have two options worth entertaining 1 : remove the TBR alloy spacer from between the subframe and the exhaust hanger hence moving the mufflers in towards the centerline of the bike more (will this cause the tyre to hit the mufflers on full compression ? ) Not too sure if they will miss the factory fender or be too close as to melt said fender( removing the fender where I live is a certain ticket ) 2 : Cut the same length of the spacer from the FZ rack muffler hanger bolt tube OR refit the stock muffler (I would rather cut my left testicle off ) Cheers James............................ .................wanders off into shed to try and fit rack as my new V47Just arrived this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe these pics will help. I don't recall having to do any "modding" or "work arounds" when I installed the mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllWeather Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Cheers for those photos My cans sit more horizontal than yours do if that makes sense and seem to sit further out There is an 18mm spacer that looks like a swingarm bobbin for a race stand that is placed in between the muffler strap and the subframe for the standard TBR fitment obviously this would make the plate mounting hole centers out by 36mm with both spacers in place and then the plate will not fit I may have to machine 18mm off the round tube on the FZ rack that the muffler hanger bolt goes through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
