Hey all, new owner here

I was changing my exhaust over to a new shiny one, when I came a cropper, the aftermarket exhaust manufacturer sent out came with one nut bolt and washer plus no instructions (by accident but how hard can it be?)

So I remove the hanger for the old exhaust (old exhaust already off at this point) and after a quick phone call the company I work out that my model of the FZ is different to the one they used when fitting the exhaust to it for demo purposes. The 2 bolts that go through the hanger and into the footrest don't come out the other side on mine (2012) whereas the 2010 model they fitted it to originally requires the nut to hold the bolt in place meaning it must come through and out the other side?

They're currently going down to their local dealer to compare this but I'm wondering if anybody out there with the FZ8 (faired or unfaired I don't think it matters as my dads is naked and the same setup as mine which is faired)

So do your exhaust hanger bolts go right through the foot peg hanger or do they just bolt into a pre threaded section and stop? I will be sourcing a shorter bolt today as it would appear that would solve the issue, and the manufacturer are sending out shorter bolts anyway whilst they find out what went wrong

Any help appreciated !
