For anyone reading this with the same issue as me - the 348FZ fits the 2001 model perfectly and includes the brackets to hang the indicators.
The PL349 does not fit the 2001 model. They moved the right-hand pillion footrest/exhaust hanger in and up on the 2003 model so the PL349 leaves a nearly inch gap when fitted to a 2001 model. And the tubes are damn stiff, as you would hope, so they're almost impossible to bend.
However, if you happen to have a heavy-duty pipe bender (for plumbing) that will just about do the trick with some very careful geometry dead-reckoning and a lot of huffing and puffing. And luckily, the tube is just the right length so with the right bend the mounting slot ends up just the right place. The tubes take the bending well and didn't even need any touching-up (though I did wrap them in cloth before the bend).
Another tip - Givi recommend cutting the leads to your indicators to insert the extender leads. That means electrical connectors hanging around exactly where all the spray gets thrown up. Instead, with a bit of wriggling, you can just disconnect the indicator leads where they are plugged in behind the rear light unit and insert the extension there - no cutting and no new connectors sitting right where they're gonna get soaked.
Good luck!
Don't blame me if you break your pipe bender!!
