nightic Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Hi guys, Been lurking here for a while, from Europe, and just had a quick question that I hope someone can help with. I've just taken delivery of a new XSR700 (MT-07 ended up being a bit cramped for me) and am looking at luggage solutions for it. As I'll most likely be going for larger saddlebags of some type (Kreiga Duo-28/36 topping the list at the moment), a support rail will be necessary/advisable. I'm ideally looking for a quick-release type and the one SW-Motech supply with their 'Blaze' saddelbags looks ideal. (This part is also offered seperately as an official Yamaha MT-07 accessory: 'Soft Side Bags Stays' - P/N: 1WS-FSSBS-00-00.) I was therefore wondering if a kind FZ-07/MT-07 owner out there could let me know the hole spacing of the pillion footpeg mounts (as per the image below), as although I believe that it's different from that of the XSR700, I'd like to see if the modification would be minor/invisible enough for me to attempt. (Incidentally, the hole spacing on the XSR700, from centre to centre, is ~92.5mm.) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstertt Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 84mm center to center... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightic Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 84mm center to center...Thanks a lot for that - I appreciate you going to the trouble of taking the measurement. The difference seems small enough to allow the stays to work on the XSR700, with a simple modification of is bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstertt Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 8.5mm difference or almost 3/8", I know a lot of brackets will have one elongated hole but not sure if there's enough material for you to modify the one you're thinking of since I haven't seen it...good luck.
