have a look through my thread, i know i asked the same question before buyin mine
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=23958


cant remember the correct answer though, iirr its the jap bikes that can take the frame bobbins. those bobbins linked are for the frame, check to see if you have 2 threaded holes either side of you bike just infront of the front cylinders.

I have those e-bay ones on my '30 and they are equal quality to RnG ones which I also have (but scuffed :( )
For £26 they are one of the best bargains I've had off e-bay in a long while 8-)
Not sure if they'd fit you bike though, sorry :(

i have the coyote moto ones, the bolts are wank/idea, however the bobbins are spot on, i drilled the mounts out to 10mm dia and ran a M10 threaded rod through and bolted them against each other that way the impact force is spread across the engine and not on the individual engine mount,

you will need to cut two half moon shapes in your lower fairings.
