I came by a set of R&G hangers for sale on the bay and knowing I'd need to make adjustments to fit my bike,I went ahead and bought them anyway.
The holes line up fine,but is a mile away from the strap holding the can,so I bought some spacers,neat,black and anodised. I wanted it to look like it wasn't a lashup.
On the right side hanger there is a mounting point for the rear brake reservoir which gets in the way of the bracket holding the remote preload adjuster for the rear shock. Since I've no use for that,I cut it off,cleaned it up and gave it a touch of paint,which is currently drying!
For those interested in dimensions of spacers required,they are as follows.
The top two frame mounted are 20mm outside diameter x 15mm tall and 8.5mm centre hole.
The bottom spacer is 22mm outside diameter x 15 tall and 10.5mm hole.
The same for both sides. I bought them here. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Anodised-Aluminium-Spacers-Black-Clear-Grey-Blue-Red-cnc-uk-M5-6-8-10-12/274125782311?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=574238337661&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
