I watched the Hotbodies install video three times. You would think that would help in what your getting into. NOPE!!! The brackets for the brake side were not the same as the video. I could only mount the foot peg in one position as to get the exhaust bracket even close to the muffler. I still had to fabricate a bracket to connect the two. The brake reservoir is now so high the mounting bracket is useless. Thank goodness for zip ties. On the shifter side if I mounted the peg in the same holes as the brake side they were not even close to matching. After alot of time and bad language the install was a success. With the pegs being higher it feels more like a sportbike but I did not find it uncomfortable. Even though I made them work and I think they look great I would suggest you spend the extra money for rearsets that are better quality.

Your brake side bracket is on wrong. Needs to be flipped as it's upside down how it sits in the picture. The bolts should be sitting in some little cnc'd pockets like your shift side. That'll help with the exhaust hanger alignment too. I had these on my FZ-10 also. Got nailed on one side by a car and nailed a car on the other side. Brake side got a little bent so I went with Woodcraft. Both are goo but I like my woodcraft's way more. They feel way stiffer. The Hotbodies just felt like they had too much flex for me as I like to stand up to give my legs and but a small break every so often. And Hotbodies website for reference (sorry for the size, copy and pasted it):
