While searching for parts for my fiance's 2018 MT-09, I stumbled across the Sato Racing Hooks. I got to looking and her passenger peg mounting brackets use the exact same brackets as my 2018 MT-10. I have been looking for peg deletes for my bike and was discouraged by the offerings. Almost all them are severely overpriced and left me without a way to secure my Oxford luggage. $75 for a couple of thin, flat pieces of aluminium that say Evotech, was not going to happen! These are made to create a tie down point to secure the rear of the bike when trailering. I figured if they were strong enough to ratchet strap the rear of my bike down on a trailer, they would work for my soft luggage. I decided to spend the $57 and give them a shot since they don't show for the MT-10. They bolted right up without a hitch and even come with pre-drilled spots to mount your pee cup if you relocated it. Super quality, fit and finish for the money and also allow some usefulness. The only caveat, is that they do make slight contact with the rear subframe side fairings, bit it's not an issue at all. motostarz.com/collections/fz-09-mt-09-17-18/products/sato-racing-hooks-for-14-18-yamaha-fz-09-mt-09-16-18-xsr900  |

There are absolutely NO blanking plates made for the FZ/MT-10, unfortunately. All we can get is MT-09 ones, including yours and mine (Evotech). I considered the Satos, but the fit issues I suspected (and you confirmed) were a turn-off. Thought about buying them and installing them upside down (to both hide the ugly letters and avoid clearance issues) as a last resort, but when I found out ordering the Evotechs directly from them cost $40 (vs $70 for the Satos), I ordered the Evotechs. Was disappointed they're thinner in the middle, so not as beefy as the Satos appear to be, but should be enough to just apply light pressure to prevent the rear of the bike from bouncing. Will also strap the rear tire as a precaution. And yes, I also turned those Evotechs upside down, since the bike will be strapped from below, and to hide the equally hideous letters as well. The plate is not flat at the back, with the round 'washers' showing, but it's better than the alternative. By the way, the Satos I found were almost $100, so apparently both Evotechs and Satos can be had cheaper directly from the manufacturer than resellers like Amazon and such. Here's a pic of mine (it also shows below it where I installed the pigtail to charge the battery):  |

I’ve seen those in the past, made specifically for the FZ/MT-10. I like the looks of them, and they appear to be designed to be multi-functional. Those are definitely the ones that I’d go with if they weren’t $45 EACH. Sheesh...so expensive. |

Anyone found them cheaper anywhere?
I've looked at motomummy and sport bike track gear and can't find them.

I’ve seen those in the past, made specifically for the FZ/MT-10. Nope. They were also made for the MT-09, hence the holes to mount the brake reservoir  . But at least those fit the FZ/MT-10 equally well. I actually like those better than the others, but don't like neither use the stock bolts. And yes, the price didn't help. Ha ha. I'd also get those (in black) first, if the price wasn't so steep. |

Not to mention the photos of the brackets mounted on an MT-10. Am I misunderstanding? |

All of them are advertised as made for the FZ-MT/10 just because they have the same spacing, but were designed for the MT-09. The Satos are pretty obvious because they have the holes for the reservoir. Mine because they fit the MT-09 perfectly, as seen in their main photo. They look a bit weird curved like that on our bikes, but don't look bad. And same with the holes in yours. It only makes sense not to expect a lot of aftermarket support for a low production bike. Probably all of the exhaust options on our bike were made for the R1, not our bike. So we have to get used to be second fiddle. Ha ha. But hey, at least we have some options. Wish I could say the same about my rare cancer, but makes perfect sense to focus on more common ones to save more people and make more money. It is what it is in both cases. He he.

I don’t know how YOU know that they weren’t made for the FZ/MT-10. If it makes you feel better, to believe that, then let’s go with it! I’m on board. |

Ask them and you'll know . But common sense goes a long way. Which bike would you make them for, if the MT-09 produces much more than MT-10s? I thought so. He he. |

So, maybe we’re talking about different products? That’s what I’m concluding at this point. I hate to spend another minute on this, but I’m genuinely curious at this point. So, I have a few minutes between clients. Check it out... On Dec 11, at 3:59pm, theculturalattache posted a good link, to a very specific set of Sato Racing hooks, made specifically for the FZ/MT-10. He asked if anyone had tried those specific hooks. I On Dec 11, at 4:18pm, I responded because that post piqued my interest. I had, indeed, seen those specific hooks before, and liked them. I had not bought them because they appeared over-priced, in my opinion. So, THOSE are the specific hooks that a couple of us are talking about. Are those the same hooks you are talking about elpaso? Or, are you talking about the hooks in the link that YOU posted? Here's that same link that theculturalattache posted: www.satoracing.com/racinghooks_yamahaFZ10.htmI'm guessing that you are talking about a different set of hooks. 1) Interestingly, Sato Racing lists these hooks ONLY for the FZ/MT-10. If you search their site for the -09, there are various hooks available (which do indeed include an M8 threaded hole for mounting the brake reservoir), but this specific hook is not one of them. I would be surprised if they made this specific hook for the -09, but then NOT list it for sale for the -09, right? 2) If they did make these hooks specifically for the -09, as you insist, then they made them incorrectly. These hooks have M6 threaded holes, which do not match the bolt on the -09 brake reservoir. 3) Even the part number is very specific, that it is for the -10. The part number for these hooks is Y-MT10HOOK-BK (for black) or Y-MT10HOOK-GD (for anodized gold). Obviously, the hooks will fit either the 09 or the 10. I get it. There is no dispute. The bolt pattern is the same. I guess the only question is how / why you would claim to know one way or the other or, even more importantly, why it would even matter hahaha. Sheesh. Like, why chime in just to say "Nope" you’re wrong, Sato Racing did NOT make that hook for the -10??? So, anyway, as I said, I’m genuinely curious at this point. So, I called your bluff (nice one, sir), and I called Sato Racing! The guy I spoke with was very nice, and chatted with me for a bit. I pretended that I have an MT-09, but that I really wanted these specific hooks that they sell for the -10. I asked him if they would fit. He took a minute to look through his resources, and confirmed what I already knew.. the bolt pattern is the same, so they will fit. But, then, before I even asked my next question, he read my mind (like I said, he was helpful). He said his only concern would be how I would mount my brake reservoir because those hooks have different threaded holes than what I will need for my -09. I can’t blame him for his next comment, when he asked me if I had seen their hooks that are specifically for my MT-09. He didn’t understand why I wouldn’t just go with hooks that are actually made for my bike. I just chuckled and told him that I really like these ones, even though they aren’t made specifically for my -09. So, he proceeded to help me, explaining that I could get a universal bracket and somehow make it work for my -09. Anywho..... I think it’s really and truly official at this point! These Sato Racing hooks are made specifically for the FZ/MT-10. Yes, they’ll also work for the -09, if a guy is able/willing to do something different with his brake reservoir. Not that any of this matter at all. Haha. 👍🏽😉😎 Whew... |
