Just got this link from Soupy's performance and took it to a couple of shops and they all said it's the wrong link due to the longer flanges (look at pic below). Soupy also confirmed that this is the correct link.

So i would like to seek help from other 99-02 R6 owners with soupy link to confirm if i have the right one or the wrong one... Please help...

aparently, the link is an exact fit. I tried putting it on myself with some friends... The shops I went to are a bunch of idiots... Thank you Soupy.. Nice product !!!!
