Hi

Not sure if you mean 3 fixing points but this is mine. Don't think it will show enough detail but without getting it back out of its vac bag it's the best I can do.

Thanks Wolfheze yes i mean 3 fixing points but mine is a 550f not sure if the engine mounts are the same as yours.
Did you fit your own?? Did you have to use longer bolts.
Thanks

Don't think there is anything different about the frames but I'm no expert! Mine came with the bike and were fitted when the bike was being worked on to sort some poor running issues I had at the time. They didn't mention anything about them not fitting very well.
