I think your silencers may be from an M600?
600 ones are much shorter than 900 ones, especially the early 600.

I use 750 ones on my 900, they are halfway between 600 and 900 in length.
In fact the standard silencers for my injection 900 are very long, more so than the earlier 900.

As well as the triangular brackets, you will need the rubber bushes to go into the footrest hanger holes, and also the alloy top hat washers that go inside the bushes.

If they are not already cored and you have an inclination to this. By far the easiest way is to just drill a few holes in the plate that reduces the tail pipe to the small outlet.

Mine where elaborately cored by removing the plate and replacing it with a perforated plate. To get it to sound nice, rather than just harshly loud, I had to pack the last chamber with stainless wool.
Upon dismantling another standard pair I discovered that the end chamber is the only one to contain any s/s wool anyway... Hence why just drilling the end plate will achieve the same thing.

I've got the silencer brackets and bolts on the way so I will need the rubber bushes, top hat spacers and boots if anyone has them.

The inscription on the silencers states which models they have type approval for. In this instance the later photo's say they are for the m900.

The earliest m900 silencers didn't have a chamfer on the underside, but by the time of the launch of the m600 the chamfer had been introduced and the silencers were Type Approved for both m600 and m900. I'm sure I've seen silencers list m600, m750 and m900 on them, but M1000 silencers are definitely longer and there may have been changes on the others in later years as legislation changed.
