Has anybody fitted genuine Yamaha panniers to their 09 using the stays ?? I've acquired some, but it seems that the rear foot rests have to be removed in order for them to fit, not much use if you want to take a pillion.
Haven't tried to fit the near side yet, still trying to see why the offside won't fit, it seems that the reservoir is in the way.
ive seen them fitted to the demo bikes at the darkside downpour so there must be a spacer to move the res. out the way..No spacers with the stays, I got the set up of ebay, will try and fit the near side later and see what that looks like, i'll try to take some pics and post later
Managed to get them fitted, I made some spacers 20mm diameter x 15mm long but they could be 20mm long as the reservoir is touching the stay, and are put together with 40mm button head set screws (50mm for the demo)

I got the panniers for mine too (Wales tour last month) but I really like the look of that seat, where did you get it?
I'm guessing you checked this, but does the shape of the stay not allow for the reservoir to sit in front of it with the pipe running behind? Your picture looks like the problem is clearance for the pipe, not the reservoir. I'd be amazed if the product required for customers to make adapters to make it fit. Unless you bought an incomplete kit.
When you tighten it up without the spacers the reservoir bracket bends and the pipe gets trapped, I now have some deeper spacers, which when fitted should leave a small gap between the reservoir and the stay.
As for the right stay for the bike, I don't know as I can't see a part number. these were purchased secondhand.
No fitting instructions then? I think the pipe should run behind the pannier bracket with the reservoir in front, but that's just from looking at your first photo! I haven't fitted these myself
I have uploaded four pics to photobucket
