After installing my Scorpion exhaust, I found that my FAZR6 FE kit was indeed compatible, but didn't "connect" to the license plate support kit that was supplied by Scorpion.
After much deliberation, I ordered this kit, as it has the 2 vertical pre-drilled holes at each side that attach directly to the Scorpion's attachment piece:-

It is well made, but has two distinct issues that make it a non-starter, imo:-
-It is almost identical in configuration and positioning as the OEM fender (IOW, the license plate will sit just as far our and in the same place as with the OEM fender; FAZR6's FE kit places the license plate about 4" further in, which looks MUCH better).
-The "unique LED license plate light" is useless. It is a tiny LED that mounts through a tiny hole in the angle just above the license plate. It illuminates an area about 2" in diameter. Absolutely useless, so you will have to either install the OEM license plate light or some sort of supplemental lighting to make it legal at night.
I brought this to the supplier's attention, who brought it to the manufacturer's attention, and apparently I'm "the only one to complain"
They offered to send me a second LED but I'd have to pay $8.95 shipping.
Don't bother with this rather expensive substitute for the OEM fender.... Yes, it replaces the OEM fender, but nobody will notice that it's supposed to be a "FE" kit. Go with FAZR6's kit which is superior.
Not recommended unless you prefer steel to plastic.
I solved the "connection" problem with the excellent FAZR6 FE kit by drilling a couple of small holes in both the Scorpion bottom bracket and the FAZR6 bracket and screwing them together. Perfect. :thumbup:
