My experience of them was that with the genuine Yamaha centre stand fitted these links did not work. The link fouled the left hand mounting bolt on the centre stand. Not in every position (there are four height settings) but in two out of the four they hit the bolt and this was enough to make me send them back for a refund.
I do not see this as an overall problem with Projection Components products, just this particular style of "multi position" links.

Don't necessarily rule out the Projection Components adjustable links if you have a centre stand fitted. They are good and give you a chance to play around with what suits.
I have the their adjustable raising links, which have the same clearance problem in two positions and there is a simple fix to make them work in all positions.
Replace the LH centre stand pivot bolt with one with a standard hex head (not flanged) and insert it from the inside, so the nut is on the outside. This arrangement allows the PC links to clear the pivot bolt in all positions. (You cannot reverse the OE bolt to achieve this as its flanged head is just as big its nut.)
