If you use a die to thread the shaft of the sprocket bolts like I said it should not stick out any more than your cap screw plus the washers.
On the left side of the Berg frame - which has the
regulator/rectifier in the same spot (it used to be the ECU on the earlier bikes) - I even had to use a thin nut (washers would have worked too) to get enough clearance. At full lock the forks now just hit the rads, or rather the BPD guards I now have on there.
Edit: I took this pic when I did mine, you will need a M8x1.25 die and a vise to hold the bolt while you thread it.
