So you're not sure, but confident that they will bolt up. I can understand the bolt pattern but what about the angle of the engine mounted in the frame. The same? Then there's the tri-y design vs the classic 4 into 1. Oh yeah, and the cylinder 2-3 cross-over tube on the Fz6... tuning differences?
Seems like a lot of things are different
I'd really appreciate a reply from somebody that's done it or has seen it. The cutting and welding of post header collector isn't of concern SO LONG AS the header's collector is centered under the bike. I don't want to go to a side muffler (my butt stays warm with stock).
