Will a set of downpipes for a YZF600R Thundercat fit a FZR600R (4JH) without any modifications?

for the 3HH no for sure as the pipes need tweeking apart to fit there are older threads on this and I believe it was ThatKid who sold a few Modded sets so you can see what he did.

What year is the 4JH as i thought all 600'sFZR were all 3HH here in the UK.

Although I am sure SWEEKSTER will correct me again LoL

It is a 1994 UK model.

Here is a pic of it when I got it home.

Oh a foxeye.
John can you do me a personal favour at some point & tell me what the center distance of the mounting holes for the passanger foot pegs is..

Reason for asking is there is an Urban Legend that says there are alloy foot pegs for the rear that fit the earlier model (they have naff bent tubes) FZR600. I have seen alsorts of model but never found a set that fit
Thanks
Y_Geo.

Trying to avoid doing any work so I popped out to measure for you. The hole centres are pretty much exactly 9cm apart.

It should fit with no problems. The engine between that and Foxeye and the Thundercat are the same except for the charging rotor / stator and the carbs. I don't think Yamaha changed the exhaust system between the two models.

By the way, your bike is a 1995 or 1996 not a 2004. if it is listed as a 2004, then that was the import or registration date.

Corrected the decade. It was first registered in April 1994. The UK 1995 model iirc had more suspension adjustment and came in different colour schemes.

Thanks. Might get this bike back on the road soonish, seen a new stainless exhaust on ebay for £100 and Motad have got downpipes for £129 which is also a bargain.

More of a project than I was hoping for although it is about as bad as I actually suspected.
