New member clocking in to say hi,
My name is Nick (ignore the user name, long story) & I've just fulfilled a lifetime dream of buying an 89 FZR1000r Exup.
The plan is to get it as mint as possible as it's a bike I plan to keep for life, it's currently in amazing condition & has 25k on the clock but I want to bring it right up to original & as high a standard as possible.

where abouts in Derbyshire are you from?. My bike originally came from a small village called Bubnell just outside Chatsworth

Hello Nick and welcome to the site.

Thanks guys, I'm in Chesterfield & am original from Shropshire, the better half is from Lincs so we regularly get into both Lincs & Wales on our Z1000's
The FZR is a toy, bit of a project as I'm a panel beater/painter.
Always wanted one since I passed my test in 1987 & I'm over the moon with the quality of this one.
The only part I am stuck for to make it mint is a set of downpipes (exup of course) I could repair mine but I really want a long term permanent solution

creed may have some downpipes, sure he'll be along shortly

I think Creedxup (he's our parts supplier

) has a nice set of refurbished downpipes still for sale?

He'll be along in a minute.

Cheers guys, I've PM'd him, I think I may have spoken to him through eBay already, hopefully he can help me, I really am after making this bike for life, I'm far more excited about it than my new Z :-)

I know what you mean. I like many others on here have had these exup for years. I wouldn't part with mine. I love it to bits. It can still leave some of the modern stuff standing.

Roadrunner said that too until it was time to pay the bill at the cafe

Now, now chaps. Don't you know you'll give me a complex. It's just that I'm a bit careful that's all

Oh, nearly forgot! Welcome in Nick. Great site this

Hope you do keep the Exup. I have never tired of mine, also an '89 model, and I've owned it for 24 years.

He's not an easy chap to get hold of is Mr Creedexup.
I guess he must be on holiday? Got my bike in bits with no headers on & it's sunny.... Aggghhhh lol
