No facility for an exup valve, which despite the ad's blurb is actually a pretty useful item, at least on the Gen1.
Avoid unless you ride everywhere above 6000

A common fault on the FZS1000 is corrosion of the Exup valve, resulting in blowing headers (mot failure ) and broken control cables from the valve seizing shut. Causing power loss and/or that annoying rattle from the valve. Our headers do away with the whole Exup housing and troublesome valve.

Don't know him personally, the brother of a mates ex!
