The thing is, it was only the headers (down as far as the cat pipe) that I'd removed.
They came off without touching the cat pipe etc, so (you'd think) they'd go back on again pretty easily...!
I asked on a dedicated FZ6 forum and also phone Yam UK and both suggested removing the mounting bolts on the cat pipe which should (hopefully!) let me swing it far enough forward to get the end of the downpipes in place without needing to dismantle half the back of the bike.
Unfortunately, Yam UK also said I really need to replace the cylinder head gaskets too, so I ordered some off eBay which should have arrived today (they promised Fast and Free), but then they didn't mark the new gaskets as dispatched until about 8pm yesterday evening.
So today I've been unable to do a thing with it
Hopefully they'll turn up tomorrow and I can get this sorted...
