All the exhausts should be the same over the years of '89-'99, I think. Yours should be the "FX" model.
Delkevic says that their pipes "fit exactly as original".

I was considering the same set for my '95. I'd be interested to see someone with them fitted, too...

Sandybikespares in Beds,England have a good set[s] of 4-2,4-1 or just silencers for the CBR1000 F.They are pretty good prices,but the freight to Aussie is a little expensive.
Check them out on ebay.

I went full stainless 4-2-1 system and did some remodeling of the heel plates to make them fit.

Cheers - was quite happy with the result of £20 in alloy mesh, body filler and smoothrite silver paint.

The other side was done at the same time.

excellent mod there, i like the balance of two pipes in my eye, purely my own choice, thanks for the reply's ,, the pipe is ordered today,down to honda shop for the '0' ring seals for the head,and the gaskets and clamps for the rear.
i replaced the seals all at the start of the year when it got welded, so just being a tad fussy with all new again,hopefully it won't need touched for many years

I was thinking about grabbing a set of those pipes just to keep onhand, actually. Mine are getting a little surface rust on them, and I think this winter I may try to remove it all and repaint everything.
I hate rust.

Me too - but the headers were given to me and the pipe was a good price.

I did stick with balanced pipes on the new toy - haha
