bandit headers ?

[bobo]

hey guys, did we ever find out if a 'bandit' header will fit onto a gs ? was a bit of talk about it a while ago but never got a definate answer....b.b.

No reason it shouldn't. There's a post from a guy that bolted a stock GSXR1100 pipe on his 700. You can see it bolted on in his avatar.

I think the generation 1 headers fit but not the gen. 2. I bought a full system of unknown year for my 1100 and the headers did not fit. They are too short to clear the sump and the flanges are at a steeper angle than the GS head.

I did use the midpipe and can though 8) .

nah I tried, I got a set of bandit 12 headers, and when I received them they were smashed to bits, in a postal van accident or some such BS, I havnt got my money back from the postal service, they they did say they apoligise for the inconveniance. I bought a new pipe off ebay in the end, smart looking, they way next to nothing compared to the stock GS1150 Headers, I havnt put them on yet becouse Im still waing on my RAASK rear sets to come from the UK

I have bandit 1200 headers on my 850, they were modified to fit. Don't ask me what it entails, I took it off a parts bike.

The problem in trying to fit them to older generation GS models is port size and the size of the engine. '83 and up 700/750 models have the correct port size to use GSXR based pipes. The engines on what would be the last of the GS750 incarnations were more compact than prior models. There are many similarities between the '83 and up 750 and the first couple of generations of GSXRs.
