Do 2001+ B12 headers "fit" on 1G bandits?

A guy on craigs is selling a set... if they fit, and he took a loooow price, I might bite.

you loose the center stand with a akro header, also you cant fit the oil filter out of the bike. if you change the oil you need to remove a oil line from the front or remove the headers to get the filter out!! i know my buddy had a full system on a 99 b12 and i did his maintence and oil changes pain in the butt. he also lost his center stand.

Yes!

You'll have the same issues Speedy mentioned though.

It doesn't sound like it would be worth the trouble to me. Unless it was dirt cheap, but I like my centerstand.

Coming from a long line of bikes with no centerstand to the Blandit, there's no freaking way I'm losing my centerstand.

And part of having the semi-naked bike meant having easier maintenance, not "an extra step" to do an oil change.

Thanks for the info guys.

full pipes that i know of that dont dump the center stand for the b-12.

holeshot full system, i know for sure. i think yoshi, and two brothers keep it. not sure about the rest. i have seen muzzy, think it keeps it also? sorry not much help. i went with the holeshot, slipon. i dont need to worry on my bike the oil filter is under the motor not up front. makes it real easy to get to. roamr has a scorpion pipe which is real nice also.
