I would guess the gaskets would be the same.  Try Bike Bandit online, look at illustrated parts breakout and compare part numbers, or call you local dealer.

The oil burners had to do with defective pistons.  The holes for oil ring were too big on run of Bandits.  All covered under factory service bulletin.
