Fifer Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Hi, would anyone be able to help identify the manufacturer of these Bandit 1200 4-2-1 headers please, think they could be Arrow or Micron but unable to find a match on the internet, they have the balance pipes between 1&2 and 3&4 . Thanks!! Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Unusual to have a 4-2-1 configuration on a Bandit and they don't fit the sump ! More likely GSXR? Maker? - not a scooby doo. Quote Link to comment
Fifer Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 The lad i bought them off had them fitted to a Bandit 1200 but they could well be from a GSXR1100 and the sump was swapped, he didn't know the history of it. The problem is that it came the wrong link pipe fitted, it is not a tight fit as a good aftermarket system should be and doesn't have a clip to attach the spring. The connection at the header measures 51.50mm ID and OD is 53.75mm. If i could find out the maker of the header i could maybe source the correct linkpipe! Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Does it fit with a B12 sump? The reason I ask is I have a Blandit 12 Akrapovic and that's 4-2-1 on loan from Bluedog59. It 's not a GSXR pipe because it fits with a Blandit sump and looks similar to the one in the pics although it does not have any links between the outer pairs of downpipes. Is the one in question really light (almost titanium light) and does it have detachable stubs where the flanges bolt on the head that the downpipes slot over?

Fifer Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Yes, i have a B12 Akrapovic 4-2-1 on one of my bandits but it's different to this one, i have started to give it a bit of a clean to see what it looks like underneath, very light, could well be titanium? the stubs are detachable yes, looks like a well made thing under all the grot. 1 Quote Link to comment
Fazz711 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 They look like a set of micron pipes I have on a 7/11 Quote Link to comment

Fifer Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 I think Micron could be correct, the Micron Zeta system seems to be the closest to the set i have. Now to try and track down a suitable link pipe! Quote Link to comment

Fazz711 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Finally found them. Sorry for the delay. Mine don't have the link pipes so may not be the same. Quote Link to comment
