K1-K3 headers

[Venom]

Is that true K1-K3 1000 headers will fit 1100 (N) ?

[SiBag]

Yes.

But you will have to give them a tweak. Spacing between the down pipes is different, so you have to pull them out.

And they sit a little low, so they need bending up under the sump. A blow torches, a car jack and some swearing and ya sorted.

There should be loads on here about doing it.

Worth it just to get rid of the mild steel scrap collector thats designed to rot out and split the serviceable stainless exhaust in 2.

[boilerdude]

so an aftermarket gsxr header would work too then yes??

I have a GSXR1100 Akrapovic system on my B12 engined GS, fits very well, just hangs a little low for some folk! but that is due to the adapters needed for my frame clearance, you shouldnt have that problem with a stock engine in a stock frame

gsxr 1000 exhaust this thread is about. Yes we all know a gsxr1100 exhaust fits. this is about spreading apart the spacing and retrofitting gsxr ONE THOUSAND headers on a bandit. ONE THOUSAND. 

Hence the K1, K2, K3

calm your tits

[boilerdude]

Yea I didn't mean to come off too prickish. Just keeping the train on the rails thats all. 

[boilerdude]

actually that was useful information irregardless. If a gsxr 1000 exhaust hangs low on an 1100. And a gsxr 1100 exhaust hangs low on a bandit. Then a gsxr 1000 exhaust on a bandit should hang really really low. That is good information to have.

Erm no 

Look at the pic, he has about an inch to 2 inches of extra pipe where it fits to the motor.

You can get the thou headers quite tight to the dump with a bit of effort.

I took the easy way out. Talked with a buddy of mine who just so happens to have an extra b12 yosh header. I just swapped the 750m carbs on my bandit. I'm trading him my old bandit carbs..

[boilerdude]

also yes I see now. thats a gs1000 I overread that part. And I see those little extenders he's got there.

My old 7/11 with gsxr 1000 downpies, we couldn't make them fit by bending so a mate cut and shut them.. weigh fek all
