header pipes - bagelboy - 01-04-2012
Are the header pipes on the 1200 interchangable on all years.
Re: header pipes - unionjack - 01-04-2012
Now don't quote me here, but I think there are different shaped gaskets/header pipes at the headers, the earlier ones were rounder, and the later years more oblong?

There is a possibility they might.
here are the micro's
Re: header pipes - neoracer - 01-04-2012
pretty much think they'll work biggest thing i see is all the little attachment pieces for the shrouding around the pipes are somewhat different between some years
Re: header pipes - admin - 01-04-2012
From my experience the only differences are how the header pipes dump into the collector, 86-87 have a more streamlined flow into the collector to improve scavenging. Either front pipes will interchange on all years and both use the same muffler
Re: header pipes - bagelboy - 01-04-2012
OK, thanks guys. I happen to see a nice pair on ebay, but they were listed for an 84-85 GL1200. So that got me to thinking. I always assumed that the headers fit all 4 years!
Re: header pipes - unionjack - 01-04-2012
I just looked up the header gaskets online and they show the same part # for all years.
Re: header pipes - 1060dsl - 01-05-2012

Part # = 18350-MG9-901
Part Description = BODY, MUFFLER - (replaces 18350-MG9-003)
