exhaust header question

[fantom]

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible mounting a 2005 header of a 12xb buell on a 2009 xb buell?
I'm from Europe ( Italy) and so are the bikes.
Thanks

I don't believe so. I think that there ate two O2 sensors in the '10 header for better air fuel ratios. Check and see, but if you own a '10 that will tell you, an '05 has only on O2 bung.

Is the 12 headers bigger than the one on the 9?

My bike has only one sensor, like all the others buells.
I believe that the only think that can give my hard time is the space between the oil pump on the right side and the header of the rear cilinder; However if I bent a little the header should be ok...

yes you can, but you'll have to adjust fuel ratio, otherwise your bike will run like crap.

Thanks LeFox, I have a pro series ecm so I should be ok about fuel ratio.
Once I install it I'll let you know.

what exhaust do you have?

keep in mind what kind of ecm you have, if it's for a 2009 it will be calculated for a system with catalyst, which you will remove by changing the headers.

I have a ecm from ebracing, that is made for a jardine exhaust sistem.
However, the catalyser is not in the header, but at the collar of the drummer itself.
I knkow that becouse I manage to remouve it.
At the moment I have the original drummer,(without the catalyser, that here we call a "bee's net"), but shortly I will buy a jardine exhaust.
