Your bike will be fuel injected but the 2005 one might not be and so the exhaust might not have the threaded hole for the lambda sensor.

If not, you'd have to get one tapped which might put you off.

But apart from that, I think it should physically fit.

cheers chris , ive already drilled the back plates on my standard pipes and smacked a rod down the centre , it sounds better than before but im really envious when you hear the same bike with aftermarkets on with the baffles out

Yes they will fit.
If they do not have Lambda sensor bosses fitted and you want them then you can buy the bosses for only a few quid and have them fitted.
If however they do not have bosses fitted that take the sensors, you can use them without the sensors fitted. You can cut and seal off a wire that attaches to the ECU to turn off the FI warning light that will become illuminated or fit O2 sensor eliminators which do the same thing.
The O2 sensors are there solely for the purpose of EU emissions and actually reduce power marginally in the first section of throttle position by running the already lean running motor in an even leaner state.

great thanks for the info , ill send pics when ive got them fitted thanks again

I had a lamda sensor boss drilled into my new exhausts so the sensor could be fitted, I have since had an eliminater fitted to disable the sensor, either way works fine.

I was suprised that Mr I didn't say as he was the first to do it on this site but if you cut the wire at the ecu instead of fitting sensor eliminators you cut wire number 23

I just wanted to give a quick response Crash, I could have written loads on the pro's and con's but I am weary of overloading info where its not at present required.

There is usually many ways around the same issue, as in this case.

Fair point
