bonnie pipes same as thruxton?

I'm still looking for a replacement for my left header pipe...there's a set of Thruxton headers on eBay right now. Are the header pipes the same as on an 865 Bonnie?

Thanks,
jeff

I checked that as well, but I couldn't see a difference in the schematic picture of each, which is why I asked here.

Jeff compare these two pics one of a Bonnie the other a Thruxton - note where the pipe bends up into the silencer, on the Thrux it is slightly further back

The bends are different. They would fit the bike itself but have bends for thruxton mufflers. No dice unless you have thruxton or made for thruxton cans.

I see it now. Thanks for the pic references.

Ah well, it was worth a shot. Looks like I'm gonna give up the $290 for a new pipe.
