harleyg, it looks like there are at least three late/new century Sportster exhaust configurations according to Rush:

'92-'03
'04-'08
'09-present

...so it looks like no, the slips ons off the '05 won't fit your '12. Was there a change in the location/size of the crossover or mounting holes? 'Beats me but there has to be a reason that there's a distinction between them or else they wouldn't offer them both seperately...

=8^)

No. There are no O2 sensor bungs in it.

Edit: Sorry, didn't see the "slip-ons" part. The slip ons should be universal 04+, but for a full pipe it's as DrewBone said because of O2 sensors.

Slip-ons from an 05 will work on any 04+ bike so yes they will fit.

harleyg, my apologies, it seems I wasn't thorough enough...HD says one thing, Rush another, but Cycle Shacks and V&H agree?! Sigh.
