yea, but you'll need an adapter to accomodate the difference in the bore

most exhaust garages will be able to fit it for you

the 1.2 backbox will be a matter of mm's bigger than your 12V exhaust system.

So, you have two options that i can think of:

1. Buy and fit an adaptor pipe (not t0o sure where from)

or

2. Cut an extra slot on the end of the backbox pipe. So when you tighten the U-bolt, the pipe will tighten further, hence decreasing the bore size, this is the method i have used for my 12V and have had no problems, leaks etc..

I didi the same except my back box was off a 1.4 simply cut two more slits into the pipe so it all nipped up. Worked a treat.
One word of advise though use a U bolt coz u can get a tighter hold, unlike with the bad.Also make sure ya postion ya u bolt in the right place or it will bang on the rear axle on Big bumps especially if ya moto is lowered
