starting making a bassani like exhaust (pics)

[kochic]

Hi, i just started to make a bassani like exhaust for my 8V 1000.
I dont have a pipe bender, i only cut slots in a 3" exhaust tubing to make a template to have it bent localy.
I forgot to ask what radius they have but i will work with what they have.
The headers is a gs1000 bassani but after trying to find a rear portion with no luck i started mine.
The canister is a little more angled, my bike dosent have passenger pegs.

Edit: i cannot move the first pic out of the text i dont know how.

Marc, if your bosses find out you are doing all this welding at work you are going to get in trouble.
I hope the CB350 is not cutting into your GS time.

The cb dont cut the gs time, only the money.
Last weekend i was in your neigborhood spying bikes at the mosport vrra festival.
It was a great week end.
I will go to the pipe bender tuesday after work, if they can bend large radius it would be great.
The pipe will be mandrel bend.

I want those Marzocchi shocks. I think it would look real good on my bike.

Interesting project here. I'll watch.

The shocks where a find on ebay canada for 92$ shipped.The guy only listed the auction " 13" shocks suzuki honda", this set was under the radar.
You can watch for a set off a honda they fit and seem to be more common than the gs ones.
The only problem is that the "honda peoples" bid furiously.
I will have to weld a tab on the swingarm for the torque arm and some bracket for the pipe.
Its not a project only a exhaust change.

You're making your own exhaust. It's a project to me!
