Possible Bassani exhaust source; Who's interested?

[jwhelan65]

I'm in Russ when the time comes....not sure what I'll put it on... Give me an excuse to look for something.

How is the Kat project coming along?

Bassani made sweet, serious superbike pipes back in the '80s.
Smooth bends, large diameter collectors, no centerstand or oil-drain access.
Huge, barky baffles. AFAIK, all of them were Kal-Gard flat black finish.
Rare as hen's teeth these days.

I believe they are still in business, but focused on the V-8 performance market now.

Sounds like my Yoshi. I'm putting some satin black cedramic paint on it too.

Count me in for one also. I sure liked the Bassani I had on my S. I'd be curious to know if the guy still has the blue name tags. I always thought that was a nice touch.

I'm with you on the tag. I'm still kicking myself for not buying the one that came up on ebay a couple months ago. Saw it when it first got listed one evening and thought "Oh I'll buy it in the morning". Of course gone in the morning. Snooze you lose.

Joe the Kat project got bad news last night. I'll give you a call later and tell you about it. It's a cluster****. Let's just say the PO left part of a blue shop rag in the motor when he opened it up........ I'll right up a post about it later.

+1 if the cost is in line.

I'm running a stock exhaust on my Skunk for now but would'nt mind hearing a little rumble.

That's the one. After the auction I contacted the seller and he's the one that first gave me the number for this guy we're talking about that can make the Bassani's.

+1 here.....

Just to be clear in case you missed the earlier post guys: I talked to the guy who can make the exhausts and he is busy with a supercross team at the moment and has no time. I will contact him once the season is over and see if we can make it worth his time and effort. Looks as though we can get a pretty good order together so we'll see.......

Have you considered contacting bassani direct? Maybe still have the specs and tooling to make some exhaust.

I talked to a bassani rep at the sema show in vegas a couple of years ago he said they had sold jigs and parts to a guy in arizona.
