Title: RIP Darryl Bassani
Post by: SoCal250 on February 12, 2024, 11:06:27 PM
Just saw this on Cycle News (https://magazine.cyclenews.com/i/1515845-cycle-news-2024-issue-06-february-13/20)
I have his stainless cat-back system on my SVT Lightning truck. Awesome exhaust! I don't have any of his two-stroke pipes in my stash though.

I had seen his exhausts on bikes in pictures and ebay and always heard good words and praise for them!!!

And now days I guess its impossible to get one even used : (

I may have a set for an RD400 for sale soon, shipping may be too much for my prospective buyer..

I know that this isn't 2 stroke oriented but...

Here's a pic of a hand bent Bassani that's on an old Cycle Tune track bike.

Halcyon days indeed.

My guess, too. Honda wheel, rotor and caliper; frame makes me think DOHC CB.

you're right, didnt even notice the caliper...its pretty wild w the relocated shocks. I had a dohc 750,an 81. it was a pig. (1st bike actually). man that thing was hateful to live with.

Mr. Bassani I have several sets of your pipes!  Used to have a 4 into 1 for a KZ1000, new in the box and sold it to a friend.

I don't know the year but it's my Brother's bike. I found him a set of 33mm mikuni smoothbores to go on it
and I'd really love to hear that bassani "basso profundo" once again in my lifetime.

Mr. Hawaii Mike: The sound of liter+ kawi's into a bassani was like barry white singing cannibal corpse. Freakin' awesome... Do you still have any left?
