Bassani Superbike Header for Z-1

I had one of these in 1980 on my MKII. Can anyone find one of these. The pipe rode high and was a very large diameter and stayed the same from the collector to the end!
Doug :silly:

They appear infrequently on eBay...I picked one up two or three years ago for a very reasonable cost...still looking for a baffle for it.

they dont make them any more, but a member or 2 here, has 1. u will most likely have to ask at all the forums or watch for 1 on ebay.

Michael this should look familiar.

My buddy Tony's GS1100 with Bassani pipe:

I bought one for the 1000 build, but currently have it on my 900. Sounds Great and really woke the bike up. Only pipe I ever had that I liked better was my Yosi back in the day!

I don't see them come up very often, kinda rare these days to see one offered for sale.
They are nice pipes, and I like mine a lot .
There is a story on a red '78 KZ with a modified Bassani Superbike pipe on it that is more upswept than the production Bassani like on my '78.

I believe you're thinking of the Yoshimura pipe that stays the same dia. from the collector to the end. The Bassani rides higher than the Yosh, but steps up to a larger dia. about 16" past the collector.

Yoshimura

Yeah, the one on the right is the one I had! If anyone finds one for sale like that, please let me know at: hunt4freeh@yahoo.com
Thanks, Doug

Now that is what I remember on the orange bike. I blew my baffle out at the drag strip in El Paso. I thought it say higher but that is the same pipe! If anyone finds one for sale let me know at: hunt4freeh@yahoo.com
Thanks, Doug

I have a brand new one for a 1978 KZ1000, unused. If you REALLY want one let me know. I paid a lot for it and won't sell it for a loss.

I have one laying around in my garage, its not in great shape or anything, the front was black & the rear was chrome when I bought it new in 88, so I had the front powder coated silver to match the chrome rear, after having it on my bike till 2010 the chrome started peeling & it has a couple of tiny rust holes on the bottom of the canister & a small ding on one of the down pipes....Ive been keeping it around, thinking of braising the pinholes, as they are on the bottom & it wont show, & then powder coating or painting the whole thing black...in my opinion it was the best sounding pipe, or a close tie to a yosh...it just sucked when it was time for an oil change.
