You know, I talked with you via e-mail and PM a year or two about about this bike- the sabre tank I noticed, you have a thread on that bike so I don't have to cover old territorey? Frame, swingarm, sub frame, forks? Which rims?

That 380 picture shows exactly what my wife found a couple of years ago,only yours is in better condition. The Bassanni's do necessitate removing the center stand, adding to maintainance issues, but the do make power, and the sound of a well piped, triple cylinder two stroke is magic.
To add input to the original question, I have ridden with buffalos sporting 4 different brands of pipes, not including Ians Allspeeds, and the Bassannis are the quietest, and they all benefit from generous changes to the jetting.
They are fun!! Cheers.

I took the big C-clip out of one of my pipes just to see if the PO had them packed correctly. I didn't know there was a huge spring behind behind the end cap to keep the baffle from sliding back a ratteling. I settled at looking at one pipe. It is totally impossibe to compress that spring by hand and have enough hands left over to get the C-clip back in.
The bottom line is it took 2 guys, 2 days and the aid of a hydraulic press to get that miserable #*%/@**$ clip back in. Never again unless I absolutely have to.
