Suzuki 2 Strokes

Hi .
I have the chance to purchase a set of used Bassini expansion chambers for my Gt750.
Has anyone used these pipes , are they loud , can the mufflers be repacked, and what do they fit like.?
Your thoughts.

Well the Bassani gurus might give you a lot more information than i can but all the ones i saw for enduro bikes back in the 70s/80s had repackable rear baffle units and were quite loud compared to the stock system.
How three of these units would sound all together would be interesting for sure.

I had a set on my 76 GT750 and I did not think them very loud. They can be repacked as they have removable bafflels.

I love the look of those, with the long stinger / silencer sections

I have a Bassani for my 2-stroke Honda 250 single, but haven't installed it so I can't comment on sound, but it has a large C-clip that retains a removable baffle wrapped with fiberglass-like sound deadening material. It will be louder than stock.

I had some Bassoni's for an RD400, unpacked they were pretty loud. Packed they sounded like two stroke chambers (which are a bit loud in comparison to stock exhausts but they are what they are).

For what its worth I liked them alot on the RD. Arne

Zook...that sure is some fairing...looks like it could break som serious wind

That is a BMW R90S fairing with a larger bubble and airdam on the windscreen. Blocked a lot of wind.

These pipes are Bassani's on my GTX-R but i cut off the extra 3 ft of baffle and put on regular baffles .

Back to VintageKiwi's question: Are they loud and can the replacement baffles (whatever brand they are) be repacked?

They are louder as are most chambers and yes the baffles are rebuildable .

The ones on my 550 are identical, but they don't have those short stinger tips.

Ed, if you ever decide you'd like to sell those pipes, I would still be very, very interested. They look superb.

cheers, Craig

That is one nice 550. I hope mine turns out as nice.
