Hi,
I am new to this forum. Need a little help deciding on which Bassani muffler cut for my RG. Does anyone have a pic with the straight cut mufflers on a bagger?
Thanks

Welcome-Dont have a pic-But had the slip ons on my King-Looked like bazookas(large diameter and stuck out alot) You can see them here:

Note: They look much larger in person! Jpcycles is where I got them-Was good place to do biz.

Yea, I already saw that pic. Was looking for a more real life angle. Along with what you said, marketing pics can be deceptive. I am looking for the sticking way out look, but wondering in the large diameter puts em "over the top". Do you really like the look on yours? Any body else got a pic on their bike?

gilroy,

I'm having the same problem finding real life pics of the 4 styles before I decide which pipe cut to buy.....I tried this link but it's still not what I want to see >>>

Also, follow this link >>

and click on "used bikes" it's the 7th bike down and it's marked SOLD....it's a black 2003 ELECTRA GLIDEĀ® STANDARD....it has the pipes you want....I saw that bike and heard them and that's why I'm going with bassani....the pipes do stick out about 3 inches...they are super bad ass

also check out Flash1 gallery on bassani pipes and his post under Exhaust forum called "Nasty Bassanis"

post if you find any more pics.....

Gilroy-just my but I returned mine not that they are bad pipes but like you said I thought they were over the top. They were too pronounced for my taste in looks and while they had awesome sound you cant hear them on your bike unless you turn your head to listen. I wanted more volume than that.

tom, they let you return them after installation?

January 5, 2005

Yep! I was pleasantly surprised too! Just cost me to ship back.

tom,

cool, that's my kind of place....at most places you own it if you even open the box

That is cool. Only issue for me is I want the high flow baffle and I don't think J&P sells them with that baffle. Thats makes me want to see a real bike pic even more. Tough decision. My other choice is the slash cut that flows with the angle of the bags. I have seen some good pics of those and they do look nice. You want to make the right choice for $$$$ they cost. Somebody find me a pic pretty please!

Wholehog,
That is a very good pic on the E-Glide. Good enough to make me really not sure.

Anybody know if the slash cuts are as long as the straight cut. From most pics the strait cuts appear to be longer.

January 5, 2005

the mufflers are all 32" long to the tip and extend 3" beyond the fender >>> baloney/slash/slant all appear shorter than straight cut because of the angle....all are same length and 4" dia which is same dia as stock muffler except that they dont taper down

if you want the ones angled with the bags, then look at the gallery for Flash 1....it's the silver RK that he rebuilt.....picture is at

Biker Connection in IND, IN has the best prices......Bassani has an east and west distribution channel

Thanks, I thought that was the case. I have pretty much ruled out the strait cut. It's gonna be slice or slash. The more I look at the slice cut, the more I like them also. Amazingly frustrating.
