Installing a Bassani 2-1 exhaust on a Harley Davidson bagger

- I pulled up a 2021 Street Glide and swapped out his stock exhaust for a new stainless steel Bassani Xhaust. The instill is simple and straight forward, and Bassani makes an exhaust that delivers the sound and power a rider wants.

I got a 2/1 Bassoni on my 21 RD Limited. Love the performance & look. Every HD I owned has had 2/1 pipes.
I really like a 2 into1. That one sounds Great! Bassani makes good stuff.
I love the way you explain things, I think you must have had a good example growing up 😁
Actually, I'll never forget how impressed Mrs. Reyes was with the way you explained things back in K.
You're just awesome and I'm so very proud 👏
Thanks mom. It’s a lot easier for me to show than it is for me to tell. But it’s fun
Thanks gil love the instructional videos and tips you explain the process well and you always give tips so we don't mess things up. Its easy to forget to record lol. Thanks for the knowledge
And what did you use to wipe the exhaust down before you put on the heat shields
Thanks for watching! Your words are encouraging. I use SpytShyne on everything. They offer a lot of great products for cleaning and waxing. You can go to @Spytshynewaxcorp on Instagram and check out their full line of products. I also did a video on some of their stuff a while back
I have this on my 2020 SGS with a stage 2 kit and it sounds awesome.
It’s a great exhaust! This customer is actually coming back to me for a cam install to give it that little bit extra
Nice man. Good to see you getting more content out and keeping bikes moving.
One thing to add, if you'll copper crush washers on the bung plugs you'll greatly reduce the chance of leaks and/or the plugs backing out.
Thanks man! I’ll order some up. That bike is coming back to me for a cam, I can sneak em on there lol
@@GilstrapGarage anytime.
Lol nice, guess he couldn't handle all his buddies having the thump thump.
@@crackerjack42685 the thump and the power 🤣
Thanks for the video. Great content! Hilarious when you found the aftermarket jack in the box. “Uh-oh!” Hahaha.
Lol man, I hate when I find stuff like that 🤣Thanks for watching
Great freaking video 🖤🙏🏾✊🏾
Thank you 🙌
Damn...I was hoping to see what kind of trick you were doing to install the gaskets. Getting ready to put a Bassani 2 into 1 on my 12 Road King, going to be the 3rd exhaust I installed on this bike and the front gasket is always a pain in the ass. Sounds good though.
Thank you! Awesome video! Oh....., also, can you tell me where did you get the banner on the wall in the background?
I got that from the Laughlin River Rally outside one of the hotel parking lots 🤣
I have a 22 RG 107, can’t wait to put a Bassani 2-1 on her. Had one on my 18 FatBob 114 and it was killer. Hate the sewing machine sound lol
Fast forward, I bought a used Bassani pipe, and it’s in great shape. The guy I bought it from said there is no bracket for the cone to attach to the frame. Just the head stud bolts, and where the cone itself bolts to under the saddlebags. Is that correct? If not I don’t want to start this project on this long weekend and come to find out I need a bracket, and now I’m fucked
Hey nice Street Glide man. I sold my bike earlier this year and got the itch again to get another bike specifically a Harley bagger. I've always loved the look of the Street Glide. I wanted to know do you regret getting the standard over the special? Becasue honestly I think the special is over hyped. You still get that harley sound with the basic version.
This is a customers bike, brotha! The standard is still waaay nicer than anything I’m rolling at the moment 🤣
How did you get the 02 sensors to reach? Mine aren’t long enough now
Great install video!!! ...any thoughts on deleting those heat shields and runnin' them raw???
When I had a stainless pipe I ran it without heat shields and I destroyed every pair of pants I owned 🤣
But it looks cool
😂
What did you edit out at 17:24? Did you have to reposition or remove the exhaust and try again? I have the same exhaust on my Ultra, & the pipes are a real challenge to line up to the ports.
Taking the time to line them up is all that was edited out, probably. It’s been so long it’s hard to remember. I also have to edit out a lot of interruptions from my kids and stuff 🤣
Did that bike have airride on rear?
Torque specs on trans bolts?
In your experience, would that exhaust fit on a Road Glide (2016) that has 14" suspension in the rear? I've heard that the axle nut could hit the muffler even with a mid pipe system.
To be honest with you man, I haven’t installed a 2-1 on a twin cam bagger, but with 14” shocks you might be more likely to hit the bottom shock mount bolt than the axle nut. After I did the pipe for this guy he installed a crazy air ride set up on it and didn’t use the correct bolts, so the bottom one hit the top of his pipe when he aired it all the way up. It would probably be a safer bet to call the manufacturer and ask for someone’s opinion on the tallest shocks you could run with whatever pipe you want.
@@GilstrapGarage I appreciate the response. I wanted to make an informed decision before pulling the trigger on an expensive exhaust only to have clearance issues. I ended up going with a Trask Assault straight exhaust for the Twin Cam. It'll probably show up before my RWD shocks do at this rate.
I noticed you said using the original hardware for the bracket will strip the hole. If you did use the original hardware for the bracket, does it immediately strip the hole ?
If it didn’t bottom out in the case, then you will probably be okay
What wheel chock is that? I see the bike is up there sturdy without being strapped down.
I picked it up off of EBay, I don’t remember the brand name. But holds touring and fat tire softails without straps. But other bikes definitely need to be tied down
Did it come with the gaskets or did you have to purchase new ones? Also, what’s the tool you used to pull them out?
I had to purchase new ones. The only exhaust I’ve ever purchased that came with gaskets was D&D. But I use a small o-ring pick to grab underneath the gasket and pull it out
Ah ok, cool. Thanks for the quick response and the detailed video.
I have a 2002 ultra classic I want to put a similar exhaust on do I have to get my bike tuned after I put the exhaust on?
Yeah it’s always good to get it tuned. Otherwise your air:fuel could be pretty far off
Does the exhaust heat burn your pannier?? if you slowly ride in the city?
I haven’t seen it happen to anyone running a shorty exhaust yet, but I imagine it could happen. I’ve noticed my luggage slightly warmer than normal sometimes on my dyna and I run a full length exhaust
Did you have to flex the pipe at all I’m putting this same one on my 2006 ultra classic
Nope, bolt on and rip!
Just installed this exhaust the flanges won’t sit completely flush I just don’t understand what is wrong maybe I’m using the wrong gaskets? I bought a new pair of OEM tapered. I even bought New c clips since the old ones got super bent. I don’t think I feel a leak but they’re not sitting flush one night is way more time than the other one.
You can get the flat style gaskets rather than the tapered style. But as long as they seal and you get get them torqued properly, they don’t necessarily have to be flush with the heads.
@@GilstrapGarage bassani said it won’t sit perfectly flush :) but my issue is the one nut when I try torque it to spec 120 ft lbs it keeps spinning but not getting tighter I’m scared to strip the stud
@@GilstrapGarage i even tried a spare nut and the same thing. Is 120 too much?
Why didn't you put the muffler clamp toward the inside with the bolt and nut? That way you would not be able to see them at all.
I couldn’t clear it without it being angled.
@@GilstrapGarage Hmmm. I run my Harley clamps like that. They are not in the way of anything. Must be smaller.
Was it a big difference in sound?
Ohh yeah, Huge. I have another video of this bike from a cam install, there is a good sound clip in thete
What is the torque spec for the head stud nuts
I don’t remember off hand, but it is something like 60-80 inch pounds
Can hardly hear what he's saying need to bring up the volume
