Took Bassani headers off. . . .
I had the Bassani power curve headers on my Road King for a couple of years and I was very happy with the sound, especially with the Hooker mufflers. However, my torque wasn't very impressive.
Wasn't all the pipes fault, but with the help of this forum, I followed the suggestions to the "T" and I got the Road King up to being a very happy scoooter. However, the one item that was suggested was to take the Bassoni headers off and go back to the stock header pipes. I decided to give it a try a couple of weeks ago and I replaced the headers with the original headers and put the Hookers back on with the left side set to torque and the right side set to power.
I can say that the bottom end torque noticiably increased and the bike is running better than ever, at least with the carb, cam setup etc... that I have. Just my two cents worth. I'll be selling the Bassani headers.
Flatline.
