FXR 2-into-1 stainless system
With FXRs staging a comeback as a hot niche,
Bassani has three new 'Road Rage' 2-into-1 designs
for the light, nimble and popular Big Twin that many
say Harley should never have canned.
There’s a "short, sassy and upswept" style, a straight
and slightly longer 2-into-1 system, especially suited
to the P and T models, and brand new and just
released, a full stainless 2-into-1 upswept 'Road
Rage' that’s been Tig-welded by hand and "screams
FXR cool."
Bassani say that the advantages of 2-into-1s is in the
way they build power, "lots of it", and that "these
three are no exception to that hard-and-fast rule.
Across the board, with all three systems, it starts with
equal-length/stepped-design head pipes, diameters
going from a 1 ¾-inch diameter into 1 7/8-inches.
"Joining together at the collector, those pipes empty
into a Bassani special design reverse cone muffler
featuring a black-fluted or brushed-billet end cap
and removable baffle. The upswept and straight
models are available in black or chrome finishes and
that new all-stainless system, with that same equallength/stepped-header design and upswept
reverse-cone muffler, is all business.
"Without any heat shields it’s proudly showing off
all that hand-Tig-welding. Those two shorter and
upswept systems mount a bit higher for increased
ground clearance, so nothing drags during the highspeed/high-lean action an FXR’s likely to see and, in
tune with the times (literally!), all three systems have
18mm O2 ports with 12mm adapters and plugs
included for precise wide-band dyno tuning.
"All these FXR systems, straight, upswept and that
new all-stainless version, work great, sound great,
mount easily and perform their 2-into-1 magic with
stock displacement engines, mildly tuned motors and
big-inch mega motors. They’re the pipes FXR riders
want, and the pipes they’re talking about on all the
social media sites."
Bassani say they are in stock and available from Drag
Specialties.
