what'r these?

Pretty pipes?

I'd like to see them on a bike . . . .

Don

I believe they're for a Benelli. I'd like to know more about them.

So, where are they, in your garden shed?

"Looks" like they were patterned by MAGNI George.....

Thank you Larry, found what I wanted.

Arturo Magni. Worked for MV Agusta. When MV quit making bikes, Arturo collected all the left overs in the factory and started to manufacture his own bikes. The MAGNI. Some MV based, some Honda based, some BMW based and some Moto Guzzi based. He built his own exhaust. Does anyone know how to get hold of him or his company?

Here George, I hope your Italian is good....

same as these ?

Those are probably original equipment pipes. It looks like Magni did make pipes for that bike though. I figure the pipes for the MV Agusta 750 would flow sufficiently. If you cut off two cylinders from the CBX you'd have a 700cc 4 cyl. Now I just need to find 6 curved megaphones for a 750 MV Agusta and fit them to a CBX. Looks like the passenger footpeg would be a clearance problem though. My wire wheeled CBX doesn't have stock peg brackets and has lots of clearance.

I am lost again.... Why in the world would you want headers from one of the most expensive classic bikes of the 70s (which was a 4-cylinder) to fit on a CBX Just because someone made a 6 into 6 for one of their racebikes? Can you imagine how much 6 headers for a 750 MV Agusta will set you back?

With the dollar exchange rate for dollars vs Italian money (lira?) couldn't I trade a few good bottles of California wine for them?

Unfortunately, there is no Lira anymore. Italy also has the Euro. And they really took advantage of it. In order to make it easy for everybody, they just slashed three digits off their prices and put a Euro sign in front of them. Everything went up by 80%.
They may also argue with you about the term "good bottles of California wine"

But seriously, what is your plan with these exhausts?

I just think they're pretty. They look like they influenced Andreas when he built his ASG Special.



I'll ask him when he returns from Argentina.
