If only....
They are really wonderful, but I have not seen on eBay or elsewhere.
Sometimes, some Contis pop up, but the Giocamoto :,( :,( :,( :,( :,(

I have one on the shelf that I bought several year ago, but never installed, and probably won't in the next 10 years, so I should probably sell it. I don't remember the condition, but give me a few days to get to it, and I'll let you know how much for the rare Italian musical instrument. I think I bought it just to sell to you, but also because it was just so cool. I have a second set of the headers on my bike now, with a Suppertrapp silencer on it, as you can barely see in my avatar.

Cheers,
Phil

Is your exhaust for the Sport or the Paso?

Thanks Phil...you have the Gia,Co.Moto or those small can Conti's
Are they the 2-1 or the 2-2...I have seen pics of both...It would be going on a stock 88 Paso 750...
Your avatar looks like a 1990 900SS...Have you seen any of these in the USA?

I have two GioCaMoto exhaust systems. The one on the Sport came with the bike and didn't have the back half of the system, so I had to improvise with a long SupperTrapp from a Harley. The one on the shelf is for a Paso, but I had assumed I could get it to fit the Sport. They are both 2 into 1 headers, 40mm header pipes with a 50mm pipe exiting the collector. The one on the Sport shows lots of "corrections" on the rear pipe near the head, so I assume that it was a Paso system that was modified to fit the Sport. (lots of little sections added) The Paso system on the shelf doesn't show the added bits at all, just nice smooth bends.

My bike is a California sold 750 Sport, but I bought a set of the 900 SS body work from Britain. Yes, shipping costs were high, but the parts were reasonable, and in good shape. Since I have done almost everything else to mimic a 900, I decided to complete the transformation and bought a 900 motor that I'll be putting in this winter. So, the GioCaMoto exhaust won't fit, and I already have several options on the shelf in garage. (e-bay addiction had been cured by lack of space) I'll be using the current GiaCaMoto header on my project bike with silencer from a 1098 cored out.

Cheers,

I have uncovered the exhaust and have taken some photos. Send me a PM with your e-mail address so I can send you photos.
Here is my attempt to put photos in a post.


Cheers,
Phil

After considering the pile of exhaust options that I have in the garage, I decided I don't need the GioCaMoto exhaust. Maybe one of you want to put this on your 750. Its not particularly pretty, but it is complete, and can be made beautiful by the right person. Of course, it went out of production shortly after it was introduced 20+ years ago now. Nothing quite like it.

I have a full Gia Ca Moto 2-1 on my 750 paso. It was on the bike when I bought it.
It is the best sounding bike/exhaust system I have ever heard. Loud but inoffensive so my neighbors dont complain.

I also have always thought the GIO.CA.MOTO is the best looking and sounding exhaust ever built for our bikes.
I have never had the chance to have it, so I have had to
"fall back" on the Contis...
Not so bad, however :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
