Supertrapp etc.
05/01/08 at 16:34:54

My local rapist (dealer) quoted me $334 bucks for a Supertrapp slip on. I had to say no, hoping someone on here can recommend a better place to buy parts.

Any ideas?

And I did have to let him take me for $80 for a new shift linkage. I feel I paid my dues for that one. I'd rather take my business elsewhere. And yes I understand they're a dealer and have to make money some way, but come on.

So guys, what do you say you help out the new guy!

1. Where to get a Supertrapp
2. Where to get genuine Suzi parts without going through the dealer

I'm grateful to be a member of this board. Thanks so much.

Parts in general are cheaper on line. What you pay extra for is to get them immediately. And if he don't have them, don't buy from him.

There's been a number of super's available used here, but you have to be patient. And for new, that's not to bad, last time I looked it was $285 new, plus shipping that's pretty close.

Thanks for the advise. I lost the use of my hands due to a form of Parkinson's Disease so I want true bolt-on parts. I do like the looks of the Hog mufflers, I just can't do any fab work. I can't really hold tools very well anymore.

I'm getting the arm gear assembly, the rod, and gear lever assembly.

The rod was bent all out of shape when I got the bike and I couldn't adjust the gear lever position. Then when I tried to just replace the rod link, if broke off inside the socket part whatever it's called. I went to the dealer and just told him I wanted it to be fixed right. This should do the trick. Total cost $84 bucks and that's doing the work myself.

Neither are tunable like the Trapp, but there are true bolt -on applications. I have the MAC on my bike currently and I just got a spankin' new Jardine from ebay for about $100. Patience is the key.

Best mod on my bike I have ever done was put a SuperTrapp on it.

Loudest pipe you will ever find, unless you run straight headers. Grin

Hm. I bought mine..and it was a little over $200.

I would suggest not paying over $260. I really wish I could upload a sound file, but I haven't been able to find anything that could record how loud it is without the baffle.

I rev, and baby angels fall from the sky! Wink

Ahahah. Yes, that's me! Well, at least it keeps people off my tushy when I ride to work. I don't get tailgaters anymore. That, and when I ride alone, I always keep my headlight modulator on so I'm seen and heard.

It's just hard to believe that screwing on a disk onto a muffler can give you a softer muffler without sacrificing power...

You add disks for a freer flowing muff and it'll increase sound too. If you don't rejet, it'll go lean on you. Rejetting is where your power comes from.

The 99 I bought a couple of weeks ago came with a SuperTrapp installed, and from what I can tell it seems to be jetted right for it (No WOT top speed run yet on that bike due to weather cracked tires).

I will say this for the 'trapp pipe: I prefer the sound of it to either Harley muffler I have installed, or the pretty much straight through bologna turnout that is much louder. The Supertrapp just has a good healthy note to it without being obnoxiously loud. (Mine looks to have a half dozen discs and a cover disc over the end. I'd have to say the trapp is my favorite sounding pipe of the ones I've had installed. And performance wise I think it may add a little pull in the mid to upper RPM range without degrading the bottom end grunt noticeably. Cool
