Is this a Supertrapp pipe??

[slip]

your clutch cover is shiney as fudge!!!

Yeah, I put polished up with a little Blue Job!

Damned, I really ought to proof read my post.

I've never owned a ST pipe but that looks like it may be the main pipe without the muffler attachment with the discs on it.

no. Its NOT a supertrapp... The rear of the pipe would have holes for allen head bolts that hold the discs. Secondly, while it IS a nice looking pipe, Its chrome, supertrapps were either SS or alu cans with a steel header. Also, the welds at the collector look hideous. I dont think "trapp" would have done that. Its got a nice up kick to it tho, looks vintage. Slip, if you really want this Kerker i have, and it will need some cleaning up, no rust, but it will need some fresh black paint, I will trade you even up for that thing. I dont want a black pipe on this 750 when i get to putting it together, because everything else is polished up so i want a bling exhaust too..

I can get some. Its not in as good as shape as that Kerker i have tho. The head pipes have some rust goin, and the meg has some scuffs and stuff (mostly on the back side or underside from being cornered on too hard

The discs are held in by a long bolt with a flat hook on the end that goes in that plate at the back of the pipe. The end cover has one hole that holds the discs in place with a nut on the long bolt. The disc are the regular Strapp discs with all the holes for the small bolts. Ive had a chrome Supertrapp on a KZ1000 years ago so I know they made them, and it was made the same way. What you choose to believe is up to you I guess, Im just trying to help here. Il send someone the pics if you want.

Woodman, do you have the bolt and end cover???? I could just get disc anywhere. That setup makes sense. I had a Supertrapp on my XR650L, and I could adjust the flow with the amount of disc I used, so this would be cool.

[TheCafeKid]

Adjust the flow??? It doesnt work like that all that much man... Jeeeeez

What do you mean. That is the whole purpose of the Supertrapp disc system, adjustable flow. Besides, it would cover up that ugly bracket at the end of my pipe.

It will to a point, but if you think its going to make it BETTER that wide open, its not. IF you think its going to make it quieter than wide open, its not. If anything, it will be a little louder to YOU, and possibly more annoying on long rides... It will also NOT correct for an improper mix, so dont think that either.

Ok, I got your point. Actually, it does not sound bad like it is. But Cafe, do you have photos of the Kerker, I am still interested in the pipe.

[TheCafeKid]

I can get you some. I will try and get some up tomorrow man.

Thanks dude.

It's like trival performance pursuit: I am guessing your 4 into 1 exhaust is a S&S or a Kerker. The Kerker's have the exhaust clamp aft of the brake pedal right? I never owned one but I installed my Supertrapp 4/1 black on my 1000 back in 1982 and that ain't it.

PS: Hey Cafe, they were also produced in chrome with the standard megaphone, just double walled chrome as you stated. You never told what your investigation uncovered?

Really? Never ever ever seen one in chrome...I stand corrected.

Oh, yeah. The slip on i have you CANNONT (seemingly) remove the baffle from. I drilled out the rivet on the midpipe, pulled the can off and i just cannot see how it would come out of there..

[slip]

Yeah there is a clamp just past the foot peg. Wow, the mystery continues. What kinda pipe is this???? The pipe sounds good most of the time, but there is a certain small segment of the rev range to where it just does not sound good. I will usually downshift to get past it.
