That is what the PO told me anyways. But it doesn't have a name plate, so I am not sure.

Nope...never seen one like that though. SuperTrapp's have a set of diffuser discs that force the exhaust out around the edges, and a block off plate at the end. There is no visible "hole" into the exhaust unless you pull all of that stuff off the end. and then its pretty much just straight thru.
 
I agree too . . . Although someone added that Trapp horizontal plate to the baffle opening for some reason. Go figure

Cafe, what do you want to sell your V&H meg for????:D
 
Well its not a supertrapp, but what is it then? I have never seen an exhaust like that on a GS before.
 
If you don't like how it sounds, repack it

And it's not a Supertrapp
 
I have a pipe like that and theres a rod that goes in that plate in the end of the muffler that holds the discs on with a nut on the end of the closed cap. I dont know if its a very early Supertrapp or a home made conversion. The discs only have 1 hole in the center as does the end cap. The collector has major road rash but the header pipe is good. Theres no name on it anywhere
 
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.
 
I dug it out & found everything but the bolt that goes in the plate. The discs are regular Supertrapp discs I remembered wrong. The end cap has 1 hole and there were 18 discs in it. I took some cell phone pics if anyone wants to see them. I dont know how to post them but if you send me an email address Ill send them to you. Its not home made, it was built that way as far as I can tell. It is the muffler not the main pipe. The rest is all built into the header. Thers another internal baffle but no packing that I can see

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 :o
 
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.
