Very cool Marty.... I love the bitchen ripping sound of the Supertrapp system. My favorite.
Question: Can you still use your chin fairing with the Supertrapp?

A word of caution: It looks like you have some torsion (twisting force) on your left oil cooler line.
You need to relax that line.
AN fittings do not like that very much....oil leaks can ruin your mojo... Cheers!   Pat

Guys, thanks for the kudos.

Pat, I rode the bike a little over an hour after the installs were completed. The SuperTrapp sounds good, and it's quieter (it came with six diffusor discs on it) than the Vance and Hines it replaced. I don't know about the chin fairing's fit. The one that came with the bike, was missing the mounting extension "ear" on drive side. Pretty sure that the clutch slave's brake fluid leaking on it caused it to weaken, crack and part ways when the PO had it. I took off, and I haven't fixed it yet. Thanks for the heads up on the cooler's line twist, I'll look into it.
