HARTLESS

June 10, 2013, 07:10:12 PM
just a little excited so I wanted to show you guys. sold my 550 vision to a buddy of mine and it had small supertrapp slip-ons and he took them off. got to thinking and well, I traded a set of hyabusa silencers I had for them (got them for $20). they work pretty good and there is only one small problem..... the chain slightly (very slightly) rubs on left side silencer. not a big deal as they are aluminum and it barely touches. here is a pic or two.



on the right side it doesn't point up as high for some reason but other than that I am very happy :) saving a lot of weight and it sounds good. not much louder than stock but it has a deep growl and when you get on it , it sounds like it means business

yup. just slipped em on there and put a couple muffler clamps on there(for now). notice I didn't show the right side, that one has a little ding on it.... :sarcastic:


doesn't rub much... looks like they rub more but I rotated them after I drove it for a while because I noticed the supertrapp emblem....

That's ok, this can be her good profile,, if those pipes come apart you may be able to pop the dend out if its not too bad, I have a set of micron cans on my 84 , only held together with one bolt and the lot comes apart but they're pretty thin stainless

How loud are they, they look so short they may as well not be there!!
A life has been well lived, if you have planted trees under who's shade you do not expect to sit.

I'm told I'm cynical, pessimistic and generally miserable. I say that I'm realistic! The fact that reality sucks is not my fault!

:yahoo: you can adjust how many baffles you put in....right now they are a little bit louder than stock at idle, and when you get on it its about twice as loud. its a sexy growl :nyam1:
trying to figure out how I can get the video from my phone.....

92 fj1200 with supertrapp slip-ons on stock collector I think this will work.... a youtube clip. the idle is a lot louder than it makes it seem, I had to put the camera(my phone) so far back because it would get distorted. and idk why I had a dorky look....guess that's just the way I am :rofl2: second rev was about 4-4500rpm
