Has anyone had any issues with the supertrapp supermeg 2-1 cracking? Was wanting to get these for my 103 RG, but a local shop said they had had some supertrapps cracking after warranty.

 

Your shop's is the first I've ever heard about. All the SDHD dealer's "custom" bikes here run SuperMegs 2-into-1 setupswithout issue.

 

The first Two I had broke. The first one was back in 04 and it was the old style pipe and they had a lot of trouble with the baggers. Mine broke off about 4" out of the rear head pipe. The second broke at the collecter ( It was the rear head again). They did warranty both pipes and I think they have done a better job of welding. MPO they need to come up with a better mounting system than the hose clamp around tranny bracket.

 

There was some talk on here a while ago about the tranny bracket, or should I say hose clamp, breaking. But I've never heard about the actual pipe cracking.

I ran one for about 8 months with no problems at all, and I did about 10000 miles in that time.

I noticed in the online instruction sheet for the 07s, they now have an actual P clamp instead of the hose clamp. That should help!

Where are you guys getting you supertrapps?

 

I installed a SuperTrap 2-1 on my FLHS 10+ years ago. I believe it was the year they came out with them for touring bikes, whenever that was. I couldn't mount the first set, something about the angle where the headers connected to the megaphone was wrong. It was replaced and I mounted the replacement fine. Two or three years ago or so, a large crack developed where the headers mergered. I called SuperTrap and they had one header in their warehouse; I guess that model was discontinued. I installed that and its been fine since.

 

My tranny bracket "hose clamp" broke alsoone time no biggie.

 

I did replace the hose clamp off the tranny bracket after discovering the bolt on the muffler bracket took a hike (cool design, going into the tank like it's neighbor bolt so you get an oil leak when you lose a bolt). Total repairs were about $ 1.99 and five minutes.
