SuperTrapp chime in question (nklr)

I'm looking to buy a pipe for my KLX 650 R at some point, and I really don't want to deal with re-packing the core if I don't have to. I like the idea of being able to tune for power band and noise with the discs on the SuperTrapp, but like I said, I'm not crazy about having to re-pack periodically. Call me lazy, I don't mind, just don't call me late for dinner. Can any of you with the SuperTrapp comment on whether or not you have re-packed the cores, and how often? Does it get louder over time as the packing self destructs? Thanks, Ed Duvall, WA '96 KLX 650 R (with a stock pipe that has an outlet hole about the size of a pencil eraser, can't believe it can even run like that) '82 Katana 1000 (with a loud as hell Vance & Hines that needs to be re-packed!) http://www.geocities.com/motormark64/ http://www.angelfire.com/mo/motormark/ KLR-650 A-13 "warthogg" XR250R "superfly" Stone Mountain, Ga ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Chuck, Try this http://www.geocities.com/~klrdsn/page43.html that should take you there. I got a pair from Fred, they are the Acerbis alum. They are a couple inches narrower and I love them, dont smash my fingers near as much as I used to. crazydave _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html
