    Supertrapp Supermag 2in1. Really liked the pipes.
    They sounded good.
    Nice clean install, easy to clean.
    Not as loud as the D&D fatcats either.

    Had some folks to run me down to look at them , and ask who made them
    I likeed how they sounded. They was louder when I did the 103 build I did and had if I remember 24 or26 disc.
    Already forgot.

    The supertrapp went with the 08 bike I traded in. As well a whole bunch of other stuff.
    If I still had them I'd have them on the 11 bike I have now if they would fit.

    CB, when you don't have the tour pack, I like your bike with the backrest. I agree with you, gives it balance due to hard bags. Just good looking bike!

    That is good to hear , nothin like a happy woman. I'm sure it will take a lot of stress off her and she will feel more secure leanin up against it.
    Will probaly help her back too.
    Hope she liked it being that tall.
    I'm Old school and like tall sissy bars to lean against.

    Everybody used to give me a hard time with my WG cause it had a tall sissy bar. The Ol would butt in real fast. She really liked leanin against it
    And didn't care what they thought.
    They shutup pretty fast.
    I wished I still had this bike. A buddy that raced bikes build this engine.
    It was the fastest bike I've ever owned.

    Those pictures are awesome and I like the bike a lot. The ol here said that she likes the height of the backrest and like how it contours to her back. I think that this investment was money well spent. :D

    Great, the main person I was interested in was your wife.
    Know ladies have a harder time holding on and having something to lean against. It makes the ride much more enjoyable for them.
    Hope you enjoy your Bagger Johnny.
    Just remember its made for styling around and having a good ride.
    Not for racing.
    You got a sporty for that.

    CB, that was an awesome WG. My wife would not ride with me without the backrest. I like the way it looks on my bike so I leave it on all the time and I generally like less on a bike.

    Thanks , both me and the OL loved it. I bought it brand new and had it build and did a super lot to it.
    We both had a lot of memories on it.
    It was had to look at it at the dealership
    It was a fast bike.
    I did 140 on GPS on that bike a couple times.

    We did so much ridin it was crazy.
    We rode over 500 miles every saturday and sunday. I had leather saddle bags on it .
    When I traded the bike in, don't know if it made it a week.
    The bike had 48,000 on it in a year and a half.
    I had left a bagger and deceided it was time to return.

    Johnny take the wife for a Ride and let her explain to you if she likes it.
    Then take it off and take her for a ride.
    The proof will be with the Wife talkin to you.

    And the BAckrest really makes the back of the bike look good to me.

    A man that can live with his wife, cut up have a good time and not hear any complainin lives in Heaven.
    I know cause I finally found one 27 yrs ago.

    I got a lot of friends that their OL is constantly controlling what they do, where they go, and who they hang with and raised cane all the time.
    Got friends that are unhappy being married, no matter what they do.
    NO way to live.
    And got buddies that their OL had no desire to ride a Harley
    WTF.
    I have been there and done that. Just I do not listen to it.
    And a woman can't control me.
    Makes me go crazy.
