SUPERTRAPP PRO FLAT TRACK TEAM
SuperTrapp is
proud to announce we are the sponsor of the 2009 SuperTrapp Pro Flat
Track Team featuring Mike Hacker as Team Manager and "Jersey"
Jake Johnson as rider.
"Having a dog in this fight for the championship series for both the
singles and the twins is pretty incredible. Long time sponsor,
SuperTrapp, is equally stoked about Jake joining the team. Jake is a hard
and aggressive racer. He rides everything well and seeks strong results.
Jake is a seasoned racer and I am looking forward to the rest of the
season", notes Team Manager, Mike Hacker.
Earning two championship titles under the singles platform aboard
American Suzuki; Johnson's famed number one will be planted on Mike
Hacker's prepped CRF450 Honda machines for the rest of the season.
At the same time of his parting with his previous team, Jake will now be
a threat in the AMA Pro Grand National Twins Series. Highly recognizable
and noted for building competitive machines, the legendary tuner Johnny
Goad will field Johnson on Harley-Davidson XR750's. Johnny and his wife
Sarah have been affiliated with some high profile riders over the course
of their careers including Ricky Graham, Bryan Bigelow, Kevin Varnes,
Mike Hacker and Jared Mees.
SuperTrapp has always been the system of choice for racers and virtually
every XR750. Flat track racers are extremely familiar with SuperTrapp's
ongoing race support program and know the benefits of taking advantage of
it and SuperTrapp's tunable performance exhausts.
Riders and show attendees can see all SuperTrapp and Kerker exhausts and
get their questions answered by visiting the ProTour Truck which will be
at some races and several events throughout the year.
SuperTrapp looks forward to a successful racing season with Mike Hacker
and Jake Johnson and wishes all racers a safe and fun riding season..

NEW ROC HARLEY-DAVIDSON TESTIMONIAL
Dealerships know that a great way to get riders and
potential customers in their store is to host an Open House.
Jack Meskunas, Parts Manager at NewRoc Harley-Davidson in New Rochelle,
NY is no exception. A few years ago, Jack contacted us for a set of our
Road Legends X Pipes. He put them on a showroom floor bike and increased
his sales by selling an additional 12 sets of X Pipes in no time.
Their Open Houses average over 1,000 people and hundreds of demo rides.
NewRoc Harley-Davidson recently hosted another Open House and Jack came
to us again in hopes to do the same thing this year.
We obliged and sent them our Kerker Slip-Ons with Black Holy Moly End
Caps, banners, catalogs, decals and SuperTrapp swag to raffle off.
Don't
just take our word for it on how great of an opportunity this was for
NewRoc and can be for you too.
Here's what Jack Meskunas from NewRoc H-D had to say:
"We at NewRoc Harley-Davidson, in New Rochelle, New York, do a
significant amount of motorcycle customization. What is important to keep
in mind, however, is that not everyone wants a $30,000 or $40,000
motorcycle, some just want a few "touches" to make the bike
their own, or just to make it sound or perform better.
NewRoc frequently turns to SuperTrapp for exhaust systems. We find that
the quality, value, and sound is what our customers are after, and
SuperTrapp fills the bill! This Electra-Glide Standard (FLHT) is a
perfect example of "minimal" customization, with just the
windshild replaced with a Klockwerks screen, and the SuperTrapp exhaust
with Holy Moly endcaps. These two small changes give the bike a
"meaner" look and sound, and still leave the bike ready for
more personalization, like a custom stereo, chrome, or black accents.
We appreciate the partnership and fantastic working relationship we have
with SuperTrapp, and look forward to continuing to work with them in the
future."
Thanks, Jack
Dealers...stay tuned for an e-blast from us about our brand
new "Dealer Exhaust Display Program". It's an offer you can't
refuse that you'll want to take advantage of immediately!

HIGHLIFTER MUD NATIONALS 2009 RE-CAP AND VIDEOS!
Once again, High Lifter Products, along with riders from
across the nation and beyond met in Jacksonville, Texas, for a week long
ATV experience that is known as The High Lifter ATV Mud Nationals. For
the seventh straight year, riders travelled from the four corners of the
U.S. and Canada to spend a week in East Texas at Mud Creek Off-Road Park.

exciting line-up of events throughout the weekend that will showcase the
most impressive ATVs the sport has to offer!
The SuperTrapp Mud Bog is the event that started High Lifter's ATV Mud
Nationals seven years ago, sometimes called "The Granddaddy of them
All". SuperTrapp has been the faithful supporter of this event for

FATSHOTS SLIP-ONS FOR '95 - '09 BAGGERS
The already famous SuperTrapp FatShots Slip-Ons are now
available for '95 - '09 Harley-Davidson Baggers (P/N 728-71576, MSRP
$499.00).
After nearly a year in development, SuperTrapp's new FatShots Slip-Ons
are going to set the standard for adjustable performance. These new
3.5" diameter, fully chrome plated muffler bodies flare out to a
4", slash cut end with a straight through 2" diameter,
pillow-pack wrapped performance core that is capped off with the
legendary SuperTrapp 4" discs and polished trim ring.
By adjusting the number of discs, these new FatShots Slip-Ons have the
ability to be the quietest performance muffler out there with a richer
stock level sound, but enhanced performance. It performs better than
stock in a sound compliant configuration. FatShots Slip-Ons are
neighborhood and stereo-friendly at 83dB while idle (6 discs per muffler
SAE J1287).
If you want to kick it up a notch, installing the recommended 12 discs
per muffler in conjunction with its straight through 2" diameter
performance core sets the stage for maximum power. In this configuration,
FatShots Slip-Ons provide a 15% horsepower gain and a 12% torque gain
over stock, proving, your exhaust does not have to be loud to make power.
These Slip-Ons truly demonstrate the performance and customization that a
tunable exhaust has to offer. Adding 4" discs will increase the
horsepower, exhaust tone and flow. Subtracting 4" discs will reduce
the sound and increase low-end torque.
FatShots Slip-Ons are compatible with SuperTrapp True Duals for
Harley-Davidson '09 Baggers (P/N 168-71578, MSRP $429.00) as well as
SuperTrapp True Duals for '08 Baggers and earlier models going all the
way back to '85 (P/N 138-71574, MSRP $399.00).

'09 BAGGER TRUE DUALS ARE HERE!
SuperTrapp True
Duals for Harley-Davidson '09 Baggers (P/N 168-71578, MSRP $429.00) are
the newest addition to our exhaust family.
The design of these new head pipes is unlike anything else out there on
the market today. SuperTrapp True Duals raised the bar for the standard
of attractive pipes, breaking the mold of the "cookie cutter"
true duals that are already out there. They feature full length 2 ¼"
heat shields that protect the pipes and keep the rider and passenger's
legs cool.
SuperTrapp True Duals give riders the option of adding either the
SuperTrapp SE Series Kerker, or FatShots Slip-Ons to the end of their
True Dual head pipes.
SuperTrapp SE Series Slip-Ons are the champion of numerous magazine
shootouts with a proven 10 - 12% hp gain. SE's are The King of bottom-mid
range torque, with a steady, tough, low rumbled sound. SE Slip-Ons are
less than 3dB louder than stock and have a completely rebuildable core
and packing.
Kerker Slip-Ons provide a louder and heavier rumbled sounding Slip-On.
Kerker Slip-Ons are commonly known for their 12 - 13% horsepower gain
with great mid-high range power. Kerkers are 8dB louder than stock with a
profound, deep, throaty rumble. A Mikuni Core is available for peak
performance and ultimate flow. A rebuildable core and packing keep the
Kerker Slip-On maintenance at a minimum.
In addition to SuperTrapp True Duals for '09 Baggers, we also launched
True Duals for '85 - '08 Baggers (P/N 168-71574, MSRP $399.00).
SuperTrapp True Duals come complete with hardware and mounting
instructions allowing riders to be on the road in no time.
Compatible with 14 end caps including the brand new, Yaffe-designed, Holy
Moly end caps.
