Deacon Posted September 11, 2008 Share #1 Posted September 11, 2008 Yamaha has released the 2009 RSV and RSTD models and not a dam thing has changed. No upgrade in the sound system, no FI, no increase in HP etc.. Oh well I guess I'll be keeping my 2006 RSTD with the newly purchased mustang seat..

ahoutzer Posted September 11, 2008 Share #5 Posted September 11, 2008 I like mine quiet, so the stock pipes are just fine for me, but I have wanted the tips that are available for RSTDs. The RSTD stock pipes appear to be identical to RSV stock pipes except that the RSTD pipes have threaded holes for bolting on these tips, and RSVs don't have those holes. I bought a set of the tips on eBay last night, and hope that I can figure out a way to mount them without damaging the original pipes. Next a new set of winter gloves. That should be it for a while.

Freebird Posted September 11, 2008 Share #6 Posted September 11, 2008 I did it the easy way. I bought the complete set of RSTD mufflers off Ebay a couple of years ago. Rick Butler did it your way though. You might give him a shout or search for posts by him because I know he did post it. Basically he used a punch to punch holes in the correct location. A PUNCH...not a drill. Using a punch left the metal inside which he then tapped to the proper size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
