raceman62race Posted March 18, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 18, 2009 I know if I put a Road King muffler on my 08 RSV, I will have to use some custom brackets for support. My question is: will I have to use a bushing or will it slip right on the pipes without a bushing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick97spirit Posted March 18, 2009 Share #6 Posted March 18, 2009 where's the best place to pick these up? I need a pair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raceman62race Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted March 18, 2009 where's the best place to pick these up? I need a pair Bamaventure started a thread and said he had a pair for sale and I jumped on them. I've been seeing them on E-bay as well. I'm told any touring Harley muffler will slip right on if you buy or fabricate a custom support bracket. Someone on here sells powder coated brackes for I think $40.00 set....look in the classifieds on this forum if you want to but brackets. Look on e-bay for mufflers.

raceman62race Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted March 20, 2009 Got my RK mufflers yesterday. Looks like I am going to have to get a small clamp to hold it on. Is there a way to cover up the clamp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagleeye Posted March 20, 2009 Share #11 Posted March 20, 2009 I went to the harley shop, bought a pair of RK muffler clamps, went home and clamped them on. Cover them up? Why? BTW, Squidley here, makes and sells the brackets. I used his. Very nice brackets, and bolt right up. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the Harley shop but they don't sell that product...had to go to a custom chopper accessories shop to get them. I got a set of the VTwin clamps and the look real good. The VTwin clamp covers the entire slot at the end of the muffler. I got my road king mufflers installed. The mufflers are completely stock and have not been drilled out. Sounds real nice. A bit of a rumble, but I can ride it to work everyday without pissing off the neighbors I went to the harley shop, bought a pair of RK muffler clamps, went home and clamped them on. Cover them up?

Hillis can supply the muffler brackets now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureVentures Posted April 5, 2011 Share #13 Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) So a friend of mine had given me a set of Road King pipes. I finally got around to installing them today, took some time and creativity for certain. If I ever have to remove them, that'll be a problem cause it took some banging to get em on. Here's a youtube link of the before and after. I took it for a ride just now and I really like it, much throatier sound, not too loud. It almost stalled with stock pipes, as it wasn't warmed up, fyi. Before: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00Yf5mL0ghI]YouTube - Venture before Harley pipes[/ame] After: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iDCYSWoheo]YouTube - Harley pipes on my venture[/ame] In any case, so far, so good.
