I was informed that OEM HD slipon muffler can be added to my 05 RSTD for a slightly richer growl. Is this in fact the case and can other HD mufflers be used like a HD SE I did a search and wonder if other HD OEM could be used and if aftermakets for the Road King like SE could be used. What year did HD start making cat converts. This mod would be a great alternate to RSTD OEM. Thanks in advance Nevada Maxey

Let me see if I get this. If the Road King mufflers fit with only a couple of custom make brackets, then say Vance and Hines mufflers should fit with custom made brackets. True? If so that opens a lot of doors when it comes to changing exhaust.

My '85 muffler tips rusted out and since the rest was solid, I scored a major hit! Not knowing what I would find, I sawed off the rusted out tips up to a 3/8" from the seam at the widest point of the bell. To my surprise, I found a very thick, recessed end baffle (that has a nice look) with the exhaust tube comming through all the way to the end of the original tip. I cut the tube off even with the new opening and recessed it about 1/2" back into the mouth and painted the whole interior of the opening with a high temp black paint. You wouldn't believe how sharp it looks! Clean and racey. So, before you trash your mufflers, chop'em! What could you lose?

A friend of mine gave me a set of mufflers off his '08 Electro Glide which he had drilled out. I made the brackets and put them on. WOW, do they sound good. It seems like the bike has alot more HP,and no poping or backfires at all. I now just have to get the chrome exhaust clamps. I'm a happy camper. I also got the gloves from Cabela's and they are warm but the deer skin is kind of slick making it a little harder to hold the grips. tew47:301:

If anybody wants what looks to me to be a good deal on an 2008 2nd. Gen Venture, you may want to contact my local Yamaha dealer (Rich's Yamaha, Lockport, IL--815-838-8130, ask for John). It had less than 900 miles on it when I took it for a test ride a couple of weeks ago. It's dark silver, and appears to be perfect. Barb and I rode it for about 1 hour, and finally at about 45MPH with just the right amount of throttle, I heard just a trace of a whine from the primary gearing, it's way less than my 83. The price is $13,500, and it has a set of Bub mufflers on it. However, if the original mufflers are available and if you'd rather have them they will swap them for you, your choice. Before you ask why I'm not buying it----It's the first 2nd Gen I've ridden, and I felt that I wouldn't like the seating position for a long ride. I ended up buying a low mileage 1st Gen from an add here in the classifieds. If you have any questions about the 2008, I'll be happy to answer them here, E-mail, or on the telephone. Frank

Took advantage of a gorgeous day in NH. No traffic, peak fall colors, peaceful. I started out for a short ride, but the smooth ride on my RSV just kept me going and I had soon put on 150 miles. Last Sunday, I had rented an '08 Harley Electraglide Ultra to see what all the hype was about. Nice ride once you get past the "Parkinson" shaking at idle, but not good enough to convince me that it's worth 23 big ones. I parked the Harley next to my RSV and had a good laugh. The dash on the Harley was cheap vinyl compared to the retro look of the RSV. I also like the beautiful curves of the RSV body versus the boxiness of the Harley. And my wife didn't appreciate the lack of passenger room and the cramped leg room on the Harley. I have to admit that I liked the sixth gear on the Harley, but still I can't justify the price difference between the two bikes. So, I went ahead and ordered a set of roadhouse mufflers to get the sound I want on the bike that I love, my RSV. Hope the weather holds up for a while so I can enjoy the new mufflers before the beast has to go into hibernation for the winter. Wishing you all beautiful autumn ventures!

I have a 1986 venture 1300 and I was wondering if mufflers from a 1985 will fit.

ok, need some help here.. I installed my R/K`s last Sat. and took them back off in about 10 min.... hated the way they fit.. sounded good but looked like some rigged %$#@... I have the Kury. clamps and they still did not cover the pipe where the RK`s meet up. Looks like some of the pipe on the mufflers needs to be cut off.. any one have any Ideas, I have seen them on others and they looked good, I thought about useing the cone from the stock, but didn`t want to end up with 2 sets that I can`t use..

Anyone have any idea how hot it gets where the mufflers join the stock pipes? I put some permatex 1B form a gasket on and I'm wondering if it's going to burn away... 400F limit. Thanks, gp -
I was tearing down my RSV getting ready to install a new rear tire. Since I had the mufflers off I wanted to see just how loud it was. Blam, that's a loud summagun!

Removed stock slip on mufflers on 2007 midnight venture while waiting on new khrome werks slip on mufflers. Found out that i could not remove the metallic exhaust gaskets without tearing. Does anyone know if the khrome werks will come with gastkets or do i have to find locally.

are these mufflers direct bolt on replacements for a first gen? http://www.macperformance.com/store/category.cfm?SID=3&Category_ID=912&Catlevel=3 wondering because it says they fit ''all models''

Hi, Got my new to me 1990 Venture 1300 this weekend. I like almost everything about it other than the exhaust. The collector rattles and the mufflers are REAL quiet. You can hear the collector rattle over top of the sound of the exhaust. I saw the threads about gutting the collector and the mufflers. Both projects look beyond my pay grade. I have been looking for some type of aftermarket slip-ons but cant find any. Does anyone know of any good sounding mufflers that will fit? On my last bike, an '86 V-Max, I put on a set of Supertrapps, I would like a sound like that. Thanks for any info, Brian

Was wondering what the avarage mpg for Ventures was?I went from Baltimore to Brooklyn,Ny. yesterday and got 42.6 mpg.It was a spirited ride on the way running up to 75 or so.We got passed like we were standing still!On the way back traffic was terrible.Bumper to bumper 3/4 of the way home.Motor wise bike is all stock execpt for R/K mufflers and pilot srews turned out 1/4 of a turn.Not sure if this is the right forum for this question :think:I,m sure some have input though.

Would there be a Differance in Mufflers
Guest posted a topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Hi there peoples: I've read here that the road king mufflers are a resonable good choice of muffler to get a better sound from the RSV. Now I am wondering if the H.D.'s FLH would be the same or are these too big for the RSV's. Any help would be greatly appriciated.. Lightnen -
My '85 has a left muffler that's rusted out on it's tip and rather than run down another, I'd like to install a set of 1200 H-D mufflers that are straight-through with surrounding baffles. I'm wondering if not enough back pressure could be an issue. Anyone done any homework on aftermarket exhaust?
-
I'm investigating new mufflers and it is between the BUBS sleepers or the KhromeWerks slip ons. I don't seem to run into other Royal Stars that have made the switch to compare. Does anyone know a site or sites that have the sounds? Also, Anyone that has experience with both, regarding quality.

Is there a gasket that goes on the exhaust for stock mufflers? I wanted to put the stock mufflers back on this weekend just for a change and can't remember. I checked the manual and the diagram doesn't show one. If there is i must have lost them when I swapped the last time.

Seems this subject is getting beat to death, but I have a question about the clamps. I just got a pair of 2005 RG take offs and know I need the brackets from Squidley (when he gets some more made), but what about the clamps. I haven't taken the stock mufflers off yet so may be a little pre mature. Why can't you use the original clamps with the RG mufflers? Also should I drill out the center baffle or the front one and why?
-
I have a small exhaust leak on my 1st gen where the mufflers attach . Both sides have a small leak. The clamps are tigtened down as far as they will go, but the mufflers are still loose and I can move them by hand. Any suggestions on how to get them to tighten up? Is tere supposed top be a gasket at this connection point? Thanks for any advice.

I am about to purchase a set of 99 Road King mufflerss for my 06 RSTD. I was wondering if anyone could put me in touch with somebody building mounting brackets for these mufflers. Also, another question, I drilled out my stock mufflers and got a lot of popping on decel. I have plugged the AIS and still popping occurs. I am not talented enough to rejet or adjust the carbs, so I am going to put these mufflers on in hopes of making it sound better. If there is anyone in the state of Washington that would like to help out a Soldier with rejetting or adjustment please contact me. All the food and beer you can drink would gladdly be offered as payment for your help. -
I have a 2002 midnight Venture, I bought it used and put samson slip-ons on ti to get a better sound etc..I like the sound OK btu I' d like it to be a little louder and maybe more of a roar than a rumble(if that makes sense),Im thinking the Baron slip ons would be a good choice but don 't really have the cash right now.If anyone has a set of Barons that they might want to trade , I have the original mufflers as well as the Samsons, both in excellent condition. If you're interested let me know.

OK folks, I got my 05 QuickSilver all patched up and running like a dream again, so I am keeping it and selling my 07 RSV. But I still have a few cosmetic things to fix as I find good buys on stuff. I'd even make a special trip just to pick one up somewhere; that would make a good excuse to ride! My right muffler has some ugly road rash on the front of it, so I need a replacement. Anyone have a stock, unmodified RH RSV muffler I can pick up at a nice price? Alternatively, how about a pair of stock, unmodified RSTD mufflers? Or a pair of unmodified Road King mufflers? I could also use the right Y pipe and the right rear crash bar.

What is the diameter of the headpipe where the muffler fits over? thought someone might readily know this without me having to tear mine completely apart to measure it. found some aftermarket mufflers I am thinking about trying out. Thanks Craig
