I just wanted to thank him for selling us a set of stock Venture mufflers for our RSTD. We just bought our bike and it had Roadhouse mufflers on it that sounded great but we wanted a nice quiet bike. He showed us a lot of things about our bike that we didn't know and he told/showed me how to switch out the pipes and it was a piece of cake thanks to knowing ahead of time what to do. We LOVE the bike now. Everybody else we've talked to has also been a big help to us navagating the site, etc. This is the best $12 we've ever spent. This site rocks! Joe N Linda PS, how do we post pic of our bike?

Well I got the barons 424 mufflers on and I have the whine,but I'm having too much fun with the loud exhaust to care. The video does not do the mufflers justice, They are LOUD. I'll try to put the go pro on the saddlebags and see if it will demo the sound better. I'll post when done if anyone is interested. I know I like watching videos with the sound of the bike not music. Here's the link....[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axrKx0tG-L4]YouTube- Yamaha Royal star tour deluxe / with barons 424[/ame]

Well, yes because my searches didn't reveal to me threads that are close enough to my situation. I bought a pair of '06 RK mufflers. Both pipes have a restriction in them (not straight through). I was thinking these wouldn't have the catalyst in them, but I guess they may. Is it necessary to remove the cat? Since neither is straight through, how loud will these be compared to the stock RSV mufflers if I don't bore them out? I want just a little more rumble; I don't want these to be as loud as the V&H on my Kawi. I looked at them again and one pipe has just baffles on both ends and the other has a baffle on the outlet, but the inlet has what lookes like corrugated metal in it. I had read that the cat was a yellow material and that is not what is in this pipe. If I knock out the baffles and cat, will I have to rejet? -

Ok, I'd like to know how much whine is too much or normal. I will be getting barons 424 slipon mufflers in the next week or so. But I was just wondering how much whine is too much? I put a video from my Go Pro on you tube and if link works maybe I could get an idea if I should try the I basket deal or just put the mufflers on and ride. hopefully here's the link [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzN9EMtI0_s]YouTube- Yamaha RSTD whine?[/ame]

A Venture rider I know is looking to change his mufflers out for some Tour Deluxe mufflers with the adjustable tips. Does anyone have a set they would like to sell? We looked at just putting the TD tips on the Venture mufflers, they will fit in the ends, but the Venture mufflers lack the threaded inserts used to fasten the tips on. I doubt that the sheet metal on the inside of the muffler cone is strong enough to hold the tips on with out the threaded inserts. Has anyone tried adding the TD tips to stock Venture muflers? Thanks

Installed fishtail mufflers couple of days ago and just got the clamps. These mufflers are a lot lighter than stock and just wondered if I needed to make brackets or just go as is? They feel rigid with no play and the clamps really tightened down well. As a side note, I've never complained about the "whine", but after installing them the whine is very noticeable. Hard to believe that the mufflers would effect the whine, but I haven't put the saddlebags back on and that may make the difference. Anyone notice the whine getting worse when changing mufflers? I am definitely keeping my stock mufflers just in case, but I'm no longer hesitant to pull along side a Harley at a light. Of course they can hear them well from the rear when we're rolling.

What a eventful trip I had And no members near for assistance Will tell you members later But Now Question I dont like the BuB mufflers on it If I replace them with the original pipes is there anything I have to do with the Carbs
-
Does anyone happen to have stock mufflers lying around. More than willing to pay a price and shipping for them. Not quite sure if I want to get rid of the Baron's for good yet, but want to try stock again since it has been so long. Thanks for the help.

:fiddle:I must be getting old,HA!!! Anyway goodbye to the rk mufflers "overrated?" I have tried them all rk screaming eagle , stock 09 ultra mufflers, older rk mufflers and i came to the conclusion that they don,t sound that good. this hi revving v4 should sound like a ferarri not a john deere. Is there any pipes that make it sound mellower and not raspy ? I am going to put the stocks back on this week "glad i kept them" and never look back. Kinda felt sorry for all the folks i passed having to listen to that !!

I am going to replace my Cobra slash cut drag pipe mufflers (soon to be for sale) with the original OEM mufflers on my 97 Royal Star Classic. When I look at the parts diagram (see attached) for the exhaust, it looks as if I need to replace as many as 10 gaskets just by changing mufflers (parts 2; 6(2); 10; 14(2); 18(2) and 22(2)) at a cost of approx $160 delivered which is almost as much as I paid for the OEM mufflers! Does anyone know exactly which gaskets truly need to be replaced when changing back to all 4 OEM mufflers? I'd obviously like to have them on-hand when I do the swap. Thanks!

Will the mufflers off of a 84 1200 fit on an 86 1300 ?

I know mufflers have been discussed a bunch on here, but here we go again. I don't want a loud bike, but that sweet V4 needs to be heard a little better. I've read that a lot of folks really like the HD Road King pipes, but what would would sound good (not looking for loud, I just want to hear the bike better) and be easiest to install? Also looking for a bargain.

Got my used collector on today,,boy what fun! Went on easier than coming off. Leak tested and all is good, only thing I need now is gaskets for the mufflers, where's a good source for an un-employed individual such as me ????

was just wandering if anybody knows if a set of road king mufflers can be made to fit on a 91 VR. I've cuut and drilled out my stock and although I love the sound just wanted a cleaner look. If this question has already been answerd before then I apologise. Tahnks in advance. David -
I need a set of first gen mufflers, doesn't matter so much on the condition, just looking for a really cheap price, will pay for shipping. Going to do some "reconstructive" work on the mufflers, so the quality is not that much of an issue Thanks! -CJ

I recently purchased a 97 RSTD. One of the first projects I want to tackle is replacing the mufflers that are installed and probably go back to the OEM mufflers. It appears that some aftermarket slip-on mufflers were installed and I am now trying to determine what brand of mufflers are installed on the bike; mainly to be able to sell them, or trade them for excellent condition OEM mufflers. Although the sound is very deep and powerful (and impresses most of my friends), it's a bit too loud for me, especially after Chemo affected my hearing, and I really don't want to tic off all the neighbors when I leave for work at 6 AM on the morning... So any ideas what brand/model these might be? Thanks in advance for any help!

Any difference in the mufflers on an 03 RSV and a 07 RSV?

I just posted some Harley mufflers in the classifieds if you're interested. Thanks

I saw this and I kind of like the look with out the trunk. I wonder how hard and much time it would take to remove it? Where are the antennas? And how about the no mufflers? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Royal-Star-2008-YAMAHA-1300-ROYAL-STAR-VENTURE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3a552e0ba7QQitemZ250537184167QQptZUSQ5fmotorcycles

My 83VR has been put up for the winter since late October because of the surgery I was supposed to have November 2. ( now rescheduled for December 11) A friend of mine Mike said he wasn't going riding and let me take his GL1500 for the day. I went to Gary's (99silver) and we took off for a ride. We traded bikes (Mike and Gary are friends also) so I could see what it was like riding a 2nd Gen since I've been looking to go to a 2nd Gen or back to a Goldwing. What I found was leg position very comfortable BUT when taking off for the first time I picked my feet up and TRIED to put them on foot pegs straight under me which was not there. Feet hit pavement and got a little squirrelly but made strong mental note, Forward floorboards, forward floorboards. Did not think I would like heal toe shifter but after a little bit it was alright. Back started to hurt fairly quick but just pulling on handle bars relieved back so I know I would have to have a back rest. Liked the feel of the bike but you do have to "steer" more where a first Gen you just lean into a turn. All in all I liked it BUT they need a tach, now Gary has Road King mufflers on his so I was able to hear the RPM's somewhat to try and learn shift points and what speed to ride in different gears but it would be rough learning the bike with stock quiet mufflers. Was riding to slow in 5th a lot. So after the surgery it will be time to look for a 2 Gen or a great deal on a Wing.

Is there any such thing as to loud??? Just removed some of the baffles out of my stock 1st Gens mufflers. Of course we had to start it up, and rev it up while mufflers removed. WOW that sound nice!!! Maybe to loud. So we put the partially de-baffled mufflers on. Sounds ok at idle, and at cruising speed. However sounds to raspy while going through the gears, hitting the obligatory 6-7,000 rpms. I would like a deeper rumbling sound.

Hey there, my mufflers on my 86 Venture are rusting out... anybody have a good set of used ones for sale?.... I noticed from searching this site that there was a group buy of Mac mufflers a while ago. I went to the Mac website and they do not show any parts available. Any advice on where to get a new slip on set-up if I can't find a used set? thanks for any help Gary

I have had these mufflers on for 3 seasons and would like to repack the fiberglass in them, assuming there is some. I tried to pull the baffle out the back of the muffler, it will turn but it will only come so far. Anyone had the same problem? -
After having not ridden it for about a month, since I got the RSV, I pulled the cover off the Tour Classic, this afternoon. Just as soon as I sat down on her I thought, Wow I see now why the RSV seemed so intimidating. The TC seems WAY smaller than the RSV. I can actually put both heels down and bend my knees slightly. On the RSV I cannot get both heels down at the same time, even with zero pressure in all three shocks. Then when I pulled out into the street it seemed like I was back on something, size wise, in line with an old Honda (CL77) 305 Scrambler! Ok I know the difference, but man it is seems small. I guess I was always under the mistaken notion that the Tour Classic was the same physical size as the RSV, just with less bling. Anyway, I really had an enjoyable afternoon running errands on the Old Friend! It BTW still has the completely stock Yammie mufflers on it and that was another plesentry as the RSV has Road King mufflers on it and they (IMHO) are too loud, at least for my taste. They are loud enough I have to turn up the volume on the AM/FM that I haven't yet figured out if I have one of the Chirp-er/Whine-ers Anyone wanna swap a stock/stock set of Yammie mufflers for a set of Road Kings?
