Could you please give me the length of the trailer [including tongue] and the width Then Paradise H-D will know what kind of space it will take up.

I know! MORE Road King crap! But maybe this is useful. I'm part way through the install of my "Harley touring pipes". I went to the local H-D dealer and asked if I could have a pair of "take-offs"... pipes they take off new bikes when the owner wants a different set. I was given (my cost: $0) a set they said came off a touring bike. I don't know that they are Road King, or what. They were free and in good shape. They have minor scratches, but I did mention they were free, right? The rest of this is to alert newbies to what the issues are when they read install threads. If you don't know what people are talking about, you miss the information being conveyed. So... here's some information. So here is a top view of my stock RSTD mufflers above the H-D touring pipes. The front of the mufflers are to the right. You can see that the RSTD pipes have the bracket welded to the middle of the pipe, offset to the inside. In contrast, the H-D pipes have the nut holes at the tale of the pipes, centered. This causes the main mounting problem, of how to get the bolt on the bike to meet the nut holes on the H-D pipes. Commonly, you make or buy a bracket that spans that gap. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3642/3691214905_9f02c43f0b.jpg Another view. In my opinion, the RSTD pipes are very attractive. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2657/3692021524_579efc409b.jpg Alternative installation method: Zip ties. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2644/3691215573_0aa375d98c.jpg JUST KIDDING! My brackets are coming, but I wanted to hear how they sounded and couldn't wait. But this does show where the H-D bolts go. The mate is visible on the inside of the black pipe, further towards the front of the bike. Here's one of the other issues: the muffler clamp. I have a V-Twin part coming (P/N 31-9920), but this photo shows the ugly mating of the H-D muffler to the Yamaha header pipe. I had to pry the muffler open a little to get it to go over the exhaust header. It probably needs to go on further, but I am waiting for the bracket to come--that will determine final locations. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3604/3691215821_4cdd0907ef.jpg OK, so here is the good stuff. I made videos of my stock pipes before I installed the touring (Road King) mufflers. Stock Pipes: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FWIMtsJhDY]YouTube - Stock pipes on the Royal Star Tour Deluxe[/ame] Harley-Davidson pipes: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt6QoJtem0s]YouTube - Road King Mufflers on the Royal Star Tour Deluxe[/ame] You can judge for yourself whether you think they are louder. I think they have a different tone and bleat much more when you throttle. And you can see that they shake the camera with the exhaust. But for me, the jury is out as to whether they need modification or not. Hope this helps make the issues a little clearer. -
Excuse me if the pic was discussed here before. I hope all is well and you were all safe riding this summer. I want test your knowledge and solve a puzzle for me by being the first member to identify this bike. This picture was posted several months ago on the H-D boards and was supposed to be a spy shot of the 09 electra glide. It looks metric to me and does not look like the final H-D that came out a few weeks ago. I just may not recognize Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha or Kawasaki features on a customer's modified bike, but I can't figure out what bike this is. Does anyone recognize this bike or could it be possibly be a spy shot of the long awaited new Kawasaki touring bike??? NOTES: Trunk looks a little like a Venture. Side bags not so much. The rider foot position on the passenger boards could be for comfort or could indicate bad engine heat like the Victory Vision. I do like the handlebar height and the height of the gauges at the top of the fairing. I don't see rear speakers however. http://www.kawasakimotorcycle.org/forum/attachments/kawasaki-touring-sport-touring/21036d1215384436-voyager-replacment-hd-20tour-20prototype.jpg

Do any of you have a 1999 or newer H-D Ultra Classic that you use a headset on? I was wondering if they pin out is the same for it and the 2nd Gen RSV??????? Also, I cant seem to find a pinout diagram for the 2nd gen RSV headset, but I can find one for the 1st gen in the tech library. I need one for the 2nd gen.
