lshafer Posted July 30, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 30, 2011 I'm interested in finding a set of Road King exhaust pipes for my 06 RSTD. Does anyone know of anyone or have any they might be interested in parting with? I think I need a bracket too, but I'm not sure which or where to get one. My understanding is that Road King exhausts will give me a bit of sound without putting my wallet in too much jeopordy so I'd like to give them a shot. As long as my ears won't be ringing after an hour long ride, I'd be OK. Based on what I've read on around here, quite a few folks like them and it doesn't sound like they will have any type of negative impact on the performance of my bike. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eck Posted July 30, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 30, 2011 My son told me he has a set off his HD. I will contact hm today and post later to confirm, and send you his cell # (via email), so you two can discuss. Eck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummingbird Posted July 30, 2011 Share #4 Posted July 30, 2011 I've got a spare set in the shed - don't remember if they're 95 A or 98A, nearly new and not drilled. There are a couple ways to mount the rear, you can do it for $4 or $40 your choice but you will probably want to get the front clamp off ebay. rbyrd5@neo.rr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eck Posted July 30, 2011 Share #5 Posted July 30, 2011 Sent you an email I have a drawing on how to make the required muffler brackets for HD mufflers. Heck, forget the email... I remembered I can place the drawing right here for you see attachment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, will one fit and one not or does it have something to do with NOISE or something. It would be great if you could clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear can be made for as little of nothing if you know of a machine shop.. We cut about 50 sets at work in few hours horsing around, wish I had set left now but it is very easy to cut out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eck Posted July 30, 2011 Share #8 Posted July 30, 2011 Sent you another email that has my son's cell number. He said you can call him anytime. When your done with his phone number make sure you post it in all the mens rest rooms everywhere you stop at.... Eck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilsonTAMU83 Posted July 30, 2011 Share #9 Posted July 30, 2011 I bought a complete set that I purchased off Ponch's bike a couple years ago. Brackets, clamps everything to mount. Ran them for about 6 months love the sound around town but on road trips the sound got to the wife and I so i went back stock. I'll part with the full set for $75 plus shipping.

We cut about 50 sets at work in few hours horsing around, wish I had set left now but it is very easy to cut out for the rear clamp, you can get 1 1/4" electrical emt clamps at lowes for $2 and a couple ss 1/4" bolts and washers - Get the clamp with the rubber insert - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mine drilled out front and rear. nice on acceleration and soothing on cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flb_78 Posted July 31, 2011 Share #17 Posted July 31, 2011 Stock Road King mufflers are not any louder than the Yamaha muffs. The tone is deeper, thus sounding louder. The Bub's are considerably louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me check with Eck's son. I'll call him today and see what his thoughts are. If we can't come to an agreement then I'll let you know. Do you have any pics you could send me of them?

1rooster Posted July 31, 2011 Share #20 Posted July 31, 2011 Why did they not compare to the bubs? I hated the sound they made.They sounded exactly like a harley muffler on a yamaha.Not meant to be IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
