Can you make your own brackets and source your own HD mufflers - probably - but not without tools, labor and sourcing bits and pieces from here and there.

 

The kit is very clean, a pro job, the guys at R-Mark are very helpful.

They sell the mounting kit solo if you have HD muffs already.

 

With this kit you can mount any type of Road King mufflers (stock, CVO, etc.) and they look great.

 

The clamps they send are chrome and massive (unlike the stainless pipe clamp in other kits) while being securely mounted under the bags with brackets + 2 bolts at the top of the muffler.

 

You can tune the stock mufflers or trade up to CVO.

I keep the stock slash cut HD mufflers unmodified as my "quiet" set.

 

I'm sure I have a post about installing them but here are some tips:

 

Watch out when installing used HD mufflers.

The way they are clamped on crimps the pipe which makes it tough to get on without an expander.

 

The fit is very tight - dry fit everything before you put it on.

Clean the exhaust pipe before installing them.

 

Use a flat head screw driver to wedge the clamp open if you need when putting them on.

 

There is no gasket between the muffler and pipe for almost every slip on kit.

Get some high temp RTV sealer and apply it before clamping everything together.

 

Regards,

I got my rk's(NEW Take offs) off ebay for $18 plus shipping, total of $50 and they came with the clamps. used two "P" clamps to mount at a cost of $5 each. $145 for dirty used RK's...not the best buy out there.:confused07:
