raceman62race Posted March 18, 2009 #1 Posted March 18, 2009 I know if I put a Road King muffler on my 08 RSV, I will have to use some custom brackets for support. My question is: will I have to use a bushing or will it slip right on the pipes without a bushing?

raceman62race Posted March 18, 2009 Author #3 Posted March 18, 2009 mine sliped right on and you`ll love the sound Thanks...just bought a set from Bamaventure and I didn't want to try to install them and find out there was something else I need!
raceman62race Posted March 18, 2009 Author #5 Posted March 18, 2009 I've got some stainless steel at home that I plan on making brackets out of
slick97spirit Posted March 18, 2009 #6 Posted March 18, 2009 where's the best place to pick these up? I need a pair
raceman62race Posted March 18, 2009 Author #7 Posted March 18, 2009 where's the best place to pick these up? I need a pair Bamaventure started a thread and said he had a pair for sale and I jumped on them. I've been seeing them on E-bay as well. I'm told any touring Harley muffler will slip right on if you buy or fabricate a custom support bracket. Someone on here sells powder coated brackes for I think $40.00 set....look in the classifieds on this forum if you want to but brackets. Look on e-bay for mufflers.
raceman62race Posted March 20, 2009 Author #8 Posted March 20, 2009 Got my RK mufflers yesterday. Looks like I am going to have to get a small clamp to hold it on. Is there a way to cover up the clamp?
1sttenor Posted March 20, 2009 #9 Posted March 20, 2009 Got my RK mufflers yesterday. Looks like I am going to have to get a small clamp to hold it on. Is there a way to cover up the clamp? YOu can get clamps at the Harley Shop for about $16 that are chromed and thats all you'll need.

I went to the Harley shop but they don't sell that product...had to go to a custom chopper accessories shop to get them.
eagleeye Posted March 20, 2009 #11 Posted March 20, 2009 I went to the harley shop, bought a pair of RK muffler clamps, went home and clamped them on. Cover them up? Why? BTW, Squidley here, makes and sells the brackets. I used his. Very nice brackets, and bolt right up. Steve

I went to the Harley shop but they don't sell that product...had to go to a custom chopper accessories shop to get them. I got a set of the VTwin clamps and the look real good. The VTwin clamp covers the entire slot at the end of the muffler. I got my road king mufflers installed. The mufflers are completely stock and have not been drilled out. Sounds real nice. A bit of a rumble, but I can ride it to work everyday without pissing off the neighbors I went to the harley shop, bought a pair of RK muffler clamps, went home and clamped them on. Cover them up? Why? BTW, Squidley here, makes and sells the brackets. I used his. Very nice brackets, and bolt right up. Steve Squidley dropped out of the fabrication business. Hillis can supply the muffler brackets now.
FutureVentures Posted April 5, 2011 #13 Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) So a friend of mine had given me a set of Road King pipes. I finally got around to installing them today, took some time and creativity for certain. If I ever have to remove them, that'll be a problem cause it took some banging to get em on. Here's a youtube link of the before and after. I took it for a ride just now and I really like it, much throatier sound, not too loud. It almost stalled with stock pipes, as it wasn't warmed up, fyi. Before: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00Yf5mL0ghI]YouTube - Venture before Harley pipes[/ame] After: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iDCYSWoheo]YouTube - Harley pipes on my venture[/ame] In any case, so far, so good.
