05venturer Posted August 8, 2009 #1 Posted August 8, 2009 I recently got a pair of Road King mufflers to put on my 2005 RSV, it was a very simple conversion except 1 thing. I need to find a exhaust sheild that will cover where the pipes meet the muffler. Anyone have any ideas?????
solo rider Posted August 8, 2009 #2 Posted August 8, 2009 you could cut the heat shields off you're stock pipes and rivet them to you're new ones
Cougar Posted August 8, 2009 #3 Posted August 8, 2009 this is what maybe your looking for? http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/pict/3502359256868080_1.jpg http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Royal-Star-Venture-Harley-Davidson-Muffler-VTwin-Clamps_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em14Q2el1262QQhashZitem518bb01cb6QQitemZ350235925686QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Not sure were to get them anymore though. I used them on my change over and they have been great and look good too! Jeff
Bloodbought1 Posted August 9, 2009 #4 Posted August 9, 2009 They are still on ebay. That is where I got mine a few weeks ago when I did this conversion. They look good and work great. HTH
The Black Pearl Posted August 9, 2009 #5 Posted August 9, 2009 I did the same conversion to the rk pipes I took the heat sheilds off the stock pipes and pop riveted them back on the rk's look great sound great
royalstarjac Posted August 9, 2009 #6 Posted August 9, 2009 If you don't want to possibly re use your stock muffs in the future you can cut the shields off and use them on the RKs or buy a pair of the clamps. I believe there's a how to in the tech section on re using the stock shields.
davecb Posted August 10, 2009 #7 Posted August 10, 2009 I have the RK mufflers and I just left them the way they were. I like the look. You do not have to put a shield over it...
Freebird Posted October 18, 2019 #9 Posted October 18, 2019 No, they vary between models but most are only slightly louder than the stock mufflers.
BratmanXj Posted October 18, 2019 #10 Posted October 18, 2019 Are the Road Star mufflers really loud? No, they vary between models but most are only slightly louder than the stock mufflers. Just to verify Roadflyer, Harley Davidson "Road King" mufflers, or any touring model muffler Harley as they are all interchangeable. I have Screaming Eagle take-offs from a Road Glide. Ultra Classic, Classic, Street Glide are all the same. Aftermarket pipes from Rush, Vance & Hines, etc. that fit a touring bike will work too but those tend to be louder. I do not believe that Yamaha Road Star mufflers will fit on a Venture.
