Muffler mod on 1997 RSTD

[TeresaGood]

I just bought a '97 RSTD and would like to know the best way to modify the stock pipes on it to increase the sound. Or is there a better way to get what I want; i.e., Road King pipes, etc. Also, if I do any modification, will the carbs have to be adjusted. I want to keep it as simple as possible (and cheap).

 

Also, does anyone know if a set of SE mufflers off of a 1999 Harley Dyna Super Glide would work?

Teresa,

 

If I'm not mistaken your RSTD is a 4 pipe setup, so you would have to swap the entire pipe system with an RSV or later TD with the 2 into 1 pipe setup on each side. You could then install a set of R/K mufflers on that, but I dont know where the mounting points would be. They probably aren't the same as an RSV.

If anyone wants a set of Bubs slip-on's, I'll trade for something else... I'm just not fond of the way mine are styled. They look....very retro.

My '97 RSTD is a 2 pipe system. I found exact instructions on another Venture site showing how to modify the stocks pipes. I'm gonna do that this weekend and see how I like it.

 

Thanks
