RickyP Posted November 25, 2018 #26 Posted November 25, 2018 I've done it to my Roadstar I had and my Venture. I like a little sound, but didn't like the loud sound my Vance and Hines were putting out. I do like the sound coming out of my Venture now, not to loud, but not to soft. I drilled 1/2 inch holes at 12-3-6 and 9 looking at the pipe from the rear. Bob Where did you find Vance and Hines or did you have to make them fit?
YamahaLarry Posted November 26, 2018 #27 Posted November 26, 2018 I recently installed RK mufflers on my 09 RSV. They are a VERY tight fit. I did purchase the wide clamps from the local HD dealer, but got the pipes for free. As for the mounting brackets, you can make them yourself for well under $20 by purchasing 2 ea 2" x 12" plates from Lowes, Tractor Supply, etc. It will require 3 holes drilled in the plate and cut it off to 11" long. Some say you need 1/4" plate, but that is way overkill. I used a 1/8" plate (HR steel) and it's very rigid. You can find the locations for the holes by using Google.
