Harley muffler questions for my 09 RSV

[csogbk]

Had a few questions I was hoping someone could answer:

 

Will any Harley touring bike mufflers work or are the Road Kings prefered?

 

Can they be any year, I understand newer ones have a catalytic converter in them, does this affect sound or my RSVs engine?

 

Will adding these mufflers require any engine adjustments?

 

Are the brackets sold on the classifieds page still being made?

 

Thank you for any assistance!!!!

Any off the FL series.

Only the left one has the converter in it. There should be no ill effects from running a converter on one side, but it may sound "funny".

 

Will adding these mufflers require any engine adjustments?

no, the backpressure comes from the restrictive headpipes, not the mufflers.

I would assume that if they're still being advertised, that they're still being made. You would have to contact the seller.

Negativo when I asked the seller a few weeks ago, he isn't making them anymore.

PO of my 03 welded some short brackets to the saddle bag frame. I'm out of town so can't take photo but its a real simple piece of straight bar stock piece. Welded at two points with two holes I think.

Where do you see these in the classifieds? I just looked and didn't see them listed any longer. I was going to delete the ad.

There are instructions for making your own brackets here on the site.

Freebird I must have been looking at a link to an old post, my apologies. I got a set off EBay for $24.00 and will use P clamps to install. Still need topic up the V Twin clamps. Going to see if one of my local HD shops have them. Thanks for all the input guys!!

I've seen the clamps on ebay also. I always search under Royal Star Venture under the parts section.
