bike nut Posted February 26, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 26, 2012 I am installing Road King mufflers on my 83 Venture Royale.I had no trouble getting exhaust pipes between the muffler and the manifold.My question is does anyone know a way to fab the rear brackets?I have an idea but am looking for other options.Also can the mufflers be drilled out or will it cause problems?With the new mufflers on it sounds pretty good but is still quiet.If they can be drilled out,what is the best way?Any help would be much appreciated.

1rooster Posted February 26, 2012 Share #3 Posted February 26, 2012 I don't know about a bracket for the 83.I did install Road Kings on my 86 without any brackets.i took out the rear bolt holding the saddle bags on and replaced the metric with a longer standard bolt.I screwed the bolt straight into the threaded bracket on the road kings.i drilled out the RK mufflers but they are still not much louder than the stock but they do have a little rumble to them.
