They should fit, I don't believe HD changed much on their big bike mufflers in the last 15 years. I have a set of slash cuts from a 2005 Road King on my RSV. You'll have to get a special clamp that will adapt from the metric pipes to a HD muffler. I know their is some posts about it on the site, You'll just have to do some searching.

Thanks! I read some info about the clamps.

Yep. Have a pair on my RSV..

 

Yes, the do sound good. And yes, you will need to get the clamps.

I went cheap and used hose clamps. Aint pretty but worked. Only thing on the HD pipes was there was a couple years there they had a Cat in one side. Somewhere around 2009 ish I think.

Thanks for mentioning this. I have to check that. These pipes are from 2017. OEM-number says 'no Cat'.

Also there should be drawings on the internet for the fabricated metal brackets to fit HD mounts to the Venture mounts.  Some guys have used P-clamps around the saddlebag brackets with good luck too.

Someone on this site made brackets. There also was a diagram with info on building your own.

I thought I just saw a post recently???? Memory...first thing to go as we age....LOL!

I just use 3/4" P clamps from home depot and a couple 1/4"x20 bolts in the HD factory bracket. Making those hockey stick bracket was going to be a day project. Once I checked into it the P clamps were easy and cheap.

I found the drawings of the brackets, thanks guys!

Brother-in-law works in a machine shop and I'm an engineer with AutoCAD.... gave him a scale drawings and had brackets the next day.
