Thanks for the information! I appreciate it!

Squidley, I have a friend that is willing to make me the bracket necessary to mount the RK Classic muffler on my 99 RSV. However, he doesn't have any SS flat stock laying around, so he's offered to make the bracket out of 1/4" aluminum and anodize it for me to help prevent corrosion. Do you think that there will be any stability/strength/heat issues with using the 1/4" aluminum? Also, before I read enough to learned that it was better to use pre-2005 RK stock mufflers, I had already purchased a pair of 2007 RK Classic mufflers from a local HD dealer. The tech that I spoke with said that HD received complaints regarding the catalytic converters in the 2006 mufflers, so they removed them and modified the mufflers a little in 2007. He didn't believe that the 2007 RK muffler contained catalytic converters. I have to take his word on it, because I don't know what the catalytic converter would look like, or where it is located in the muffler. If it is present, it sounds like I can still drill it out and use these pipes. Is there a catalytic converter in each RK muffler? Any insight? Thanks, Cntryboy
