first gen, RK mufflers

Any one put rk mufflers on the fist gen ? need some brackets or know how to make them.

Looked on the site and could not find any, all that i found was on 2nd gen.

It takes a little doing but I have done it and so have a few others, I came up with my own mounting. 1st I had to make and adapter pipe to go from the muffler to the collector, it has to have about a 16 degree bend in it, a muffler shop can do that for you. Then you need to cut it down to the proper length to get the ends of the RK's to end where you want them to.

For the brackets I went to Lowes and got some 1/2 inch square steel tube to use as my mounting brackets. Drilled holes in the back end to match the RK muffler, cut to length and mounted it to the back of the bracket that the stock muffler was bolted to, I cut off three sides so I had just one flat piece 3/4 inch long with a hole drilled in it to accept the bolt on the back side of the mount. I have attached detailed pics. Hope this helps

Thanks dragon rider, Did the pipe at the muffler shop allready, 15*, close enought i think, got them on the bike without the bracket, dont know if there is enought room for that bracket, mine is an 86, not much room under the bags, gives me some ideas, these pipes are a little deferent than the RK pipes, the baffels are deferent and they have a turn down extenision on the end, fine print says they are for mod FL 1340, same mounting brackets as the RK pipes and the same size as the RK, bought them off of craigs list, he told me what they came off of but I dont remember what model he said, there are so many deferent harley models I cant keep up with them, they sound great and did not even have to mess with the baffels.

thanks again
