Yeah...at least I'll know one way or the other if they fit. If the pipes haven't been modified then no doubt they're not going to fit. I agree with Snuffy 100%...they're LSD pipes. When you look at the image (thumbnail...pic 1) where they're advertised as RSD, it is a RSD bike, but older model. Can't really even tell if it's a K9 or not. I'm not going to just give up on them, I'll try to get them modified and then rechromed. We'll, making progress on other matters. Several orders came in today. I mentioned before that I had to have the mounting bracket refabricated (1/4" thicker) on the Tribal Forward Controls (Brake side) Pic 2. Fits perfectly...I'll send it with the next shipment to Spacecoast. Master Cylinder Rebuild kits from Curtis arrived so I can get started on those soon. I've already got all the replacement Bolts and new pads. Saw another item on Curtis' site today and ordered it (front & back). It's a Bleeder valve that as I understood it, will only allow air to escape while bleeding without fluid dripping everywhere. Also received Galvanized Spray Paint for the Black Oxide front Hub Bolts. I'll also Spray the front and rear Axle Inserts (whatever they're called). They're made of steel and had a small amount of rust on them. Throttle Cables will be here Friday (thanks Snuffy). I'll wait on installing the tank until I get the battery Box back. If there are any electrical issues with any of the new wiring I'll just have to pull it right back off so may as well wait on that. Enough to keep me busy for the weekend.
