I am new to the forums and new to hd.I have been reading and learning on here for months.This is without a doubt the most knowledgable,informative forum I,ve found by far. I am installing rush 1.75 slipons on my 07 deluxe this weekend. Do the stock heat shields just bolt back over the new mufflers? Any first hand experiance would be greatly appreciated.

 

I put rush slipons on my fxstc,stock shields fit.I don't believe that your system is any different than mine.

Thanks for the help.

 

The fit will be no problem.....good luck

 

I also read a post about sealing the joint with a sensor safe copper sealant. I bought new clamps,is the sealant advisable?

 

Mine are stock also over Rush slip ons. I showed Rush and they seemed suprised. I did not use anything on the joint and used the clamps that came with the stock.

 

Great looking bikes guys! Thanks for everyones replys.

 

Shields went back on the Rush slipons on my Deluxe. I wasn't going to use them but after contemplating it for awhile I decided that 1) my wife would burn herself worse and/or melt more of her boot on my pipes than she already does on a regular basis and 2) in really hot weather I was a little concerned about a heat shieldless top pipe in proximity to the bottom of the saddle bag. Anyway, They look good.

 

put them on my 08 deluxe no problem just used the clamps.

 

OK, this may seem like a stupid question with an obvious answer, but where are the stock heat shields and how do they install over the new slip-ons?
