Will I need spacers when running true duals?
Switching to Rinehart True duals on my '11 Road Glide custom. Will I need to add spacers to the floorboards for additional clearence? I had to do this on my '02 Road King, not sure if the newer bikes were the same.
Thanks in advance.

The V&H Power Duals come with a spacer for the right rider floorboard.

Why are you doing Rinehart TDs? I'm getting rid of mine, and getting the Power Duals. Sorry, if you've had them before, and know what they are. Just my opinion, because of my "experience" with them on my 103 Ultra, over the last 6 weeks. I hate 'em.

Read some of your other post and can't see why just adding true duals added that much more heat!

I'm going to search your posts to read about your dislikes. But I had no problems with them on the Road King. I loved the looks and they sound great. Just on the old bike I had to install 3/4" spacers for floorboard clearence.

I found out that it probably isn't the Rineharts giving me all the extra heat. It's probably just tuning. The dealer where I bought the bike (I just found out) doesn't even HAVE a dyno. They have a truck that comes around once in awhile. Maybe I was never on a dyno at all. They're not helping me out at all. I'm going somewhere else to get tuned, but a couple guys have told me that they like V&H Power Duals a whole lot better. I'm going with it.

When I got my bike it had Rinehart TD's on it. When I added HarleyGoodies Floorboard spacers, I found that there was already some spacers on the right side. I replaced them with the new ones. Now it makes since.

I think I just bought a bike with SE TD. The owner said he didn't think it had been tuned. Is there a way to check?
Sorry if this is considered a hi-jack.
