Smile New Harley Owner
Just got my first Harley 1999 Road King. It came with thunderheader exhaust system. It seems the paint job on it had its days! I want to remove the pipes to have them spray painted with heat retardant spray paint. Does any one know how tight the exhaust bolts should be at the heads? They were fairly loose when I removed them don't know it that was normal or just that some one forgot to tighten them.
