Roadhouse Dooley question

caddman11 · 10-09-2008, 11:58 AM

Anyone here have Roadhouse Dooleys with lower bag guards on their Nomad? Looking at a set with Cadillac tips and want to know if I'll have any problems with lower bag guards and the ends of the Dooleys not giving me clearance. ???

what you need to worry about is the size of the roadhouse
muffler bodies.my lower saddle bag gaurds would not work
with the cobra tru-dauls because the 4" mufflers were larger
then stock and would not allow enough clearance.

I have a 2006 with Cobra True Duels and the lower bag guards too, not a problem in my case, what's up with that??? ???

They were bought out Doc, and they are being made by a company at lake elsinore in CA. The response time is lot quicker than it was, had mine within 3 days of ordering. Good stuff, they came home with me in my suitcases!

the lower bag gaurds that i bought on ebay were apparantly
after market items and not kawasaki oem.perhaps that is why
i had clearance problems

anytime you change to a 4 inch muffler watch for clearance to your read diff drain plug. I have to loosen 2 bolts to muffler and move out a little everytime, what a PAIN>

Thanks for all the info guys, I'll let you know what's going in a week or so. I think I got a deal I couldn't refuse.

I noticed on the PCIII site that they have a map for the Roadhouse along with a Big Air Kit. They don't have a map for the V&H with a Big Air Kit. It makes me wonder if performance wise the Roadhouse is the better pipe.
