Exhausts Cats

[WildBill2566]

Can anyone inform me, does the 09 RoadKing have a cat fitted to the head pipe?

Thanks

I would think not, all Cats are normally fitted further down the exhaust system, ie after the header pipes.
All previous H-D Cat elements have been located within the silencers themselves on the bikes they have been fitted too.
A check of a parts book would confirm this.

It looks as If I stand corrected.

In an effort to route more heat away from the rider and passenger’s delicate legs, the rear exhaust header now curves forward before joining the front header in a collector containing the catalytic converter.

Moving the cat from the mufflers to the collector means the two-into-one-into-two exhaust system produces fewer emissions (incoming gases are closer to the exhaust port and therefore hotter) and mufflers can be changed (sigh, as they undoubtedly will be) without affecting emission levels.

the 09 touring range has a 2 - 1 - 2 exhaust system, the cat is located in the " 1 " part AFAIK.
