That spacer comes with the kit if you ordered part # 16849 .. hope this helps.

Looks great!! I have the Kury curved, from my SGS that I traded in. Will it still fit on the CVO?

Not sure....I know the plate mounts are different from the standard model.

I just installed power duals on my bike with the supplied spacers and it still touches the heat shield on both sides of the floorboard arm...no adjustment room. May have to either grind down the heat shield a little or add a second spacer.

Nice!

Nice looking bike!

Regarding your power duals I have the same headers on mine, however I noticed my right floorboa d vibrates more than it should, and thought the mounting arm must be touching the exhaust ,so I decided to take a look,and on removal the rear floorboard arm was touching the heat shield and also the exhaust itself and has ground a groove into it!
Can you tell me does yours have plenty of clearance?
I loosened the heat shield but there is not enough adjustment to stop it touching ,so my only option was to shim the mounting arm out with a couple of washers.
Any one else have this problem?

I ended up grinding the slot for the floorboard arm bigger on the heat shield. The blurry spot on the chrome is just clear coat to protect the metal. I would rather do that than have it rub...and thats with the spacers

[toddwebber]

Everything else on the power duals fit perfect, and I have installed them on 2 other bikes. This bike seems like the angle of the floorboard arms is different..doesn't line up correctly to the slot in the heat shield. Even if I had of doubled up on the spacers it would have hit. The chrome did hold up great to the grinding though, and is not even noticeable when everything is put back together.

Now I'm interested ....I'm gonna go look at mine, I will report back.

It looks like the installer rolled in a little...like tapped with a hammer because it's a little waves.  It doesn't look the best, but it fits and you can't see it. So obviously, Vance and Hines needs to cut the slot more.

[toddwebber]

Agreed

Thanks plustiano!,
I have looked into this in depth as this spacer in my opinion is not thick enough to give satisfactory clearance it's only 1/8" thick,
this spacer I found the dealer had left on my road king Cvo I traded , hence my new bike did not have it fitted so it was rubbing and caused vibration and ground a groove into my floorboard arm and heat shield to which my dealer is now going to replace with new bits.

Anyway more to the point I spoke with vance and Hines and they do a separate spacer kit especially for the Cvo's as the rear arm is thicker,

Part no: 16937 is what you need guys! And is available from "Dennis Kirk" he has stock all others are on back order till 26th may, so hurry guys!

Now in the literature that comes with the duals it mentions you only need a longer bolt for the Cvo models at the front mount, not true in my opinion, this thicker spacer kit I mentioned should be supplied in addition with the other parts, with the thinner spacer I think it gives ok clearance on standard models as floorboard arm is different.
I suggest all those who have  power/true duals from vance and Hines on this Cvo check again clearance even with this thin  spacer supplied in the exhaust kit ...it's not enough! Under load the engine can move easily 1/4" in any direction so allowance needs to be made for this.

$25 from Dennis Kirk gets you piece of mind!.....mines ordered....hope this helps pipsqueeks

X2 absolutely!

They also need to enlarge the slot near the brake pedal arm as that is a wee bit too close for my liking..... Get yourself this spacer kit I mentioned previously it should help!

[toddwebber]

It should help, but the slot cut out is at the wrong angle. Vance and Hines should have a different heat shield/different part number for the cvo's or list it as such. I'm sure they are aware of this. I hate bandaids on a bike this expensive. I'll order one and try it even though I grinded the slot larger. a little extra space couldn't hurt. Thanks for posting that
