brilliant description ! yes and I will admit in the winter we are having it was welcome. hope it doesn't ruin the structure of the gel though

@@theobviouschicken excellent point on the possible affect heat may have on the structure of the gel... might be email to Saddleman worthy. we cover the wife's saddleman every time it's in the sun.

😀 yeh but you get more with centimeters. 9 inches is 22 cm and you know bigger numbers is more ! thanks for watching !

I dont have to run away from fumes. Volume of the exhausts but fumes no.

yes it would flop around. The spring if cut would no longer be there to hold it closed ( or in my case open as I modded it ) . Thanks for watching.

we do actually will look into it. Computer is the issue here. The headlight is ok but the canbus error means the red light is on all the time. so I dont know when there is a real issue! thanks for watching.

Sort of. There was a difference initially but like all things you get used to it. The lower end was a little stronger i suppose. I am sure there are gains on a dyno but basically the average bloke on the road isnt riding a dyno . I'not sure my butt dyno can feel the difference of 1 - 2 hp. The difference in tone was the key here. And really the only reason I installed them if I am brutally honest. The mod was cheap and easy to reverse if you dont like them. I will say The volume increase has become a problem . Might do a quick long term video with the pros and cons actually. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for insightful comment. Its been taken aboard in the same manner it was written.

Hello Robert i had them the wrong way round. Have been playing with the best options and they are now not only the correct way but are now sitting at around 50 - 60 degrees perpendicular to the air flow. Seemed to be the best for me.

Approx 280 AUD all said and done. And about 1 extra year of my life when I thought I had broken it all ! thanks for watching

One item you should check and they do not tell you is when you install the new contacts for the plunger Is to put a straight edge across the top of the solenoid housing and measure the distance down to the edge of the contacts where solenoid plunger contacts it. The reason being is that the contact bends are not equal as they are a stamped bend and with that being so the plunger contacts the higher contact firmly but does not provide a good contact on the slightly lower one causing deeper pitting as the voltage is arking from plunger to contact. I usually have to remove the contacts several times until I get the both of them to the same depth. What you have done will work but the wear on the larger depth contact will be accelerated

@@DevilDog59 Thanks for that headsup. Hoping I wont need to take the starter motor out ever again ( leave it for the next owner :D ) but will take that into consideration . So you shave down or bend the contact that is too high ? When i did what the manual said and put the plunger in without the springs it felt seated but of course I couldnt see for sure.

@@theobviouschicken all you have to do is slightly tap it with a hammer at the bend. They are not both equal to a 90 degree bend. Do not remove any material. Just passing on some tribal knowledge.

I saw that but weirdly I want to keep the bars clean as possible. Well other than the rubber duck that is ! also the shovel connection. Thanks for watching

The breather system in place from the factory on the FXDC takes the slop and shoves it into the intake to get reburnt. This means that oil is coating the top of the pistons and spark plugs. Further to this sometimes you will get too much and it will then slop out of the airfilter. Deleting the factory breather will have it slopping down the side of the engine as the bolts will just be open. The method in the video is a way of taking the slop and channelling it to another area either a catch can or to atmosphere. Taking it away from the engine means the engine isnt intaking oil/slop/crap into the intake which really should only be air and fuel. Hope this helps

probably should but that money can go into the pot called shovelhead!

Modifying stock systems have two advantages, cost and legal appearance. The modifications are usually inexpensive or free, and if you get stopped by a cop it's much harder for him to make a case against you compared to having aftermarket exhaust.

Turned them around to 45 degrees and that seems to be the sweet spot. I reckon these. Will get more for the second bike when that arrives. Probably/hopefully a shovel actually.

I think I would like a carb dyna/sporty/shovel/iron/knuckle harley over this EFI nonsense If I were truly honest. I dont like the fact that a computer can stop a bike from running because a sensor is faulty. Or having to deal with alarms etc. Praps for the second bike. Thanks for watching.

I had thought to convert to chain... but other than maintenance I shouldnt mod this bike any further I fell in love with it in its current form. The second bike though? ... :D

Agree might stick em up on Fb marketplace and see. Havent been 250 pounds+ for sometime now.

I was going to but the copper line was Way too long and I lack the skills to braize a flare onto cut copper line. So far its held up good. just ticked over 4000 kms and still working no leaks. Only issue is constantly looking at it when on the bike makes you look like you are looking at your nutsack all the time :D

Absolutely but suspect that might introduce too much back pressure. The only people that want to see that are my neighbours!

Yes and no. Installing them 90 degrees as in the video reduced decel pop to nothing. However I wanted a little more bass to the sound so rotated them 45 degrees this added a decel pop but only if I do something stupid like changing down way too early at speed. I rate them make a good sound and my bum dyno thinks its added a HP or 2 . I also like decel pop. I dont understand peoples dislike of it. So wasnt phased if it returned.

nope but i did have the engine over supported. To the point that I needed to reset the jacks underneath. Its on and the last 2000 kms ( i ride a lot ) has been ridiculously good. It almost handles as well as the cbr I had before. I am thinking of doing something under the tank soon and so might look at the top mount as it will be open to be seen. Thanks for watching!

Gopro hero 7 black , an iphone 5 headphone mic into a gopro microphone adapter. Simple and cheap. Looking to upgrade soon to either Dji action 4 or the new gopro 12 as the 7 lasts about 30 minutes per battery on 2.7k. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.

But nothing wrong with the way your bike sounds. Wouldn’t spend another dime on pipes myself. Of course, unless they would make the bike a keeper.

Reckon they would clear the footboards? Cant find any information on them I was looking at declarations as an option. And yes am thinking a full exhaust as here in Oz we have the active exhaust valve crap.

I couldn’t say. Mine came with a 2018 Heritage and they are snug as a button. As if they were made for it.

Wrong. You want zero back pressure. Back pressure is restriction. Can you explain how a restriction in gas flow leads to improved efficiency and power. It doesn't. What you want is as close to zero back pressure as possible with good gas velocity with minimal reversion. This is not the same as back pressure. I promise you, if you read any scientific book or article on back pressure, it's not what you want in a 4 stroke engine.

You have no idea of what you are talking about .... try it and see how well your bike run without zero back pressure ... Just chop off your exhaust , you don't need it .@@ArchimedeanEye

No back pressure , increase gas velocity, correct

Wrong. No motor needs back pressure. Reversion is the issue.

​@@alexanderrobinson7499 🤣.....

thanks mate it's my first Harley and it's been great (well dyna issue aside )

We're coming into winter and I might revisit cutting off the nipple if it fogs up. during the heat of the tropic summer here it was ok. Im not the sharpest tool in the shed. See a hole under the level of the oil in the gauge expect oil to leak out of it. Will order another before doing so as I rely on the gauge more than I thought. Thanks for commenting.

@@theobviouschicken It will be fine mine has never had a leak , my grandson was climbing on the bike age 4 and broke the lens that made it leak , i had to get a new one.

reckon I might still leave it on. Too many reports of leaking out. Admittedly on the arlen ness ones which are mounted where the vibration is the worst but had a look today that oil will leak as sure as my mum called be obvious. 👍

@@theobviouschicken I will do a video mine don't leak I been using one since 2002 21 years . I run a High flow oil pump 45 PSI

Been fine so far. Only done about 2000 kms on it so far but its been through rain , heat and 2 washes and I have stared at it viciously. I think that heat wrap stuff is working its magic though. No way would I have considered the plastic stuff without it. Thanks for watching!

It sort of does. so where the can is now it nestles in a u shaped cavity ( if seen from the top ) the oil mist goes up this cavity towards the seat. Since also keeping my oil at 3/4 to 6/8 full the amount of oil residue the catch can is getting has been far less. But yes it is something I intend to do something about. Its not a lot but enough to annoy me. It doesnt get onto the tyre though its more a sludgey/dirt combo but then I go offroad on the bike so that might help dry up the oil 😀

Get it right it's a motorcycle it's not what little dorks ride

haha they may save lives but it seems they ruin marriages ? :D the best idea I have had is I simply need a second bike. A shovel or a panhead. to get that sound I want. The M8 though gets super close to the sound. Ridden with some fellas with M8 and they have the rumble.

@@AeroplaneHeaven Yea Brother!

So the gauge is a mechanical gauge ( no electrical connections ) . It utilises a T piece from where the oil pressure sender is usually installed. I now have a tube that feeds oil directly to the gauge + the original electrical sender unit. From a modification point of view the harley has an extra T piece added. No change to the stock wires. The oil light on the gauge cluster still lights and would indicate a problem as before, the gauge lets me check it at start and during the ride and gives me more information than just " your bike is about to die shut off now or bad things can happen ". Hope this helps.

@@theobviouschicken Would you happen to know the dia. Of the threads and length of the adapter? Thank You Sir!

@@gypsywolffenrir9098 yes it is called " Aeroflow AFGA-32 Oil Pressure Gauge 1/4 Adaptor Can Use For Pro Lite " it's description says " These adapters allow you to add an electric oil pressure gauge while still retaining the stock warning light or gauge. The adapters are 2-1/2" long and fit inline between the engine and the stock oil pressure switch and have a 1/8"-27 NPT port on the side to suit all types of aftermarket applications like Pro-Lites or Turbos etc." Basically undo the stock electric sender - install adaptor - install the stock sender into the end port - in the new extra NPT port set up the gauge sender. It works on twincams in dyna's. Softails have a different frame and it might not work there due to length ? . Hope this helps.

@@theobviouschicken Thanks again! I love the idea and fact that it is lower and not going to rub on my leg all day! Keep her shiny side up my friend!

Hey fellas. Been tweaking the angles of the inserts. ( which have stayed in and are going to continue to stay ) Way more happier. What I am thinking is the issue is I want a shovelhead sound from a twincam 96 stage 1 and it aint gonna happen without cams + full exhaust + possible big bore etc. or probably the more intelligent option is to buy a shovelhead. Keep making the cool stuff I regularly watch your videos.

@@theobviouschicken Good to know you're happy with them! Yeah, to get the old potato potato sound on a Twin Cam, going with some loping cams will get you closer. as will a tune that is rich at a lower idle. Big bore and full exhaust is unlikely to help. Enjoy your ride!

i hear you there . I think a sporty + big twin is the perfect mix will be chopping the sporty though. Thanks for watching.

oddly enough I was looking at lowering the rear end for that sit down norcal look but its a hefty bike to do that style to it. Got the progressives on a list of things to do but got my eye on another bike before that! thanks for watching.

Just went outside to check them Seem to be ok. Iv only done about 8000 kms since the install but the hosing is actually over the top of them so if anything were to melt it would be the hosing and thats fine too. Thanks for watching.

Cold start. once warm the idle fluctuates between 950 and 1000 rpm. Thanks for watching

Oh I mean a second bike as well not replacement. I think most motorcyclists have a list of bikes they want. I'd kill for an 80's shovel or a classic muscle sports bike. but as well. This is my dream bike would have to be something very special to get me to sell this one that is for sure! Thanks for watching.

@@theobviouschicken yea older I get the smaller lighter old school look I find more appealing.
