@@bradleydavis6460hey man, can you please kindly explain a bit clearer? You mean screw the bolt into the hole for mounting quiet baffles so it sticks out inside of the muffler? How long should the bolt be? My Sportster 48 (2021) decel-popping as hell after installing the V&H mufflers and DragSpecialities washable air cleaner.
My Sportster had open drag pipes and ran rich af no matter what (Super E’s don’t like open drag pipes apparently), still popped due to a lack of backpressure.
I did a 120hp hammer kit in my 883 loved that bike, great for 1/4 mile strips and burning other bikes on the street. I ride a roadster 1200 now and having a blast in the mountain passes, I'll wear the top end out and do another hammer kit on the roadster at some point!! 👍👍👍
I have a 1275 top end on a 883. Don't forget to change your clutch. To get better top end speed change sprockets. I can roll smoothly at 135 mph and still have torque. Also put some drag pipes on it. The next thing I'm gonna do to my bike is put the Trask turbo kit on it. It'll give ya 60 to 80 more Horse power.
@@thaddeusp.2431 Better believe it. I've had all kinds of bikes and you can build those sportsers twice as strong as those big bikes. It's like pulling up with a S10 Chevy with a 350 in it. I bust them big bikes a-ss for em all the time. Go get you one and do everything I said to it and you'll see. I have 4 Harley Davidsons and the Sportster is built to the max and will wear out my 3 other bike's.
@@thaddeusp.2431 my sporty did 120 stock without a fairing on stock gearing. I changed gearing for more low end torque, the opposite is possible especially with a 1250 or 1275 kit.
Clutch spring plate may be shot, 1st sign is not being able to keep the clutch adjusted. May want a better set of plates and a higher rated diaphragm spring.

Man, been looking for another 1200 to cafem been funding a whole butt ton of 883's for cheap cheap... very tempted to be down another week or 2, get an 883 and just big bore it.
Big bore it to 1275. Put new clutch in it. Then change sprockets to get better top end speed. Thats what I've done to my 883. Now I'm getting ready to put the Trask turbo on it and that'll give me 60 to 80 more Horse Power. You can build those 883 sportster bikes cheap and they are bad to the bone.
Hey, that's an '03, 100th anni model. I have that too. How did you remove the vibes from the engine? My 883C reduces my bones to mush between 55~80mph. I like the idea of converting it to 1200cc. Was yours done as a crate replace or bore out? Thanks. 🏍💨👍🏼
The vibrations don't go away, it's a solid mounted engine, if it's really bothersome you can get isolated/rubber pegs and grips, and a nice seat. I always saw it as a free foot massage 🤷♂️ I put in a hammer kit, full video is on my channel.
@@mikeenglish7063 I ended up trading it in and upgrading to a 103. After the overheat and top end rebuild I was still uneasy with the question mark of potential damage to the bottom end. The low rider is much better for what we like to do 🤙
Yup, at the end I ran Racetech springs+emulators, +2 rods up front, and some surprisingly nice drag specialties in back. Nothing crazy, but rode nicely.
I like that shifter peg where did you get it? Also does it help get rid of shifter mark the peg usually leaves? I got a rubber one and it marks the hell out of my boot that’s why I only ride with my boots
If I was going distance at fwy speeds I'd hit reserve at about 85-90 miles, empty before 120. 883 would do like 140 ish. Not a huge difference, just got in the habit of fueling up around 80 miles.
Sweet mod. Wish I could do it myself but I am not a mechanic. Problem is if you can't do your own work that project is pretty damn expensive. Like $2000 plus. You are driving to fast in the rain bro.
One tank gets me about 115 miles including reserve, but I typically fill up on the 100. If I'm doing flat out freeway commuting the whole time it's a bit less.
Hammer performance makes 1250 and 1275 kits. The liners on the 1250 jugs are much thicker. I think I would go with the 1250. Like 850.00 but those maybe old prices. For a little extra money they will put the pistons in the jugs. That's what I would do. They have a bunch of dyno charts.
Hope your lower end flywheels don't shift on your "pressed together" crank assembly. Why do you think Harley rubber mounted them? Leave an 883 engine alone, it has plenty of torque and will last. Will do 70mph all day. Crank it up to a big bore is a total waste.......
A Ridgid mount sporty is the ideal bike to build you don't lose torque like a rubber mounted there also 70 some pounds lighter and still have the trap door transmission...drag guys loves these bikes and while yes 883 is a fine machine as is . Nothing wrong with building one up like people do with a mustang. Some of us are just more performance oriented. And ya mentioned last? It's still gonna last these motors are bullet proof and what he's done isn't putting it under any extreme pressure if anything the motor doesn't work as hard anymore. ....bike sounds good man ride on
I hope you are around when they print my name. Since i have been a retired senior citizen for 3 years. But please don't push things along. Death finds us all soon enough. I just sold my zx-14. I figure at almost 70 it is time for me to slow down and enjoy life at a slower pace. Now i'm looking for a harley ultra classic. Set the cruise control. Crank up the stereo and let the good times roll. As for you. Set yourself a goal. Be determined to live long enough to get at least one social security check from the government. At least i was. After all the years i paid in.
Because of the gearing it could stay neck and neck with 114 baggers up to about 100, but a 114 street bob would pull ahead at the top of 2nd. I think an efi 1250 with a good tune could do even better tho. As far as revmax a 1250 sport bike could smoke any big twin 😂 doesn't count when it's an entirely different engine.
If you need to keep up with big twins your riding with the wrong guys , buy a big twin , ive been riding a stock 883 for ever and i keep up fine but im not out for speed , im out to enjoy my ride , forcing riders to go beyond there comfort level is just stupid , if i need to boost my bike to keep up then im riding with the wrong people , mark my words speed kills as ive lost many friends from riding hard living fast ,,,,sure you think your cool but how cool is 200 bikers following a hurst ....ya been there done that not cool at all ....with age comes wisdom, apparently your all to young to understand ........
Decel pop is usually due to a lean condition. Often a small exhaust leak.
Not necessarily. This is from no baffles. Put a nut and bolt going up through each pipe. Usually solves it

Thank you! It has really changed the bike for the better, absolutely love it!
Looks like fun, only driven on the 2 then onto Angels Forrest Hwy headed up to Willow Springs.
It's a great ride, turns aren't too tight, but if your at a good speed they aren't very forgiving.
Keep the crossover a d Run lollipops in the exhaust, torque increase is instantly noticable. And pulls harder then 2 In to 1
I was just kidding I’m sure I’ll be fine more importantly I’m sure you’re happy with it enjoy the ride

Did you do any mods to the stock suspension to keep up with the additional power?
Yup, at the end I ran Racetech springs+emulators, +2 rods up front, and some surprisingly nice drag specialties in back. Nothing crazy, but rode nicely.

Bike looks great!
Whats it do to the fuel range?

Never use a timing light adjust timing to ear, if you hear valve ticking snap it back a hair…. Pop free baby😊
Call that FOG? You can see half a mile!!
I gor the same bike, im.gonna rip the set up after watching
Enjoy! They become little rippers 😂
Ditch the music. What does it add?
Popping is because you remove the baffles the lollipops won't stop that
Good stuff! 😎👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you! Hey did we meet at IMS?
@@ZozzerRidez yes Sir… I was mostly hanging with Shadetree and Chey at the show.
What bars are you running?
Those were 10" Murdocks from biltwell with a tracker bar not sure the brand
How many times did you have to fill up in this video 🤣🤣
Same as everybody else. About a 200 mile ride, 2 fills, and half a tank left at the end.
love your tall sissy bar !! wher dit you get it from ?
Thanks! Had it made locally. Next video I'll be going over everything I've done, his info will be included.
Sweet mod. Wish I could do it myself but I am not a mechanic. Problem is if you can't do your own work that project is pretty damn expensive. Like $2000 plus. You are driving to fast in the rain bro.
Parts alone start at 1400 if hate to see labor cost. Same with bars and cables, simple but time consuming and labor intensive
The labor can be done on your own. It’s very user friendly
What milage do you get in one tank
One tank gets me about 115 miles including reserve, but I typically fill up on the 100. If I'm doing flat out freeway commuting the whole time it's a bit less.
How do I get a 1250 kit for my 1999 sportster 1200
There are lots of kits available, hammer sells them for all models.
Hammer performance makes 1250 and 1275 kits. The liners on the 1250 jugs are much thicker. I think I would go with the 1250. Like 850.00 but those maybe old prices. For a little extra money they will put the pistons in the jugs. That's what I would do. They have a bunch of dyno charts.
Did u convert that from 883 or 1200?
Was originally an 883
Will be worth it if I have a 1200
Yes definitely @@sn95_blacksheep82

Unfortunately it did not live long enough to get tuned properly.

Has plenty of torque 🤣🤣 a single rider can't maintain freeway speeds uphill so I'd say no, it does not. If you want a stock bike good for you 👍
