Yes, many folks like the FP3 (now superseded by the FP4). Having a good tune on the 2007 and later Twin Cams & Sportys makes a significant improvement. 👍😎👍
I just installed a Sharkroad 2-1 exhaust on my Road Glide. I noticed the change in power in the lower gears 1-4. Even above when i installed the hi flow air filter which increased the performance significantly. The air filter increased performance. But those pipes literally woke my bike up. Its a differe t ride than the bike i rode off from the Harley dealership.
Thanks, glad you are finding the videos useful. We appreciate your business, and glad you are liking the parts. Wishing you many miles of smiles on your Tri Glide. 👍😎👍
I love your comments about the get back whip. It looks dumb and dangerous for the rider if it gets caught somewhere you wouldn't want it to. Plus its a good way to get charged with something especially with all the dash cams out there now.
Good show. Make a plan, be sure you have the right tools, follow recommended torque values. My number 1 is I always disconnect the battery or pull the main fuse, I hate surprises and electrical fires
Yes, those are expensive. Most folks find that spending 1/4 the price and using the Relocation Kit at the following link will give them all the extra room they want. www.dkcustomproducts.com/footpeg-mounting-hardware-c117-329.htm Thanks for the add. 👍😎👍
The only things the HD warranty current voids is using a tuner, towing a trailer, or doing a mod that causes one of their parts to break. Look at how the FTC has cracked down on their illegal warranty practices in this video- ua-cam.com/video/M-QdwkZ3_RQ/v-deo.html You can also do what so many of us do...ignore the HD warranty and get a real Warranty. Here is a video on them- ua-cam.com/video/Hqkxag-S1a8/v-deo.html
Thank you, glad you are liking the videos! We appreciate your business and hope you are enjoying the benefits of the parts you've gotten. I dunno where Dwayne keeps those girls he puts in the videos! 😀
Welp nice video of course, but my comfort triangle on my 21 bob 114, is a set of forward controls, along with a Saddleman profiler seat, and some breakout drag bars. But for the stock exhaust, I just ordered some of your 258 TTI's, which should be good enough until i decide on another exhaust.
Very nice! Sounds like you are well on your way to making it your own! Thanks for your business, we appreciate it. I believe you are going to be well pleased with the 258's in performance increase, and hopefully the sound. 👍
Put big radius pipes on my 2016 softail with 103 high output. I immediately noticed I lost bottom end low rpm power. It used to have an instant hit of stump pulling power at low rpm. My engine braking is quite a bit less now too. I kept the stock 103HO breather but have a KN filter. Will a tune get that torque hit back ?? I wasn’t worried about gaining any power….but I didn’t expect to lose power.
Yes, the TTI's will bring back and improve your low - mid range torque. You can see a report on how to choose the correct size TTI for you at this link - www.dkcustomproducts.com/choosing-the-right-size-thunder-torque-inserts.htm You can see a written report on Exhaust at this link that you may find useful/interesting - www.dkcustomproducts.com/harley-exhaust-myths-and-facts.htm You can see the TTI's at this link - www.dkcustomproducts.com/thunder-torque-inserts-c57-346.htm I am sure you could get the power back with a tune as well, but if you aren't looking for more power, just to get that low- mid range torque back, the TTI's would be a much cheaper option than a tune.

Question regarding exhaust, can a header pipe be welded on the bike, I have a 15 road king with the Vance and hines power duals header, I found a crack on the back of the x pipe, thank you
Hear me out, I'm not being confrontational or claiming to be a know it all. I'd remove the header, get a set of Screaming Eagle gaskets at any dealer for about $10. Part # 17048-98. Or as stated before, disconnect battery, ground thru header, but I'd also unplug the regulator, the ignition control module, and the TSM or TSSM, just to be safe. It doesn't cost anything but 15 minutes of your time. Again, just my humble opinion.
You do not need a new tune for your 2021 M8. The M8's do run great from the factory, and still run great after upgrading to a free flowing exhaust and High Flow Air Cleaner. Getting an after market tune would maximize the performance, but is not necessary. You can see a written report we've done at this link - www.dkcustomproducts.com/milwaukee-eight-dyno-charts-other-interesting-info-dk-m8-rpt.htm You can see a video on the subject at this link - ua-cam.com/video/Lb_57Z_Ipms/v-deo.html Thank you for commenting! 👍😎👍 MB
The ventilator Air Cleaner on your 2023 RG is pretty free flowing, but your bike is breathing into your Air Cleaner which is feeding hot oily oxygen depleted air back into your intake. If you add an external breather system your Air Cleaner will flow better and you will see a 8-15° drop in temps after installing an EBS. You can hear more about EBS at this link - ua-cam.com/video/FbnI2V7A2c0/v-deo.html Here is a written report on the EBS - www.dkcustomproducts.com/overview-of-external-breather-systems-ebs.htm Here is a video on how to choose the correct EBS - ua-cam.com/video/85jEZjX6Dhw/v-deo.html Here is a written report on How to Choose the Correct EBS - www.dkcustomproducts.com/getting-the-right-external-breather-systems-ebs-for-your-bike.htm Please feel free to reach out with any questions; Support@DKCustomProducts.com 662-252-8828 Thank you for commenting!😎 MB

I'm interested in getting the Vance and Hines Short Shorts for my 2020 Low Rider S. I want a simple easy to install and easy to use tuner.

Just got a power vision and Bassani RR3 for my M8. Been debating on the external breather. Is Trasks CheckM8 enough or should I vent the breather bolts as well.
Sounds like you're getting your M8 setup nicely. 👍 Only an External Breather System, like seen in the link below, completely eliminate all hot, oily, oxygen depleted air from going into the combustion chambers. www.dkcustomproducts.com/breather-systems-c21.htm Vented dipsticks and transmission cover vents do NOT take the place of the breathers. There is still hot, oily, oxygen depleted air being fed into the intake. The folks that sell vented dipsticks and trans cover vents, have it right in their product description that they do not prevent all that crap from going into your intake. Here is a copy and paste from the Trask website- "This will reduce the oil exiting from the head breathers..." IF you have an older M8, with the older oil pump and you are concerned about sumping...OR, IF you have a built engine with higher compression, then it may be beneficial to do an EBS And a vented dipstick or trans cover vent.
If you have seen these TABs, they are just a solid metal pipe inside a chrome can. Essentially just a very expensive straight pipe. Probably OK with the stock head pipes and catalytic converter, but may be difficult to tune with open headers without the Thunder torque inserts.
Everyone's ear is different on what sounds good. Here is a video where we talk about how to choose the right exhaust for your bike the first time. ua-cam.com/video/H681dl2X_f4/v-deo.html
You do not. Here is a video you may find interesting/useful- ua-cam.com/video/Lb_57Z_Ipms/v-deo.html&t Here is a written report with some great info- www.dkcustomproducts.com/milwaukee-eight-dyno-charts-other-interesting-info-dk-m8-rpt.htm Will it run a little better with a tune? Yes. However, it is not dangerously lean with the OEM tune. The link above shows the BIG improvement with an Outlaw Air Cleaner, and the relatively small improvement with a tune.
Yes, agreed. Everyone is different. Myself, on a touring model, I can't ride 30 minutes with the stock bars without my left shoulder starting to hurt. So that is one of the first things I do.
I love these videos, but one question I had an intake on my 19 sportster but ran the tuna can from a 90s and I'm a year rounder, rain or shine, I just traded for an RG 107 im worried about rain getting into the aftermarket filter, how can I replace the box with something other than an elbow? Most rain socks I've seen were for the elbow
Glad you are liking the videos. 👍 We have many air cleaners for your M8 RG that do not need a rain sock, but are good hiflow performance air cleaners. You can see them at the following link.
