Looks nice. For future reference you don't need thread sealant on AN fittings. They seal at the flare not using the threads.
BEWARE I ACCIDENTALLY STATED 120 FOOTPOUNDS FOR THE TORQUE ON THE HEADBOLTS. ITS 120 INCH POUNDS OR 10 FOOT POUNDS
120 inch pounds = 10 foot pounds
Where can I buy this
@@twostroke4life125 I bought it off ebay mate. You can buy it directly from the DK customs website.
@@TheGingybeardMan how do I do the mirror flip can you attach link to the part you need to flip the mirrors I belive it's small bracket but I can't find it qny where
@@twostroke4life125 if you have a look on my channel I did a vid on the mirror flip. All the part numbers are in the description of the vid
Thank you for the content. You have helped me so much with modding my street bob. You gave me the confidence to do my own bars to now ordering a oil pressure gauge to install. Great job and thank you!!!
I didn’t realize I could do this type of instal. Awesome product too. Thanks for posting
Thanks gingerbread man I'm getting ready to put on oil pressure gauge on my M8 2018 Street Bob thanks for the video this is Big Dave from Chicagoland area USA
Thank you for this, love the install how to and review! My wife went with the whiplash slipstream on her 18 FXBB and we absolutely LOVE THE SEAT and your channel! High five 🖐 brother
Cheers mate 🍺
thanks for this video greetings from Germany to you and a family
Nicely done broski 👍🏼🇺🇸... woot woot
Mate thanks heaps for this vid, i know you said goodbye to the old girl now but alot of your videos have been really helpful
Just wanted to say thanks for what you do.
Thanks mate 🍺
Looks good!
Sweet mod, a must do !!
Looks great. Like the heat shrink tubing idea 👍😎
Absolutely cleans it up.
Excellent video. Thank you!!!! Ride safe!!!!
Thanks mate 👍
Thanks, I'll check them out
Good job 👍👍
Yep that's on the menu, thanks brother
Another kick ass video ,
Awesome intro with the little guy .
Thanks mate, the little one loves his bikes just like his old man 👍
The Gingybeard Man my oldest girl she is 5 and she is starting to come around to liking bikes too .
@@ceec6923 how good is it when your little ones pick up the same interests you have 👍
The Gingybeard Man it’s the best brother !
Great vid keep up the good work 🤙🤙👍👍🇳🇿🇳🇿
Cheers Nath 🤙
Hmm I think I'll buy one looks cool...
That looks pretty cool , the video was clear as a bell , Sorry if I was negative on the last video man .
All good man 🤙, didn't seem negative you were just telling me the quality you saw on your phone 👍
Is the oil discharge plug you removed 1/4 or 1/8" NPT? And thanks for posting!
@TheGingyBeardMan can you do a ride review of the softail low rider s and give a comparison between that bike and yours? It'd be great to hear what you think about it. Thank you for your great vids!
Mate I'd love to but there's only one small dealership out my way and they dnt do demo rides unfortunately. Maybe sometime in the future I'll go to Sydney and do one, once this coronavirus buggers off 👍
I couldn’t find the model that fits our FXBB. I saw the m8 touring gauge is that the one we need to fit our bikes?
Hey mate i bought mine off ebay, here's the link
rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F333496593445
Awesome video, is bracket with guage not in you your way when sitting position as you riding or flat feet on ground when stopping as well as backing up when necessary?
No mate I havnt touched my leg on the guage get, I'm 5 foot 9 so not particularly tall my leg sits about an inch above the gauge
Man i love your videos!!! Good job!!! I was also wondering if your exhaust was crazy loud? I have a 883 with some short shots and i can’t go to work with it at 6h30 in the morning! Too loud!! What about yours? Thank you
It is pretty bloody loud mate but not unbearable. It's not as loud as the Vance and Hines short shots.
More of a nice to have than need to have. But great job. Does it get in the way a bit with your leg. Looks like you'd probably end up resting your thigh on it.
It's does come pretty close to the leg but doesn't touch it 👍 it's a safety measure to remind me to wear pants when riding as it gets quite warm 🤣🤣🤣
I wondered if it would hard to install?
Canny upgrade👍🏻 any news when the new rims are due
Cheers mark 🇬🇧🍺👍🏻
Unfortunately there's no update on new wheels yet, I just bought a road/trail bike so I'll have to start saving my pennies for the rims
Did you install the pushrod covers yourself, or have that done by a mechanic? I dig the blacked out look on those with the rest of the bike.
The pushrod covers were installed by the mechanic when I had the toque cam installed 👍
Good video where did you buy your oil pressure gauge from as I run a 2018 street bob thank mate from down under
I bought it off ebay mate. I haven't seen the same ebay seller advertise anymore but I know its the A1 cycles oil pressure guage. A1 cycles is an American company and I believe they don't post internationally.
Here's a link to the fuage I bought.
www.a1cycles.net/oil-pressure-gauges/m8-black-on-black-oil-pressure-gauge
did you drain / vent the line?
Awesome videos, do u plan to wrap your exhaust. And do u recommend it.
Nope I've since sold the bike. I'd only wrap my exhaust if it was covered in scratches and I wanted to hide them. I prefer the look of exhausts unwrapped
Does the oil pressure gauge come in contact with you leg while sitting on the bike like at a stop sign with your feet on the ground?
Nope my leg doesn't touch it. For my height of 5,9 I do have pretty long legs.
are you sure the rocker cover bolt's are 120 foot pound's. im sure you meant to say inch pounds-i like the gauge location but not sure about the line routing would like it for my street bob .good vid as usual bud
You're dead right mate, I didn't even realize I said foot pounds until you pointed it out to me.
Don’t like to be “that guy” but are the rocker box cover bolts really torqued to 120lbft of torque? Other than that awesome informative video and good recording most can’t do both. Keep up the good work 🤘🏻
All good man, I cocked up. If you look at the 1st comment I pinned you will see I listed the correct torque setting.
Could you tell me what’s size diameter is the braided oil line and the fittings? I’ve purchased the same oil pressure gauge and want to cut my won oil line and fittings to install in a different location. I want to make my own bracket to avoid cutting the heat defectors.
I no longer have the bike and don't know the dimensions sorry.
@@TheGingybeardMan Thanks for response. I’ll call A1 cycles and ask them. Hopefully they will tell me.
Does your leg hit the gauge? Looks like it sticks out a ways.
It does come pretty close but doesn't touch 👍
Dude that plug on the engine come out that easy I can’t get mine out I have a 3/8 drive on it and it won’t move at all scared it might break the case Any ideas
I've got no pointers there mate, as you saw mine wasnt crazy tight, I also used a 3/8 drive. Maybe take the bike for a spin and get the head nice and warm and try again.
Hi. Wo kann man das Kit kaufen ?
Hey mate, love the content. do you have a link for the kit
Mate I bought it off ebay. But if you google A1 cycles website they will have loads of oil pressure guages.
What’s the part number on that part
Great video. Where did you buy this from as A1 Cycles site will not let you select Australia?
Mate I bought mine off eBay and it definantly is the A1 cycles oil pressure gauge despite me getting ahold of A1 cycles through their website and asking them if it would fit my softail which they said no. The seller I purchased the gauge from no longer advertises them for sale on eBay.
@@TheGingybeardMan yes, I say that when I looked on eBay. sent an email to A1 cycles but most likely will say no to Australia.
Where did you buy the complete oil gauge kit I've tried everywhere, was told no one makes them🤔
I bought it off eBay. But it's the A1 cycles oil pressure gauge
Hey Mate , I really enjoy your content buddy . I can't afford the a1 kit so am sourcing parts to make up my own . Can you please tell me approx how long the braided line is ? Thanks Dags
Sorry mate, I'd love to help you out but I don't have this bike anyone. Best thing to do would be get a piece of string and roughly route it the same way I have on my bike. Then measure the string.
Hey thanks for the reply , wow ok . What have you got now ? Thanks mate I will take your advice
@@dagsharding3825 I've got a sportster 72 which I've been doing loads of vids on trying to achieve a chopper style.
@@TheGingybeardMan , yes mate I have seen that but I thought it was a 2nd bike 😁. Keep up the good work buddy
Hi! I love this, I’d love to put this on my FXBB too. It would be great if you could post a small list of the parts you used? I don’t think it’s a kit?
This oil pressure gauge is the A1 cycles kit
@@TheGingybeardMan Thanks! appreciate your respons! Like your vids man, waiting for winter to go away here, only thing I can do is mods to my new bike :)
@@Freezzrsvintagegarage great time of year for you to do some mods. it's nearly too bloody hot to ride here haha.
@@TheGingybeardMan it's about zero degrees overhere, salt on the roads and slippery...
Can you please tell me what number of Loctite thread sealant can be used instead of Permatex High Performance Thread Sealant 50ml 56521 ???
I'd go with the loctite 567 high temp sealant.
@@TheGingybeardMan Thanks
hello, which sealant are you using ?
Permatex High Performance Thread Sealant 👍

Hello
First of all thank you because your video helps me enormously, but could it be possible that you note in the description the materials use (example the blue liquid)
Hello,
I would like to know where you order your custom pieces?
@@bmtv809 I bought the gauge on eBaywww.ebay.com/itm/333496593445
And the blue liquid I used is blue locktite which is medium strength 👍
@@TheGingybeardMan Thanks
@@bmtv809 no worries mate, happy to help
Oil pressure gauge looks good. That’s on my to do list also. Well last time I text you I told you I was going to do Stage ll to my 16FLSS. But apparently it’s illegal for HDD to do here in California💩 🤦🏻♂️ So I’m just going to wait till my warranty is over... Have you rode your bike with your new oil gauge does it hit your knee when riding..?
I've sat on the bike with the gauge and my legs don't touch it but it does come fairly close. If you're shorter than me 5 foot 9 I'd say your leg would touch which is a pain cause the gauge gets pretty warm.
The Gingybeard Man Cool, good to know man I’m 5’10 I should be fine..👍🏻 Another thing I didn’t think about, but thanks for mentioning it.I can see it getting HOT especially with my 110se lol...
What is the psi at running temperature idle. Mine reads zero at completely running temperature at idle. I know i have oil pressure. I have no oil light or lifter noise.
Check the 5.48 sec mark it's detailed in the vid mate
@@TheGingybeardMan I meant what is your psi when completely heated up. Not what the service manual says it should be.
@@1962egl mine was the same as service manual.
@@TheGingybeardMan mine is too at 2000 rpms. At idle it is zero. After the motor is completely warmed up. Just hard to look at a mechanical oil pressure gauge reading zero at any point with the engine running.
@@1962egl I wouldn't be too worried about that, as long as your showing the required pressure at 2500 revs when warm it shows its getting oil pressure.
Do you need to drain the oil before hand?
Its not required to drain the oil beforehand
Does it ever go past 60? I installed mine and it maxes out past 3500
Spitting image of his dad
is that a 2020 bike with updated oil pump ?
No mate it's a 2019
Have you updated the oil pump ?
@@allan9584able no I havnt updated the oil pump. I do believe the 2019 model had a revised oil pump over the 2018. However I've heard they have updated the oil pump again with the 2020 models but not 100% sure on that
Hello . do you remember the code of this accessory? I can not find A thousand thanks
How’s this running 2 years later bro
I sold the bike a year ago and it was going great guns then.
@@TheGingybeardMan sweet ! What you ride now brother
@@michaelmaningding now ride a sportsyer 72. I've done loads of vids on the channel turning it into an old school chopper style bike.
I really wanted one of these but the placement looks like it would bother my leg
If you have long legs there won't be an issues with it touching your leg. I'm only 5 foot 9 and my leg missed the guage by two inches. I never felt any heat from it.
@@TheGingybeardMan 5’8 but I grip that area pretty hard with my knees
@@jif4639 yeah man, the placement would definitely be an issue for you then
Link to where u got the paper towels
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that was pre apocalypse mate
120 ft/lbs, and you are using an inch/lb tension wrench. Wheel studs nuts on motor vehicles are 100ft/lbs
Correct, was a slip of the tounge. Definantly not ft/lbs. As you can see im using an inch/lb torque wrench.
Inch ponds please TQ
120 inch pounds for the head bolts
What cam are you running?
The screaming eagle torque cam
Inch pounds not foot pounds
Correct, I've already amended that in the first comment you will see on this vid.
Looks good!!!
