I finally got my 1275 Conversion done on my Iron man it's a night and day difference I had to have Aaron Wilson build a base map for mine because of my Cams & Injector size. I'm a very large rider on a Sportster 6'2" 325lb and it pulls me around effortlessly If I wouldn't of watched Your video months ago I would have never done the conversion but man it's way worth the investment makes a Sporty so much more fun to ride.

Hell yea brother! I'm happy to have been able to provide that little push and happier that you enjoy it too!! Rubber side down!

[@trevorjameson3213]

Man your bike looks and sounds so good! And that power, wow, so nice! I have an '01 Sportster (old solid mount with carb), that I just recently finished a 1275 build with Andrews N4 cams, and of course carb re-jetting, new barnett clutch, new valves, head work, new lifters, etc. I could not even believe the power difference, it's a beast and actually kind of scary at first. I definitely wasn't used to that much power, since I've been riding my bike as an 883 for nearly twenty years. But anyway it's awesome and I'm loving it, and still getting used to having so much power, it feels like it's trying to get out from under me. It used to be just a motorcycle and now it's a true beast of a bike!

[@samperez525]

Absolutely! If you hadn't learn to keep your wrist set low on the grip and respect it, the power will let you know lol... Keep that rubber side down!

[@adamjoost2868]

I’m going to call hammer them selfs. What sounds like it’s supercharged tho? Is that the fuel pump or timing? And mods needed other then motor work and the obvious air cleaner exhaust ?

[@samperez525]

That sound is the drive train / extra clutch plate. I would get adjustable pushrods to measure the geometry and adjust. Hammer will try to sell you regular ones which is fine if the geometry is on point but I like to double check. Adjustable push rods are fatter and can sometimes be the culprit of ticking as they bounce in the tube. Thats the trade off I suppose. Hammer will tell you everything you need. You will need to upgrade the stock clutch and diaphragm spring. You will need to buy rear tires more often as well.

[@TheLoneWolf_andCoyote]

Are you still riding this bike Sam? I just bought a pair of cylinder head cores to send up to Hammer Performance I'm gonna have the SMASH porting done with valves and springs. I was curious how many miles you had on your motor now and if you had any issues so far or if everything is still golden.

[@Thisfutureman]

Shit thats a nice setup , i have a question how much did everything cost ? And what do i need to change on the bike if i setup a v&h shortrow pipes and filter ?

[@samperez525]

The easy answer is to call Hammer Performance and get a quote done for your specific needs. The cost really depends on what services you have performed and what parts you go with. Average, work like this will cost about 3k. Money can be saved if you do the install yourself, which was the original plan but I knew that it needed to be tuned immediately so I let the shop handle the internals while I did the most I could externally. 2-1 exhaust is almost always better than 2-2 because of exhaust scavenging. Im not sure if you have fuel management parts but I recommend Power Vision. It has an auto tune feature for when you have only intake and exhaust. I made 75hp with the heavy breather intake, bassani 2-1 exhaust, and power vision tuner. It can hold multiple tunes which is a plus if you plan to switch back and forth from race fuel to pump gas. TTS master tune is also good but I prefer Power Vision. When you have the internal parts and are ready to get it tuned by a professional, they can work off that same fuel management system.

I’m doing this next week

[@u093154]

Is this a stage 4 tune then? I’m wondering for my 48 how you got that extra 75cc from

[@samperez525]

This is stage 3.5 ish because I am still running the original crank shaft and rods. You get the extra 75cc from bored out cylinders and fitting a larger piston in there. This makes it move more air, thus increasing the CCs. Then you remove some material from the head to up the compression. The deep dish in the piston helps make up for any volume of air that would have been removed by decking the heads. Finish it up with some high lift cams and you have yourself double the power from factory. If your'e interested in a build like this, talk to Hammer Performance. They can get you set up with the parts you need for your desired power level.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Why doesn't Harley just make more power with the same displacement? Works on all the other brands.

[@samperez525]

It has to do with compression, rod length, and the number of pistons given the same displacement. Other brands can rev higher due to smaller rod length but torque suffers a bit as a result. Gearing too plays a big role. Each brand has its pros and cons.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Cooling all the power can be a big issue too, especially air-cooled.

[@nikolaiownz]

why did you just answer your own question? no air cooled twins make power like inline fluid cooled engines..

Valve train ticking is normal considering those mechanisms are only under an aluminum cover right at the top of the motor where you can hear them even better. It is common for Evolution motors to sound like a sewing machine. What you hear is the pushrods hitting against the inside of the pushrod tubes. This is quite common on EVO's with adjustable pushrods because they're fatter. Especially the front one because of the angle.
