2024 Harley-Davidson Nightster Exhaust Install and Dyno

Ty very much

[@super16g123]

@@BlockheadMoto I've been dying to see what this bike would do with stage 1 mods. 100hp to the wheels with a pipe and tune is pretty amazing. You could probably move peak power higher In the rpm range by playing with the velocity stacks.

[@TheSpitfire2207]

still less hp than my evo sporty with a bit of work, bit disappointing

[@ZombieZim713]

@@TheSpitfire2207 lolwut? 975cc engine with tune and exhaust making the same power as a 1200 sportster that needed head work and cams + ancillaries to get there.

Would have love to hear the difference between the S&S slip on and TBR pipe . Love my Nightster Special . Good to see people start to do something with them

[@dingding9360]

First of all, there are many differences in price

[@cyberpunk4622]

I think this is the best of the Iceman showing what it is. Straight forward and no B.S.

[@sickwideglide]

Thank you sir

[@user-gc9yr1be6r]

That's the exhaust that I was wanting to get on mine. Thanks for showing what I can expect out of it. I really wish the Revolution Max platform would get some more love but I doubt it if that will happen now that they're moving it's production to Thailand.

[@christopherjohnson3377]

I have a 2024 Nightster Special, really enjoyable so far. Lot of Dyna parts fit the nightsters (Krator Fairing, suspension, etc). Kind of sucks the aftermarket is just starting to take off. Also, crazy to think that bike is able to do 150+, especially when factory limiter is around 111-114mph.

[@CactusJack252]

The nightster is different and change in the Harley world takes time. The street rod never caught on due to the physical size of the bike. With the nightster being the size of the early model dyna, it should start to catch on quickly now.

[@alexvasquez-pz4cg]

I got a 2023 night s and yea market is bad I really wanna know if anyone knows what tuner is best for this all I can find is powervision not sure if it’s the best one tho or if it has maps for the bike yet

[@gnd111]

Sporster might go 150...Nighster...nah...

[@TxBoi4891]

Did you have to reinstall the o2 sensors or did you tune them out?

I dont know why but im liking those bikes more and more. I was the same way with the vrod.

[@TheCuttz1984]

I've had my quad lock for years. Highly recommended for motorcycles riders

[@Starship007]

That horsepower and less than 500 pounds. Less weight helps everything, handling improves, braking improves, and faster acceleration. Blockhead needs to build a super lightweight build like Ducati, Ferrari, and Lambo’s. Weight is also a critical factor. Even decreasing unsprung weight is a huge advantage

[@millennialbiker906]

What tuner is that running

[@StoichioJoe]

way to go keep up the videos, great tech tips about the O2 sensor!

[@JohnnyLoco1]

Definitely would love to see you take the Nightster out for a ride. With the new exhaust I can only imagine how she rides.

[@kylepaquette7533]

Can you tell me where you learned how to dyno tune?

[@tusk6324]

How does a tune like this work? Sorry, I'm new to motorcycles. just got a 24 Nightster, and I thought dynojet didn't have a tuner for the 24 Nightster year, at least on the website.

[@thefuturetom]

Says "highest flow" for intake, but I wonder if there's any change to be had from swapping out the actual filter on the inside of the air box with a higher flowing one on the outside like the heavy breather or if it's all for looks in the end.

[@Minirev11]

I put a tbr on my 05 super glide and man I couldn’t be happier🔥

[@mikeyb6737]

great looking bike

[@robbyclark6915]

Did he say that bike hit 172-173 mph??? OLY ELL!! That's freaking crazy! I would never have guessed that Harleys smallest bike could go that fast? 130, maybe? 170 is nuts!

[@guyconnell2250]

What did you use to tune it? PV?

[@Boosted_Bagger]

What happened with the sportster s build? I want to see the street fighter conversion. This 975 sounds wicked with the Tbr though!

[@nbowling10trio]

Nice video from the master tech

[@mfitze1]

The nightster, and rev-max in general has a lot of potential. Harley just needs to figure their shit out with the bugs and issues that these bikes have had

[@rumbeard8688]

How pissed is Kruesi now that this exhaust is out there?

[@super16g123]

This exhaust has been out for a while now. I don't think it fits the bikes design very well. Maybe that's why he didn't use it.

This is the one with the oval exhaust port?

[@super16g123]

@@nathanmortenson914 yeah.

[@super16g123]

@@rumbeard8688 looks like no one's been able to duplicate that oval into round bend on the front header. This pipe has pie slices on the front header and not actually a oval to round bend. Probably not optimal. So, actually, looks like nobody's figured it out yet.

Is it possible to fit a custom build 5 gallon tank in sporster 48? 🤔

What Engine guard have you installed? Harley OEM or Other? Thx

[@LuciCutie1727]

Is it possible to build a custom fuel tank with higher capacity? 🤔

[@nathanmortenson914]

The gas tank is under seat the traditional gas tank location is the air box on this model. I assume it's to lower the center of gravity and the airbox has velocity stacks inside.

[@michaelisbill7497]

Im 2 weeks away from buying one of these. I test rode one yesterday and i feel like i got back from week long therapy session

Hi, great, factual video!!! What kind of software are you using to modify the Revolution Max and the new M8 engines in the Touring?

Is there a quick shifter option?

[@NatesofSpades]

can we dub the motor the Chonkhead?

[@nathanmortenson914]

Does the Nightster have the VVT? Is changing cams even necessary with that ,if not just changing how the timing is programed ?

[@edwinyamil22]

Do you guys only work with new bikes or you also remodel old bikes and make them look like new??? I have a 1988 Honda Shadow that I would like to see painted and looking like a new bike.

[@chip9832]

Is there a cam upgrade coming?

[@petemuddafuggincarvo9284]

I miss my '22 that got smashed with only 1500 miles on the clock. I plan on getting another one and putting Pan Am engine parts in it to make it a 1250. Chris, I dare you to do that to this Nightster.

[@cpappone]

So, disconnecting the oxygen sensors doesn't hurt the way it runs?

Two years later , youtube is finally starting to support the Nightster, look out , the Nightster is heating up. I just bought a special and love it coming from an iron 1200. Only thing is, I'm Worried the Nightster 1250 special may be coming out and I'd want to trade up. 😮

[@wyvern4588]

I don't think they will, and if they did, you'd be paying several thousands more. You can get the 975 nibbling at the 1250's heels for not much money.

[@neilizer]

[@mchelligan]

So the ecm is tunable or you found a tuner that works for the 2024? Everything I'm finding, doesn't show that it works for the 2024.

[@justinblake5881]

Here's the big question. Do you think Harley Davidson will make a larger displacement revolution max engine for touring models?

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

What was the MoCo thinking when they designed that stock pipe It looks like damn leaf 🍁 blower

[@robbyclark6915]

If they would just make this with the 1250, I will buy one!! Come on, Harley!

[@Starship007]

Nice looking pipe and bike. The bike only weighs 480 pounds vs the low rider ST over 700 pounds. It’s a hooligan bike. I could not see the horsepower on your dyno but Harley states 90 horsepower, I believe at the crank. 480/90=5.3 pounds/horsepower. Harley 2024 117 ci low rider ST 103 horsepower at the crank, I believe. 720 pounds/103 =6.9 pounds/horsepower. If my math correct.

[@super16g123]

The nightster has an almost identical power to weight as a vrod. Yet nobody is really talking about it.

[@lizardsonofanakie]

@@super16g123 I love pulling up beside stock Vrods .They think they are going to blow you away the look on their when they realize you are still there with them . Most turn off do not want to speak to you . Most Harley Riders in Melbourne Australia have no clue what my Nightster Special is .
