2024 Nightster Screamin' Eagle intake install - Kruesi Vlog

[@DerekHx45x47]

I just bought a '23 Nightster S with 500 mi on it. I'm picking up the bike this Saturday. It's my first street bike. This motorcycle addiction I just rekindled is going to save my life from a life long drug and alcohol addiction! Got to get me a Milwaukee 8 though ASAP though! Street glide 4sure!!

[@marathon8649]

Picked mine up a couple of weeks ago, check out the custom rider modes, they can be made to be more aggressive than sport mode. Also under the seat are two pre-wired connectors for heated gear and of course the trickle charger connector. Tonnes to enjoy this with this bike. With the HD app you can check your fuel level on your phone. Also if you do any night riding, the led lighting is phenomenal. Enjoy !

[@bigpondbashers]

Just when you thought HD was nothing but hot coals, Kruesi comes along and pours gasoline all over the Nightster 🔥. Gen X might be on PAs and RGs but this is going to hit with the younger crowd who can’t tolerate the insurance on R’6s. This is big. Harley, when you see that spike in sales, I’m sure Ryan wouldn’t mind a Rolex Daytona as a token of appreciation. This is the best marketing you could imagine.

[@cubicow7561]

I like seeing stuff like this. It’s nice that I can just Google how to make my twincam into an absolute unit and buy everything from one website. but there’s something about cracking open a vehicle, not having a damn clue what you’re looking at, and learning to make more power that’s just great.

[@user-gc9yr1be6r]

I'm really looking forward to seeing how changing those velocity stacks inside the airbox affects things. I put the velocity stack intake on mine because I thought the screaming eagle heavy breather looked like it would get in the way of my leg too much.

[@kruesioriginals]

It definitely does

[@artvertex4152]

Here in Thailand we managed to tuned this thing to the moon. With just an intake and a slip-on the bike can do 100 hp at the wheel. The top speed can go over 120 mph pretty easily.

[@jradish]

I'd love to see that wow

[@kruesioriginals]

That’s perfect horsepower for what I wanna do. We’re going to tune our when we get back from Sturgis.

[@marathon8649]

I'd be a little worried about tuning the 975. I feel like it's pretty much as strung out as it can be. I just have a feeling the rods won't handle more.

[@jensfosbk1601]

​@@marathon8649 How so? The metric bikes gets much more power out of smaller or similar engines. Look at the duke 890, 990, MT09 etc. 120hp from a 975 twin shouldn't be an issue.

[@High_Desert_Tanner]

Pro tip: set up that custom ride mode... Copy the setup from Sport mode... Then turn UP the throttle response. There's 2 more steps higher than sport offers....

[@kruesioriginals]

I don’t want anymore throttle response, if anything I would like to turn that down a little bit and make it smoother

The velocity stacks would require tuning to not run like crap. Typically the longer ones provide power earlier vs shorter stacks.

[@brandt69420]

Alot of this bike/motor comes from the Vrod. It has a very similar setup.

[@Supawakes]

Looks like they used a sportbike style air flow design under the “tank”. With secondary butterflies I always removed them for better throttle response and not choking the bike down on my zx10&14’s. Not sure if they can be taken out like Kawasaki’s by removing a couple screws. With them removed I would think it wouldn’t restrict air flow.

[@ruelorquiza4744]

I have a 2024 nightster did you have to tune the bike adding the intake?

[@Stripping_Bolts]

Big Raminar Dixxon fan

[@MadMathMike]

Is it reasonable to even hope to get 120HP with just velocity stacks and a tune? That's a 30% increase over the stock 90HP. Genuinely curious, because I've never tuned any of my bikes. I've got the Pan America Special, the Sportster S, and the Nightster Special, and the Nightster *might* be my favorite (although it obviously can't replace the Pan Am). Glad I found this channel recently! 👍😊

[@kruesioriginals]

That’s just rumors through the grapevine. I haven’t seen it personally. So we’re gonna try and prove it. I know you can make 100 wheel horsepower with a slip on exhaust and intake by tuning it with stock velocity stacks.

This bike is going to be a fckn monster. That whole airbox situation seems so weird to me.

[@cisa1622]

I think one of the reasons people are holding back from this bike is fuel capacity. I want a liquid cooled with al least 4 Gallon tank from HD.

[@alphakeshik1479]

The fuel capacity is indeed a limiting factor. My wife got a 23 nightster for her first bike to learn on, and now that we are taking longer rides together, its lack of legs (so to speak) is showing. Nice little bike, though. More power than my 114 Road Glide and loaded with features

[@hdjdjfjfjdkwkwiwiidkfk3059]

Not to be that guy but the nightser has a 975cc and the Pan America has the 1250cc. I'm assuming it's just a topend swap away from being a 1250 but I'm just guessing

[@SleekHobbies88]

My 2019 FTR is set up the Same way gas tank is air box gas tank is underneath the seat

[@ussoldier3RDACR]

Watching these Nightster videos like a Hawk, there isn't shit for them aftermarket.

[@texastanker]

Hmm, gas tank under seat, air box under tank cover...... I might be crazy, but this is a cross between the Vrod and Dyna. I mean, like i said last time, even the exhaust note with the slip on yall made, it sounds like a Vrod. I bet with the high flow intake and possible shorter velocity stacks, it will make loud intake noise.

[@kruesioriginals]

Definitely has some V Rod vibes, but it’s definitely more of a Buell

[@wyvern4588]

Really curious what power you can get out of these, I know my ass already slides off the seat past 3/4 throttle, I definitely need a seat like that one. Wouldn't be surprised if another 20HP comes from a muffler, a velocity stack and a chip-tune.

[@banner0920]

I have so many questions! Is there cams for this? Anybody that ports heads? Is any of that even needed with this bike? I would love to see this thing make 120hp with such minimal upgrades. Could save you thousands in motor work the typical bike needs to make power. Exhaust, intake, velocity stacks, tune…120 hp ripper!

I would love to see Harley do the "stage" lots for the new liquid cooled bikes. The Sportster S for example makes 121hp with the same 1250 as the Pan America which makes 150hp, so the chance to make power out of them is there. A stage 3 Sportster S with the Pan America heads/tune making 150+hp would be insane, and they already have the parts to upgrade said motors. It would be nice if they don't have the upgrades as "stages" tho because that's gay😂
