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.

Thank you sir

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.

Well done Chris, always enjoy your videos 👍🏻

[@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...

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

[@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

[@millennialbiker906]

What tuner is that running

[@mkebikers]

It is so good to hear a Nightster with an exhaust. I think I am allergic to the stock sound…

[@aromalito63]

love to see you ride the Machine

[@TxBoi4891]

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

[@MichaelSorrentino-z7z]

What are you using to tune? I want to make an appointment to see you guys with my Nightster. I'm down in South Florida.

[@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

[@LuciCutie1727]

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

[@staffanakerhjelm9780]

Is it possible to get the Jekyll & Hyde exhaust to be controlled by the ride modes?

[@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!

[@ethangonzalez8472]

Nice subtle Buck Fiden sticker 😂

great looking bike

[@kylepaquette7533]

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

[@nbowling10trio]

Nice video from the master tech

[@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.

[@Starship007]

Is there a quick shifter option?

[@TxBoi4891]

So just changing the exhaust gained 30+ mph? Or did you tune out the limiter?

[@cpappone]

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

[@neilizer]

I think its a really good looking Bike🫡

[@guyconnell2250]

What did you use to tune it? PV?

[@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

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

[@kennwoodruff]

What tuner did you end up using on the nightster?

[@bosoz9401]

What brand exhaust is that?

[@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.

[@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!

[@brendanarms5915]

Hows the gas tank on the new Sportster? Heard its under the seat?

[@TwoWheelDirtbags-qf9hz]

Letssss go more nightster content blow up the aftermarket it does need some cams and throttlebodies …. Blockhead Kruesi connection best in the game

[@IAmCSan]

what a lad.

[@marathon1972]

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.

[@nathanmortenson914]

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

[@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.

[@16CasualGamer]

I just subscribed to the channel hopefully I can get a bike this year or the next 😅

[@NatesofSpades]

can we dub the motor the Chonkhead?

[@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.

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.

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

[@hiflyer1168]

Old guy here....now that I bought a new Nighster......my Road Glide has been parked

[@trippytrav216]

I bought this same system in black and I'm very upset that my brake pedal hits the pipe and I cant apply full brake. the front pipe from the head i got has pie welds and the quality looks nothing like yours. I been emailing two bros past 2 days and I'm upset I just need another front pipe it seems because its welded at wrong angle. Has anyone else experienced this?

[@super16g123]

The actual filter element is inside the air box. Might still be stock

[@Starship007]

Build a SUPER LEGGERA Harley. Super light weight like the Italians. Decreasing weight can be more expensive than just placing a larger motor. Larger Motor means more weight.

[@underdogs10k]

[@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 .

​@@codystrom8708 I'd love to see those stars too. The twin Cam and the m8 both had teething issues when they first went into production. I'd bet either of those two air cooled engines had more problems than any of the revolution engines. Revolution, revolution x or revolution max
