Harley Iron 883 Build 🛠 New Gauge, Fender & More! (S2 Ep6)

[@tinkermoto]

In case you didn't know, install the new battery cover clips while the battery is out. Gotta slip the rear clip onto the frame over the battery, slide it back, then install the front one in the same area and slide into place. Kind of a pain with the battery in there. Looking good, man.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Nice, thanks for the info!

[@zacharyfett2491]

The shot inside the headlight was super cool! Also, thanks to a previous video of yours, I upgraded my blinkers and taillights. Huge difference!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Nice! Yeah those RRI LEDs are amazing, glad the vids helped!

[@Smallbore2wheels]

all the little pieces add up. Cant wait to see this thing rolling down the street.

[@BlockheadMoto]

For sure!

[@gsabella4]

That gas cap looks really slick. I've never seen how they actually work.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Love the flush mount caps, much cleaner look to them.

[@edgufler1122]

Very good video. One thing I've noticed in these bike builds you do and it doesn't matter if you building up a Grom.. you always go with good quality Parts.. not the cheap stuff.

[@BlockheadMoto]

For sure! I build it like I would build my own 👌🏼 Thanks for the kind words!

[@edgufler1122]

@@BlockheadMoto I love that flush mount gas cap. Very nice you went with that one.

[@abi5m3ll]

You could get a black trim ring for the headlight to make it look a bit better.

[@mikepetticrew7167]

Looking bad ass, Block! Thanks for setting the clock to our timezone so I dont have to figure out how to change it after I win! 😂. 🤘

[@bigworm6635]

So glad u went through that led gauge setup, my bike came with it and I couldn’t figure out how to change the colors

[@geelongbikenight2809]

Looking good so far mate! Enjoying watching your build videos, you explain stuff well without going into the fine details / bogging down too much

[@chrisb9960]

Yea, he really does a good job with his presentation. Looks like he does a lot of editing and likely multiple takes based on the camera angles being as good as they are. Others post content with shots that are out of frame or even focus. I can't imagine the number of hours he puts in.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thanks Hannibal and Chris B! Glad you enjoy the episodes, I appreciate the kind words and support!

[@wick2012]

Headlight is nice if ring around it was black that would really set it off

[@Gromtrooper6189]

You have the patience of a saint for working through programming that gauge!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Yeah that thing threw us for a loop, lol

[@j.p.7272]

Can't wait for the next video. BBQ ribs for dinner and watching Blockhead on my 65". Love it!

[@VVoltz]

I have the same speedometer, thank you, I had no idea how to change the color.

[@BlockheadMoto]

And knowing is half the battle! *cue GI Joe music

[@newyorkrebel5142]

I like the downward pipes on the IRON, but that "spike" needs to be rounded off. lol I'm lovin the short rear fender too.

[@runtylerrun3898]

You guys are killing me with that guage 😂

[@BlockheadMoto]

That gauge was killing us, lol!

[@thetoast659]

The bike is really lookin good! Thanks for sharing as always Block! Bell yeah!

[@Punisher541]

Please help me out here blockhead! I’m a combat vet, I own a 2016 fatboy s and my fiancé is also In the service. She just recently got called for duty and their was an accident and she had her hands crush by a “Hercules” I live in SoCal and currently she’s in Vegas surgery on both hands that she got damaged. All she’s ever wanted was An iron 883, if you can blockhead please help me get her wish. Her life goal is just to ride with me and be at peace nothing more nothing less. Love you blockhead! I always watch your videos, as well as Ms. Blockhead! 😊

[@Chase_N]

I installed a Dynojet Power Vision on my Sporty 1200. It actually has a digital speedo/rpm/temp gauge along with a ton of other optional gauges built in that you can choose. I'm almost at the point of getting rid of my regular speedo. It was the better buy over the Vance & Hines. It has auto tune, plus a ton of other functions too. Plus Fuel Moto has it for around $400. V&H tuner had had too many problems for me.

[@lillsportyshorty7165]

I'm just here so I can learn how to do this.. and am a patreon cuz I dont wanna miss anything vital to my own first attempt at working on a bike. I am never lucky enough to win stuff so I dont bother trying. I'm just here for the info in his brain pan. 🤯

[@BlockheadMoto]

Checkout the "How To" playlist for the Iron 883 on my channel! It's much more detailed on the installs, going step-by-step 👍

That gauge looks amazing! So colorful 🌈

[@TheJCJexe]

Looooooveeee the purple on that gauge!

[@michaelbernhardt389]

The new cover Clips do they push the cover out so the ECU fits

[@BlockheadMoto]

I don't believe so, but there's some extra room between the cover and the battery in there already. Here's hoping it fits!

[@cameronfyfe1194]

on the HD website it says the flush cap doesnt fit any irons. but obviously it does did you make any changes off camera

[@MrNosajwhitey]

If this turns out the way I imagine it's gonna look trick af

[@tylerjohnson3195]

So is the winner selected by how much money donated out per episode or by just being a patreon?

[@BlockheadMoto]

A list is generated, giving each person a number range based on the total amount of their entries. Amount of entries is equal to the total amount pledged per episode x the number of episodes pledged to during the build. I then pull up a random number generator, and whatever number it lands on is who wins it 👍

[@tylerjohnson3195]

Alright, thank you! I can't pledge as much as everyone else I'm sure, but it's worth a shot for a first bike 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@pmdinaz]

Cool mods to hopefully inspire others to wrench on their own bikes! Thanks for sharing.

[@comgod0621]

I want this bike so bad!

[@robertlumsden942]

Great video. Joey seems like a great guy. that is the kind of people you want to surround your self with. I like the new speedo. I might have to switch mine out. not a big fan of tank lifts or speedo relocation. seems unnatural to take your eyes of the road to see your stats. looking real good though. cool.

[@TEAMPANIC42]

Wuttup Blockhead? You going to save the paperwork for all the new parts to give to the winner? Think you should, just to help out with any changes like for the speedo, etc. Just wandering is all. ✌🤘👍

Most of it's available online if the winner wants to look it up!

Nice bike man i,m from holland europe

[@LatinoRider]

Nice bike!

[@ImAlwaysHungry]

Are you going to mount the ECM with the heat sink pointing out, not against the battery? I don't know how hot they get, but it will want to be able to reject the heat.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Not sure how we'll mount it. I've seen it mounted w/ heat sink pointing inwards with no issues reported from the users.

[@robertlumsden942]

its the brain of your bike for sure. protect it. that can bus system is so important. nothing happens with communication with that ecm.

[@anthromoto5931]

Do you have to install the fuel level sending kit before you marry the new speedometer to the ECU in order to utilize the fuel gauge feature of the new digital speedometer?

Hey Block! Greetings from Costa Rica... I've been watching your vids for a while and I got the same Iron 2013 you had, just bought it last week and Im new to HDs. I will be using MANY of your vids to build it. Just wanted to thank you for the content you post and for people like me new to HDs, this is really great help. Thanks! I have a quick question, I know HDs, specially Sportsters vibrate but this thing is crazy to the point were my hands would go numb, the faster the more it vibrates. Since I'm new, I'm not entirely sure that is the was is supposed to be. I'm planning to go to the local HD dealership for a test drive and see. Did you ever had that issue, if so, any advice?

[@dagthewog6290]

What knife was that?

[@chadprettyman2359]

What’s the name of that speedo? I wanna get a digital one like that

[@VRRider]

I would cut the rear fender to a point rather then blunt it. I think it would look a lot better that way. If not you still could blunt it after.

[@Run4urlife13]

What am I going to do with 2 Irons in my garage at the end of May?!?

[@Run4urlife13]

By the way, you’re not still throwing a 1250 on this thing are you?!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Sell the other one? Lol! Nah not doing a 1250. This engine only has 126miles on it, figured best to leave as is for reliability, since it’s not even broken in yet! Whoever gets it is getting a brand new, very modded out Harley! 🤘🏼

[@Run4urlife13]

BLOCKHEAD very true. It doesn’t make sense. And yeah, I would sell my other even though it’s a 2016 with 2k miles haha. Or Mrs. Tokey may have a new hobby.

[@ArthurDoesThings8960]

Yo! Just bought a 2009 XL883C and looking for a license plate side mount like this one. Anyone know the model of this license plate mount? I've been looking online and can not for the life of me, find one that can be moved and/or "swiveled" out of the way like this one here.

As for turn signals go, check out the Rizoma Club signals. They would look pretty good while staying pretty bright.

[@InSaNeDefiance]

Don't laugh... but... I've been shifting up to go into first gear for a while now wondering why my acceleration been so slow telling my dad there's something wrong, but he rides it and.. "This thing gets up like a dog with its ***** on fire".. Watched your clutch and shifting video and seen i've been doing it wrong and starting in 2nd gear and I've been scared to ride because of it taking off slow, I don't think I've ever been in first gear. 😱😓😨😵 I'm curious to know if I've been destroying my transmission or not because of that as well, if anyone knows..

[@nolanmacdougall1154]

PyschoSocial if anything just slipping the clutch to much

[@BlockheadMoto]

Glad the video helped out! You're probably fine, people take off in 2nd gear all the time. So long as you can feel it grabbing now, I would assume it's all good, but if you feel it start slipping, might be worth checking it out.
