Good job Gixx. Keep talking Sporties and Twin Cams and the subs will keep on coming. No hate for the M8, it's just Twin Cams and Sporties are more affordable at this point in time. Thanks to your vids (amongst some others) I'm pulling the trigger on a Sporty 72 today to sit beside the Rocker C. 👍

You're right about the headlight upgrade. I did a similar upgrade on my Dyna. HUGE difference.

Hey fella. Good vid. Been following for a little while now. Just got an 883C 2003 Sportster. Totally love it. One thing that may be a good (sort of) upgrade is to place the mirrors under bars and swap sides. This gives a clearer view forwards, better view rear via under your arms and it costs zero. Becoming more tuned in to this channel than most others on YT. Great dedication.

[@daleleslie1049]

I have been enjoying your videos for well over a year, I like the fact the you are aware that a Sportster is not a Girls Bike, I am getting old now, I got first Panhead in 1973, I was 17 years, back then Sportsters were the first choice for the serious rider or serious Club Member, Full Dressers were often called Garbage Wagons, they were slow and did not handle nearly as well as a Sporty, and What a Glorious sound, I appreciate your videos on newer engines and models too, Good ending to your video, you were at 2,200 Subs. Now more than 50,000 Subs and monetized, Good for You.

[@CaffeineThrottle]

That's a sharp Sporty. My last before I got on a Lowrider,was a 1998 Sportster S .It was set up pretty nice from HD,dual plug heads, single fire ign.adjustable front and rear suspension,more compression,warmer cams.It really sounded nice with a Trapp and billet end cap.Blew every single bulb including headlight while playing open highway one night. Took back roads home using a brite little pocket lite. Dealer actually replaced them all and I left with a rubber FXDL.👍👋

[@GixxerFoo]

Thank you! That Sportster S had a lot of Buell tech in it, they are still some fun bikes to ride today!

[@mrpink1216]

I bought the knock off led day maker off of Amazon for 48 bucks and man it’s great. Compared it with a real hd day maker and mines brighter. Very happy with it

[@GixxerFoo]

I love moment too! Run it about 15k miles without any issues.

[@EarlGuyton425]

Thats so great that you and your wife can enjoy riding your bikes together It is wise to focus on good spark plug wires and spark plugs I take this very seriously on any of my vehicles. Crank your engine over and make sure you are getting a BLUE spark. Many people are operating engines on a red spark and a red spark will run an engine, but until you have a blue spark your ignition is not right You can get a good blue spark at your plug wire coming from your coil, but does it reduce to red at the spark plug electrodes. Thats why you test the spar plug of your choice for blue spark while cranking your engine over. Also for you bikers that ride at night that led headlight may be a good investment

[@GixxerFoo]

That's very true, and it is something that is too often overlooked!

[@EarlGuyton425]

@@GixxerFooI checed out the price for screaming eagle wires and spark plugs on eaby and found them to be reasonably priced. I may buy these for y harleys when I need them in the future. And yes, a blue spar at the plug electrodes being checked is something I have never seen any popular harley tech video even check or mention, but many times it will be claimed the carburetor is too rich, when in reality a weaker red spark will leave behind unburned fuel and cause a plug to be black. Too many adjustments are made without considering all factors

[@GixxerFoo]

You really know your stuff, the core of the wire may be the same as stock but the thicker insulation results in less loss to the plug! SE plug wires really aren't that expensive of an upgrade. I think l paid 30 bucks for a set at the dealer. Locally owned and good people there.

[@EarlGuyton425]

​@@GixxerFooOh yes, quality does matter very much. Many of your lesser plug wires actually jump spark to metal areas. Heres something that will make you laugh It was in 1972 I owned a 64 ford galaxy with a 352 V8 and it ran good, but one night I had it running to check something and in the dark ot looked like one hundred flickering christmas lights. Those eight wires were jumping spark from the distributor all the way to the plugs and I never knew this. Sometimes you have to spend some more money to get good things, and you have to decipher because sometimes many things are priced higher when they are worse. Heres another thing most arent aware of and mechanics of today arent even taught this. You have your cold version and hot plug version for any and all gasoline engines The fatter electrode is the cold plug intended for longer driving and riding and trips as to where the hot very has the smaller electrodes for local and for vehicles only used for local operation. A well known harley evo owner that him and his wife travel expained to me his spark plug electrodes would be white and fail on long trips. He showed a picture of these in his video. I informed hi he was using a hot plug and looked up the HD cold plug for the evo harleys with fatter electrodes for longer distance operation. This also is never mentioned in all these tech videos.

[@EarlGuyton425]

@@GixxerFoo This does not apply to the subject matter at hand, but because I lie you as a person I wanted to let you now my plan for my next video. It is to explain how that the twin cam from 1999 up until the M8 is better as for as longevity and in strength from any earlier harley engine pertaining to the crank pin which is pressed into the flywheel and the shafts which are pressed in is stronger and fool proof and that SS and all of there claims is absolute LIES I have to mentally be in where I can best explain chronological order and not be busy and be relaxed

[@michaelwebb3893]

Need more info on 222 woods cam for 103

[@GixxerFoo]

That cam is really strong and generally puts more down all across the chart. It's an excellent 103 cam, the only down side for a lot of people is the valve train noise. They nose off pretty quick and ramp pretty hard. But that's the trade off on making the power they do.

I’m going to check into these front signal lights like you have those are really cool! Any problems changing them over with check engine light or does it need any diode or anything like that?

[@GixxerFoo]

Thank you! I appreciate it! The led bulbs aren't bad, they have shoulder you'll have to grind down to make them fit in the stock housing. The LED headlight doesn't cause any problems but the bulbs will hyper flash on the signal arrow like the bulb is out. You will have a code but it doesn't throw a light and you'll only see it if you scan the ecm. Other than that they work great and it's a cheap alternative to LED inserts.

I even have the SE Pro tuner (orange one ). So every piece I added to the bike which is a bunch, all came from the dealers inventory. Even my slip on exhaust is stock that were modified by American Custom Exhaust. The best sound of any HD you will hear. Makes those Rinehart crap the dealers push sound like tin cans.

The headlight bucket doesn't get hot at all with the LED upgrades, the LED headlights have a large heat sink on the back but it doesn't heat up the headlight bucket. You for sure won't regret a LED lighting upgrade, it's well worth it!

Great video! Looking for some upgrades for my 2014 nightrod. I'd appreciate the help. Thanks!

[@GixxerFoo]

Glad I could help! My dad rides a 2012 Nightrod, we did all the lighting upgrades on his bike too!

Great video, you do a great job.

[@GixxerFoo]

Thank you! Cheers!

In your opinion how are the leds in the road glide?

[@GixxerFoo]

You can get the LED inserts for the turn signals, they are the same across all models and they have the led headlights for the Road Glide. I like the dual LED head lights on the road glide myself personally.

Thank you! I really appreciate your support, the channel really grew last year!

[@benplonski8985]

Hey GixxerFoo, very informative and helpful video. Try some extra video lighting on all that chrome! It should really make it more professional. Too dark. Especially on the bike. Get 2 different lights and move them around to enhance your different views and segments. Use shadows for depth and light to enhance the chrome. Love your tips!

[@GixxerFoo]

Thanks for the idea!

[@saltshower]

What type of tach do you have on the bike behind you? Is it a HD add on? If it is, I'd like to see a video on installation.

[@GixxerFoo]

That's just the speedo, they do have a little digital tach on the display but it's hard to read.

Have you any experiences with the E3 spark plugs?

[@GixxerFoo]

I've actually never run them myself, I've heard good things about them but I never have put a set in a Harley.

@@GixxerFoo thanks for responding, and for all the great videos you do!! 😎😎👍👍

Alloy Art makes great LED product!

[@GixxerFoo]

I'll have to check them out, I've been wanting to upgrade from the LED bulbs to the LED inserts.

Air filters/breathers? Have you done a video on different brands/styles of air filter systems for Sportsters? I have a 2003 100th Anniversary XL883C with the traditional "ham can" Screaming Eagle filter system with a K&N filter. What other options do I have to improve performance in that area. I'd really like to see one on that subject. Thanks.

[@GixxerFoo]

Not a bad idea at all, some air cleaners do make a difference depending how much power your build is making.

[@lucasmakowski1939]

How about a video on how you raised the tank and routed the spark plug wires maybe? Just a thought.

[@GixxerFoo]

Not a bad idea, it was really easy actually. Just loosened the front mount, removed the rear and supported it with a small block of wood. It gives you plenty of access to fish your old wires out while following through with the new wires.

[@simonkennedy6116]

I've heard a lot of guys talk about changing their handlebars but balk when they see the amount of work. The cheaper and easier solution can be changing the risers. Not by too much or you'll need to change out the cables as well.

[@jimmansi1187]

I ride a 1995 1200 & it originally had buckhorn bars which I still have. I’ve had 5 different bars on my bike, now running roadster bars. It really only takes about 15 minutes to change bars, it’s simple & fun to change them out, just make sure you cover your tank & fender with towels & take your time

[@GixxerFoo]

It's amazing how much the bars will change the look and feel of a bike, they really aren't bad to change out if you already have the cable and wire length you need.

[@GixxerFoo]

If you're going from stock to some tall apes it can get expensive in a hurry. Biggest thing is not damaging the tank or anything else with your cables and wiring hanging off the bike.

[@simonkennedy6116]

@@GixxerFoo I was talking to a guy who had the same bike as I used to who wanted to go from beach bars to drags. It had pretty long cables as it was so he was looking at least six more inches flying around. Two months later he had it up for sale with nothing done to it.

[@FrankFitzpatrick-rh5dh]

Check your plugs and wires for continuity and any voltage drop which would indicate an open circut . Therefore , if there good , there good to go . As my man said so elocqintntly If if indicates nothing as far as torque/Horsepower is concerned . It's just Hyping Snake oil
