What became of the sensor that plugs into front of stock box?
@arlanwade32686 ай бұрын
I cut & trimmed the stock lower airbox flush with the filter which not only gave me easy access to the battery & front plug; but I got to keep the velocity stacks (your meager power gain might have to do with their elimination). I noticed a significant bump in power with the airbox mod & S.E. filter. NGK Iridium plugs & hotter coils also seemed to bump the power a bit. Tab Performance slipons w/o baffles gave a better sound but no noticeable power increase (but probably will with a good dynotune). By bypassing the valve cover vents from intake into a Catch Can ($15.00 ebay item but needed extra hardware to install) made a HUGE difference! Definite power increase from mid-high rpm and runs much smoother now. I solved the hassle of those 10 side cover screws by replacing the airbox cover nuts with 1/4 inch brass colars (Ace hardware) & quick release pins (ebay) to replace the screws. I can now get to the front plug in less than 2 minutes.

I like to see your mods with the oil catchcan en screws. Maybe with part numbers 🙏
We have the same exact bike color n all it has a stage 2 already installed n cams when we purchased it from a Dr. I rode a stock one to compare it to. And this things a freaking monster. Outran a Suzuki Habusa with it no problem in a qrt mile race in Tulsa at raceway. If you’re doing the 1:01 stage two you’re gonna be amazed. I think I’ll do the fancy intake you done love the look. We have factory leather saddle bags n windshield. Great bike we love it. When we go on rides with friends they hate it cause it’s the leader of the pack lol. I don’t hot rod it around hey it’s there lol. Love your videos. Lookin forward the my500.00 holigan. lol.

Great video. I have an 04 that has lots of work done to it. Dynoed at 133hp, you just convinced me to spend a little more and get that extra 2HP. 👍
@aarontata-henry29612 жыл бұрын
Proven fact that is how it works, removing that top box alone can provide the bike with more hp after tune

They fit a five gallon tank under there? Wow that's way more than I would have thought. Good on them for getting that right. I once had a 535 Virago and the underseat tank was tiny compared to other motorcycles of that displacement with a traditional tank.

@TorqueandPower2 жыл бұрын
Yes sir a tune is important. V-Rod runs lean from the factory. You will notice issues without a tune. My powervision tuned it well after several tuning sessions on the road. Runs great now! You have baffles in the slip ons?
@charlieryan17362 жыл бұрын
@@TorqueandPower I have the same slip on’s as your bike with the baffles still in them I think it sounds awesome definitely has lots of deceleration pops but it doesn’t bother me just wondered if it was bad for the bike? Most tell me it’s not a big deal . Thanks for the quick reply

@@TorqueandPower Awesome channel and awesome bike! Was it complicated to get it tuned in correctly after you installed the new airbox? I have the same setup with a couple custom mods but I was curious about the power vision tuner- did you download specific maps for it? Anyhow- I’m new to tuning and will probably watch a few vids on the power vision.
@customconnections24252 жыл бұрын
Hey just to add, if you want to hear that intake growl, (if it even sounds different?🤷🏽♂️) you’ve got to give it a good quick wot twist and make the engine catch up, and immediately let out. Not saying let it hang at 9200 at all, just give us a good idle blip so some resonance if any can be experienced! Wondering how the difference would sound between the stock to the mod… Nice bike tho man, definitely a fine HD. IMO, perfect power cruiser, dependable and very very powerful out the box. (Sold the 2003 😞)

Hi Sir hope your well. Just wanted to reach out to you and see if you know anything about how to change the hand controls basically the grips on the v- rods. I bought a 2013 Harley V-Rid that looks just like yours I mean exactly. By the way your bike looks great. I got my bike a month ago and wanted to do some upgrades. All I have done so far is new foot pegs but wanted to change the grips but I’m not sure how to do by myself with that twist knob cruise control. Do you have any advice or videos on how to change. I would much appreciate it thanks.
