[@nbowling10trio]

I'd like to see a versus series. Hooligan kit vs hammer base kit. Dyno and acceleration tests. I think the hammer kit would come out on top from the info I've gathered so far. I have two 883 that are getting big bore kit soon and I'm leaning towards hammer for the low and midrange torque where most people spend most time. Thanks for your content, it's good

[@71stang94]

Hammer beats the lights out of hooligan any day, only problem is the price

[@Mordorer]

Go hammer I did

[@chucksnowdon4573]

I'm hoping for 1: sporty 2: scout 3: bolt. But I have ridden my buddies scout and that mofo is fast. Wouldn't be surprised if the scout takes it

[@ericfifer9662]

Blockhead I go to MMI right now and I had jimmy mak as an instructor and it’s cool that you can go there and dyno your motorcycles

[@BlockheadMoto]

Nice! Yeah it’s awesome to be partnered with them, we’re very grateful 👍🏼

[@zacharymartin8298]

What exact products did you install on the bolt?

[@djthread1765]

Very excited to be starting at MMI Orlando soon! Just took a tour of the place and it’s an amazing place

[@LloydMayes]

Love all 3, but can’t wait see the hooligan in person, thanks blockhead

You got that top torque man! Enjoy dude

Thank YOU for supporting what we’re doing here man, means a lot! Can’t wait for you to receive your bike! 🤘🏼

[@sli8462]

That's so weird. With slip ons and an S&S intake, my Scout was low/mid 70s tq and mid 90s on hp after the tune. I wonder why this Scout read so low

[@theePillar]

I'm suppose to class up there in September idk if it will happen now

[@thebob6385]

Nothing in this whole series was more surprising than seeing BaggerBro sitting on the Indian at the very end. Great job Block and crew!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Got em! 😂

[@spurs4842]

Hey Blockhead, I was wondering because you would know more about it than I would. Do handlebar mounts for phones fit the stock Iron bars, or should I get a tank mount?

[@BlockheadMoto]

Depends what mount you go with. I use Rokform and it fits many bars, comes with adapters to fit 1” as well as 7/8” bars.

[@Itsjustwack]

The Bolt is by far the cleanest of the 3

[@danwilliams5867]

2021 HD Sportster S?

[@armlocker0x8]

I'm owner of a 2018 Indian Scout and discovered the channel because scout's vídeos. Here in Brazil those bikes are very expressive to buy and keep it. Any way congratulations for the good quality of channel's videos.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Great bike, very quick!

[@cwayboyz]

I’d like to see what my bolt makes right now. I did similar mods to mine but never had it on a dyno. I did the mapping on the dynojet though lol. It pulls pretty hard for such a small engine.

[@TheDankh]

Ivan's, IMO.

[@MichaelHershman]

Good morning fam., . An I think the "RSSV B.H. Bolt" was Top Choice cuz it has that signature style! They are all Incredible, But... you see the Bolt & you know Who created It. Anyways, Congrats to the Winners, you lucky devils! Cheerz 👊

[@MichaelHershman]

Thanks, Block. 👊 An Oh yeah, I Finally get to meet Jess @her_two_wheels this Saturday up here in Chicago @IMS Outdoors event. Now, I just have to get down to Orlando & Hopefully meet you, baggerbro, The B.H.C.! LOL, an if I "WIN" that 2021 Blcokhead Road Glide, it'll be Sooner then later, lol. Not, sorry abt geekin out, lol... Just Excited! ✌😁

[@fionapeterwoodfield6750]

I love both the Indian and Bolt but given a choice it would have to be the Yamaha Blot hands down. Just pissed I can't enter the competition. If I could I would pay the freight to New Zealand in a flash. A 55 year old rocking a Hyosung GT 250 does not inspire anyone to take up riding but any of the 3 up for grabs are head turners and works of art anyone would be happy throwing a leg over. Keep up the great work, been following awhile now but never commented before , Ka kite Peter from NZ

[@m3talc0re]

That's stage 4 on the iron 1200? Is that all Screamin Eagle shit or what (I haven't gone back and watched the videos on it)? Those numbers seem really weak for a stage 4...

[@albertstabelli5869]

Cool stuff man! 👍🏼

[@bigdaddyzaddy]

I've just been waiting on the hammer kit series..... I want to know the end results, because I'm looking to do the same thing but with their 90ci kit.

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

All three are nice bikes! Nice tunes. Ride safe brother.

[@luismancilla650]

The good thing about these videos Is that I hope it motivates companies to make as much parts for Harley’s and Indians equally for the Yamaha too. It’s like my dad Suzuki c50. I believe it has potential but nobody makes parts for it.

[@MikeB-ng3ol]

Eeey I went to UTI. Great school.

[@LARGO125]

Nice numbers. Biggest gain on the iron is no surprise given all the work compared to just a stage 1 on the other 2 bikes. That iron should kick you in the ass solid with all that torque. Kinda curious why you didn't use the same dyno to test all 3 bikes? Not that it should make that much different with engines that small.

[@BlockheadMoto]

We used the Dyno at Seminole H-D to tune the Iron and get final numbers, so there wasn’t really any need to put it on another Dyno, as well as respecting peoples time 👍🏼

[@Blznstang]

All were sick but that torque tho on the iron pretty nice

[@ShawReston1]

man I wish they would bring back the 72, the gold one you catch a glimpse of at the end of the episode is so sexy.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Love the 72! I’ve tried to buy that one every time I’ve been there, give them such a hard time about it 😂

[@richardwaldron222]

So this time you took a 883cc and stage4 it to a 1200cc hooligan kit right? So could you get a stage4 a 1200 with the same relative displacement increase like the 883? See it if it's worth starting out with the 883 or 1200 and finally put the nail in that. Especially because you just proved the have to pay $250 per hp over stack and all for the gain of 10hp across the bored.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Iron went from stage 1 883 to stage 4 S&S 1200. Not sure if you could get the same numbers starting w a stock 1200 and doing a tune and cams, would be an interesting experiment to see though. The Bolt and Indian got about 10hp w Stage 1, which is prob more around ~$100/hp (exhaust / tuner / intake)

[@mrvwbug4423]

The answer almost sounds like "wait for Sportster S" which should smoke all these right out of the box. I'm sure Block could give a more accurate assessment as he's ridden the Sporty S.

[@BlockheadMoto]

@@mrvwbug4423 Sporty S is fast, and stock will be faster than all of these bikes in the video. Sporty S stock though won’t be faster than a 1275 120+hp Hammer kit. Although I doubt it’ll take much to get it faster than the Hammer kit once aftermarket starts making parts for the Sporty S

[@scoutnsocal3636]

@@mrvwbug4423 sporty s would take the win, but it's more of a "vs indian ftr" than a scout.

Good content but man those transitions are doing the absolute most with the editing.. could use a little toning that down. Lmao. Each transition seems like an editorial flex.

[@codester0719]

I knew the iron would be somewhere on top. Didn’t quite count on it taking the W. All three bikes turned out great 👌🏼 something about that Indian though, makes me wanna go find one haha. Great work Blockhead as always 🤙🏼

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thanks man! 👊🏼

[@zacharymartin8298]

Wait, what did the iron take the W on? On power it was 2nd & on peoples choice it was 3rd.

[@RickyBobber]

I can hear the Owen Wilson when he says "mile an hour"

[@ardennielsen3761]

two of the same bike, differing motors, first has 72hp @ 72lbft the second has 72hp @ 36lbft... Is one actually faster then the other? ... smoother

[@mrvwbug4423]

Too many variables to say for sure. Depends on the bike, gearing, weight, etc. the first motor would be akin to the stage 4 1200 conversion on their sportster, the second would be akin to a 400cc 4 cylinder sport bike motor. the big heavy twin in a smallish sportbike chassis is not going to work very well, same with the 400cc screamer in a cruiser chassis.

[@johard3688]

I love that bolt a lot. unfortunately I dont have a shot at it lol. Oh well. Congrats to whoever gets it. I think my first bike will be the honda rebel 1100

[@tricd0444]

I've said this on every Bolt video that I've watched, but I REALLY hope that the winner does the Ivan's tune. Anyone that owns a Bolt and does modifications to it should know that the biggest improvement you can do to the bike is Ivan's Performance tune. With a different exhaust, you might gain a touch more power, but still within dyno variability. With his slip on on his dyno, he dynos at 60hp wheel. He also does a bunch of ridability upgrades, with removing the throttle cut on closed throttle, removing 99% of the off throttle popping, and vastly improving throttle response. In addition, with another plug, dressup.motorcycles is putting together a high compresion and cam kit that, at the high end, should put the bike at roughly 70hp to the wheel, putting it much closer to the other bikes. I really feel like it's the bike to get for someone that likes wrenching on their own bike, and doesn't like the slightly more prohibitive entry cost of the Indian and the Harley. Although, I am rather biased, being a Bolt owner myself. I don't see myself ever getting rid of this bike, I LOVE it. All that being said, the Harley is wild, and that Scout is absolutely bonkers for an 'entry level' cruiser. 10/10 for all of them, wonderful job putting the bikes together!

[@WestVirginiaCope]

I'd like to see the numbers of the scout vs the numbers of a Sportster S vs the 202something base revolution Sportster they teased in the sportster S release video. I think I heard the new base sportster will have a 900 revolution motor. Obviously a future video, and without the scout actually in it, but I'd love to see them dyno the new sportsters someday just for a numbers comparison.

[@daltonnadeau1339]

Also remember sportster S is 1250 scout is only 1133, they do make a big bore to make it a 1300

[@iliasarroyo]

Picked bolt over Vulcan personally l

[@teddyr__]

Badass 🔥🔥

[@TheDankh]

Too bad they didn't get the bolt tuned by Ivans, its a literal difference of +12hp/+10tq to the wheel.

[@BlockheadMoto]

So an extra 3.5hp and 3tq over what we got but no ability to tune for different components like you can with a Dynojet?

[@TheDankh]

@@BlockheadMoto Ivan can tune for any components, and it's a stand alone flash as opposed to piggy back system. Fueling, shifting, decel, rpm, timing, etc... He addresses everything, and is highly known as THE best tuning option for most metric cruisers. Far better than dynojet. Also, isn't all about peak numbers, the feel is greatly improved in every aspect.

[@TheDankh]

@@BlockheadMoto And just to be specific, Ivan's Bolt turned out 61.1 hp and 65.1 tq all the way up to 7200 rpm (1200 rpm's more than the dynojet) which is MASSIVE, so nearly +6 hp and +4 tq over the dynojet, with much better characteristics everywhere else due to being able to control ignition timing, throttle tables, idle, rpm, fan control, etc.. timing + fueling = much broader useable power, too (usually).

[@vancesmith667]

What would be cool is if we actually got to watch them do some work, rather than just staring at a screen with another screen on it. As much fun as staring at line graphs is....zZz.... Cool vid otherwise. I'd rather have that Iron 1200 than anything else.
