The bike sounds great. Much respect for finding a engine map that did'nt require hours of messing with settings. You will run out of lean way before the bike runs out of urge in the track but hey, carefully, give the track a shot. Before you do that , you might want to talk to someone who actually track races Harley's. Last thing you want to do is throw all the oil to one side in a long corner and blow out a piston pin.

Hey yamie, do you remember an R1M which was wrapped that you showed in "it came from craigslist" (episode-9). Well its crashed. There is a channel named "cj media" and the guy in that channel now bought the crashed R1M from copart and restoring it. He is a restore guy. I also informed him that the bike was shown in your video. If you are interested and have time go check it out on "cj media". This is not a promotion.

[@mikeg4501]

Sounds amazing!

[@jrhunt414]

Honestly the best mod on a sportster for performance is a fairing. Can’t ride hard when the wind is blowing you off of it and you’re death gripping the bars trying to hold on.

[@tylerwalsh7587]

Yes you can if you believe in yourself enough.

[@vincentbeijing6926]

No need for a windshield on the 1200 roadster, the position is slightly forward, and it balances well with the wind

[@MightyMotoAdventure]

I have a 17' iron 883 with Hammer 1275 kit, i went with the Stock Air Shock from a touring Harley Davidson line. They are cheap i got mine for $60 on marketplace. you just put 1/4inch air inlet like a tire and leave it at 0 psi. will ride like a dream and will never bottom out. and if you load up the motorcycle or ride two up you can use a small air pump to add say 5-10 lbs of air to the shocks to stiffen them up. most people run 0 psi. look it up on forums.. its the best shock upgrade for little money.

[@carthius]

Hey Yammie i was looking to buy a pair of pants from you but i want to make sure i understand the sizes properly. Normal pants i am a 33 or 34 waist but I only see 38 and 38 long as the smallest. There isnt any size chart. Will i just not fit your pants or is there something im not understanding (i am also new to motorcycling basic course in a few weeks)

You said it makes the same HP as the SV650 but it weighs 150 pounds more. Which one is more fun to ride? One of your guys has an SV650, what does he think?

[@greypolar2720]

I've got the Sportster 1200 (48) and my brother has a SV650. We swap our bikes with each other for a few days at a time cause we like them both. The SV definitely feels more free-revving and agile, but the Sporty feels more powerful and the seat height makes you feel more "in-the-experience". We both describe the 48 as making us feel like we're coming home from the war, if you're familiar with old military Harleys. It's a cool vibe.

Put some Ohlins rear shocks on it and get the factory rear sets if you're going to take it on track. The mids will scrape way too early on it. Although, I'm not sure if the rear's will work with that exhaust.

Stock sportsers are very neutered, the epa lawsuit kills these bikes. A stage 1 upgrade gets them to a decent neutral point. Then any stages beyond that can really make it shine. Im on a stage 4 and its proper quick (not fast, quick) light to light its an absolute monster.

If the power is low , reduce the weight to get it to a good level of performance. Aluminum tank, handlebars, etc... could help it be less "turd" like.

Ah yups, the 883 is good if you just want to replace and customize everything. The 1200 is great if you just want to toss on a couple bolt ons like an exhaust and have fun. No it does not have impressive performance, it's just an entertaining experience. It can be fun hearing that old evo revving out, giving its all when you ride in a "driving a slow car fast" kinda way.
