Super Simple and Easy Upgrades - 2022 Harley Nightster

[@elchinolavida]

I have the 2024 Nightster Special and I can’t wait for you to show tutorials on replacing the pipes. This current 2-to-1 does not sound loud at all.

[@skthagreat8313]

Easy process use a wood block when you take it off

[@dude6221able]

Also an AZ native so happy to see someone from my state talking about bikes!

[@heather_hunee]

I have a 2023 Nightster special I am trying to install the security siren. can you do a tutorial on that? Instructions it came with suck!! Thank you!

[@Hippy75]

Another great teardown video. Thanks for sharing

[@ronaldlinton5033]

Just got one, love this series and have really enjoyed the previous vids on the M8, keep it up!…….

[@willjbuck]

Good job man nice to see someone working on the bike!

[@mikeprimeaux9071]

thank you so much for your videos! I just bought a nightster special and I'd like to do some upgrades as well. There just don't seem to be hardly any nightsters on the road. at least not in the Houston area. the bike is very capable and performs amazing, but it's definitely not my road glide :)

[@markvillalvazo1073]

Did you ever post the video of putting the bars on and extending the brake line?

[@MadMathMike]

It's maybe a bit extreme, but do you see any opportunity of rerouting the air intake to the front instead of the side?

[@Longhardshepard]

I love the green

[@robertvilliard3402]

Could you drill big holes in the airbox for more air too. ?

[@aztriumphster]

Wouldn't recommend it. That would be un filtered air

[@michaelsisk5938]

Great video! As a Nightster owner, I always like to see how people upgrade their Nightster. I do all of my maintenance except for the spark plugs as Harley Davidson tells me that it is a 2.25 hour service job. I did see that a Screaming Eagle spark plug is available for this bike. I am hoping that an iridium plug will soon be available for the Nightster. Can you do a video on how to replace the spark plug? What is the part number for the air filter? Thank you

[@aztriumphster]

When I finally get around to doing the spark plugs, I will definitely do a video on it. The air filter part number is K&N RU-0600

very informational thank you

Ciao. Cambiando il filtro aria. Hai avuto errori poi sul display? Io sì sul mio Nightster special 2023, sostituendo solo terminale scarico. Con S&S Gran national. Bel video!

[@aztriumphster]

Hello. No, I did not have any errors on the display. Thank you.

[@JCod306]

So this will be my 1st bike which I plan on customizing to myself so I really enjoy these videos and look forward to learning from you as well as seeing what you create for me to use on my baby when I get her! 😉🤜🏽🤝🤌🏽

[@thomasfrederick3464]

Have you thought about shortening the intake stacks for more direct air flow or would it hurt low down tq?

[@aztriumphster]

Yeah I definitely considered that but it will affect the low end negatively

[@mochaboi32]

Could you put up a link for the crash pegs and sissy bar? I’ve been looking for parts to upgrade my Nightster but hitting all dead ends. Thanks

[@aztriumphster]

[@bong_ae8699]

New to motorcycles here, are you saying any 7/8 grip will work or should? I’d hate to buy grips and they not fit with the way this setup is. I had an 883 before but never modded it knowing I’d upgrade and it didn’t have sleeves like this. Also, I don’t know about you but I am annoyed if needing a key to fill up so if you find a solution to replacing the key lock with possibly a push button, PLEASE do share

[@aztriumphster]

Hello, welcome to the motorcycling family. The inside diameter of the factory controls and outside diameter of the controls section of the factory bars is 7/8". On your 883, the left side grip would have most likely mounted directly to the bar, which could be done on this bike or replace the factory grip over the plastic sleeve. I have yet to find out if the factory grips can be cut off the plastic sleeves. I plan to post a followup video about the bar install. Although I haven't done it myself, I believe replacing the key turn with a push button would work since turning the key actuated the latch by applying pressure, the same as applying pressure to the button would

do exhaust change video bro.

Exhaust change is pretty straight forward, it took me a few minutes because I didn't see the second hose clamp holding the heat shield on

I’m new to bikes and I bought this one as my first. I’d like to do a new paint job like how you did but what am I looking at in terms of cost?

[@aztriumphster]

Rick, welcome to the motorcycling family. I actually went with powder coat on this bike and on my fat bob. It's much cheaper than paint. Shoot me an email at [e-mail] and we can work on a quote for you. The price will vary based on what color and finish u pick.

will the reach handle bars fit without changing any stock cables?

[@aztriumphster]

Likely not. There is no slack in the factory brake line.

[@skeetles1]

@@aztriumphster follow up question, do you need a special tool to change the brake line? I wasn't sure if you needed a tuner or something to activate the abs to bleed the lines

[@avirivera]

Can you show us the video on step by step how you change your breakline im kinda hesitant to do it please

[@kylemaness8768]

What kind of power could you squeeze out of this 975?

[@aztriumphster]

Numbers wise I'm not certain but it definitely feels very restricted from the factory. Just a full exhaust, higher flowing air cleaner and a good tune and im sure this thing will scream. My buddies factory sportster s with the 1250 ran circles around my stage 1 fat bob 114.

[@rebel_ltz]

It seems that all the stock bolts are a bit loose.

[@ckunard2005]

how are they supposed to rattle loose if they're all properly tightened? LOL

Just Google search K&N RU-0600

How’s the ride with the k&n filter

Good. Bike seemed to respond well to the filter upgrade

[@packgrog]

Good god that airbox setup is hideous. I guess I get what they're doing with it, but it's as ugly as the whole left side of the bike. Yeesh. Seems like it'd be a fun bike to ride, but man oh man, the more I look at it, the more I dislike doing so. :(
