The Harley Iron 883 to 1200 is DONE! (S&S Hooligan Kit TEST RIDE)

[@BerserkerNick]

A buddy of mine was always making fun of sportsters, I went from an 883 to a hammer performance 1275 on my bobber, he took it for a ride and came back with the biggest smile on his face 🤘

[@geraldsweeten509]

I’m glad blockhead didn’t give up on KZbin!

[@Nickersont88]

I'd love to see this pull side-by-side with the Scout

[@khaccanhle1930]

Scout stock will still likely thrash a hopped up sportster

[@kevinwolfe5448]

Yeah, the scout would smoke it. Just numbers alone are 123 hp and 87 ft. lbs. of torque. The scout is ugly af though, so there’s that.

[@sli8462]

@@kevinwolfe5448 Scout is a beautiful bike, but also, those aren't the numbers for the Scout. Stock Scout is 100hp at the crank and 85 hp at the wheel. Torque is closer to 75lb at the wheel. I think the numbers you mentioned are the Scout with the 1300 cc big bore kit or the FTR1200. That being said, I think the stock Scout will still beat this. A stage 1 or 2 Scout will 100% beat it.

[@BlockheadMoto]

We’ll be lining em up when they’re all finished and tuned. Should be soon! 🤘🏼

Pick up my iron 883 with Harley pumpkin orange a month ago with 9 miles I’m past the 1,000 miles and love it. Ride it all over south Cali

[@kylevanschalkwyk6010]

If only shipping and taxes to South Africa didn't cost as much as Road Glide. Amazing Bike. Just bought my dad a 90's sporty with a 1250kit and he's turned into a teenager. A smile factory on wheels.

[@Cali2FRESH1]

Iron 883 on stage one are beautiful. I can only imagine this hooligan. Great content BLOCKHEAD!

[@kenstar1862]

Don't forget the HP ratio to the weight of the bike makes a huge difference,a HD softail weighing 100+ more lbs with 115 hp compared to this bike I bet you it will be a close race,,,a great looking bike

[@jonnymac8925]

I seriously can not wait to have my motor finished this week. It's been a long wait since my accident but the bike is going to be completely revised from what it was. I am curious to see how my S&S 1250 with forged flat top pistons works with my Feuling internals, Barnett clutch components, suspension and weight reduction. It was a super fun bike before, now I can't wait!

[@EastboundDwn]

Sportsters are refreshing to ride..so much fun. I'm putting the 1250 hooligan kit on my 48.

[@JaysonBucy]

That's one of the most beautiful sportsters I've ever seen. Excellent job man.

[@dustinweist1605]

I have a 2020 Iron 883. Juat got it back from the ship. Put a Screamin Eagle Stage 4 in it. I have Bassani Radial Sweepers and it is pulling 77 HP and 78 Torque.

[@LloydMayes]

I used to ride a 1975 sportster, and I love what you did with the 883

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thank you! 😊

[@An_Enraged_Pig]

Put some 13.5 suspension on that thing, t handlebars, and progressive suspension. It'll be more of a beast

[@moto_989]

love the fact you go to the same under-the-bridge spot to shoot photos; it's a good lil place.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Great spot!

[@thethirstygoose398]

Man I love this channel!! Thank you from Australia 🍺🤘

[@raymondwinans978]

Had to keep wiping the drool off screen so I could watch . Awesome build !!!

[@BlockheadMoto]

🤤😂

[@moefingers]

Looks solid Blockhead, now I wish I've gotten a sporster. Seems to have a wider spectrum of aftermarket products for it

[@danielney6]

One would say that there's even too much aftermarket products for the sportser :D

[@BlockheadMoto]

Like Shadetree said in a vid awhile back, you can build a Sporty from all aftermarket parts, pretty crazy! lol

[@moefingers]

@@BlockheadMoto I 2020 softail slim and not a whole lot of aftermarket for it. Or maybe I'm not looking hard enough lol

[@BoringFisherman]

Looks/sounds fun! I have a 2004 883 that's old, rusty, and crusty that I'm going over. I'm going more "industrial" with it....

[@drewnelson7298]

Just had this kit put into my '95 sporty. Enjoyed the video and looking forward to the upgrade.

[@jasonsanderson9385]

BADASS 💪!!!! Lovin this Build, Honestly this Whole Season has AMAZING Bikes love the diversity in style for each bike!! Ride Safe

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thanks Jason!

[@georgejed2255]

Yo Block! I think you have a future with this build thing. It's already here. G

[@Tonycsatx]

That’s a sweet bike! Love that exhaust sound! Good luck to whoever wins that beast!!

[@sirsulley8110]

Its awesome that you live in Orlando I see your videos and am always saying "Oh I know where he is!" since I am living in the heart of Downtown Orlando

[@theduke4507]

Awesome bike block been watching since the 883 days too. Sure this bike brings good memories! Keep it up brother.

[@ecrusch]

Nice job Block. It looks / sounds & pulls great!

[@Chiefblz]

I just bought a 2021 iron 1200 in April iv only put 720 miles on it but i love it

[@DoubleDMoto]

I totally agree with you about the Sportster. Would love to do this to mine or win this one. 😉

[@fofaogcb]

Nice video brother, hey just got a 2014 Iron 883 couples month ago, is so cool to rider around your neighborhood that’s was Ocoee back rd right see you around 👊

[@jasonadams5187]

Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thanks BlockHead

[@Horazzify]

Sportsters even with just exhaust sound fantastic

[@ZaccSiriMpls]

Just crashed my 883 on Saturday she’s going to the shop tomorrow and she’ll be back bigger and badder. I love this video! Sportster’s are the shit and like my boy blockhead says just ride ur bike ✌🏽💨

[@SooHighFashion]

Glad you're ok man, hope there wasn't much damage to both you and your bike.

[@thepantslesshobo6750]

Super excited to see all the bikes lined up for the giveaways! The videos have been amazing, so I'm ready to see them all tuned out and ready to roll! I got my tickets in and crossing my fingers for one of them! Keep up the awesome content!

[@MrDroptineman]

jeezzzass that is the nicest sportie I've ever seen... just outstanding !!!

[@dlsimes]

Love everything you did to the 883! Great looking bike!

[@MrJruta]

This is my favorite bike by far!

[@juandanieldobreespinosa7506]

Not my favorite motorcycle BUT: Looks amazing and lots of fun. Work well done.

[@dialdays]

Great video, I've got the same kit on my 2017 iron, it definitely wakea it up a bit and it's a bit of an adventure staying on with the 14" apes

[@tjatkinson88]

Had a 2012 1200 Custom Stage 1 power commander dyno tuned got 81 hp 80 torque.

[@SHIFTINGSTATE]

Sportsters are a blast to ride. I have a 2017 Roadster cafe racer and love throwing it around. I would love to put my roadster up against that s&s kit.

[@UncleBogator]

Lob lob lob lob. Love that idle! I had an 883 for 7 years and always said I was going to do the big bore. Never did

[@supinoy]

I really love to participate in your giveaways but I can't since I'm from the Philippines. been watching your videos since the iron 883 days.

[@TheMotoScout]

Love the build! Looks and sounds awesome. I have the TBR 2 into 1 on my Indian Scout Bobber. I ended up putting the -7db baffle in it just to keep the sound sweet but not so killer on the eardrums over the long trips. ✌🏻

[@IlllIlIIllllIllIIIlIllI]

Man, people who complain about what other people ride kill me... I know the Thunderbird isn't an amazing bike, can barely do aftermarket mods on the damn thing, but I'm in love with my Thunderbird Storm

[@Rugratt_]

Super bummed I missed out on the giveaway. Loving this bike more and more.

[@michaelhoffman8309]

I felt a huge difference with my screaming eagle 1200 kit. But I want to do the 1275 kit now. I want to build a 2003 sportster though so I can throw a 6 speed in it to with the 1275 kit

[@powershift1365]

I wonder how much more power that build would've made if the 883 heads had gotten even just a cleanup to the bowl area of the ports, as that is one of the reasons why stock 883 heads can leave power on the table if left untouched when used for conversions, besides them also having smaller valves than the 1200 heads. However, with the TBR pipe I still have doubts on how MUCH more power would be made, as the horsepower plateaus at ~5500 and even begins a very slow decline until redline. Every exhaust pipe is going to have a different power curve than another, but if aesthetics and sound were a more primary focus to the choice of pipe, then I'd say the TBR pipe is a fine choice. I'm anxiously waiting for a Hammer Performance build on your channel Block, don't let me down!

[@whoewasthatit]

He’s doing one on his personal sportster. He released the first video of it last week

[@BlockheadMoto]

Hammer Build incoming on the personal Sporty, heads and manifold arrive today! 🤘🏼

[@CalebHoss37804]

I love my Iron 1200. With the AMF era decal. Just installed its stage 1 and tuned it. Really woke it up. I’d be curious to see this bike compared to a standard Iron 1200 with a Stage 1.

[@gatorsmotorcyclemisadventu4341]

I got the 2020 iron 1200 with stage 1 and tuner. It woke it up alot. Its my go to bike lately

[@emonsmorris8833]

Seeing the 2 inch tank lift is so weird after being used to seeing my 4 inch lift with 12 inch bars. Gives it a nice tall de-rake look

[@KennyQuestShow]

Man-o-man that bike rips! digging those bars, tank lift, some great ideas there!

[@nickyp2484]

Hey... love it...do they make an Easy Clutch for this bike? That would help the pull tension a lot.

[@uneasyr1der]

Whoever wins this beautiful little beast will be lucky. ❤️ All you'd really have to do after you get it is put on a more butt-gripping seat, throw some Progressive shocks and springs on, and probably upgrade those brake pads to some EBC or Galfer's. Then ride the ever loving shugar out of it!

[@crawlercrew874]

Love my sportster. Also have a 21 fxst. Still love my sportster.

[@robbierussell9536]

Great job Blockhead..I'd love to see how yours would run next to my 1200/1275 Hammer kit!!!! It's pushing 130 H.P. I'm glad your happy with it. Sportsters are my favorite. Uh except Trikes

[@scoobymoto9858]

You’re really making it hard to decide which one I would want!

[@AdaMoto83]

Bro you should drag race it against a 48 now. Would be awesome. Good job man! 👌🏾

[@45backwoods]

Been thinking about doing this to my 883

[@DynojetResearch]

Awesome! Enjoy the ride 💪

[@BlockheadMoto]

For sure! 🤘

[@ahinote42]

Sick build, it sounds mean! I can't wait for the giveaway!

[@bgibbs699]

I love it!! the speedo messes with my ocd but i love the sound. would love to see an actual drag race between It and the Bolt. Im on team bolt lol. curious to see the bolt numbers after the tune.

[@onecaramon]

Smaller bikes are just fine. Especially for newer riders.

[@PaulsMotoZen]

What did you upgrade the brakes with? If you are going faster, you may need better brakes.

[@trashpanda7641]

Damn that's a fine looking bike!!

[@Aeterno91]

Hey Block, could you make a video about cleaning and maintaining bikes?

[@BlockheadMoto]

Sure thing!

[@MichaelHershman]

1st off the Iron Hooligan Looks great, Lean & Mean! An holy sh!t, Rocket Man... she sounds Grrreat & Hauls A$$! Curious how fast you were hitting in the vid.? Hats off Blockhead to you & Chris @sickwideglide for creating a Monster. Lucky Devil to whomever Wins this Incredible Iron! ✌🤘

Sounds NICE!!! Now, where's that SCOUT!!!lol all bass ass bikes!

[@Reils223]

Very coo! A little too fast for me, I'm a new rider and I'm more of a cruising down the rode kind of guy.. Lol

[@pics-by-pete]

all would change is add some White walls . bike looks and sounds so sick.

[@redhead472]

Such a sexy ass bike! Loud and sound is off the charts!

[@chrissantmyer8071]

Don’t give it away until your hammer 1275 is on the other one and race them!

[@nunyabidness9100]

The only thing I would like to see that you never show on any of your builds is a 0-60mph pull similar to what Shaun does on SRK cycles test rides

[@toxic_crusader5149]

Nunya bidness “Hey you should be like someone else” whatever, go buy some merchandise and enjoy what he puts out! Ain’t nobody trying to do the same thing.

[@highplainnsdrifter3050]

Swweeeeet.👍💪 Hammer Performance offers a 1275 kit that delivers more: 100 h.p., rather than 70 h.p. that S&S delivers. Now, Harley needs to bring back the V- Rod in its 1250 Porsche designed engine, with lees rake, mid controls & narrower rear wheel to punish some crotch rocket riders. I would also see this weaselly company bring back the LEGENDARY FXR FRAME on many of its bikes. And comeon Harley, descent double disc brakes with ABS on all models. We already pay premium price for for your bikes.

[@rattlehead7281]

Harley is releasing a modern sporster with the pan America motor, 150 hp v twin liquid cooled. In the pan America it does power wheelies. Can't even imagine how insane that would be in a sporster style frame

[@Tashin32]

Do want. Honestly all the bikes for Season 5 are winners.

[@Yargilfist]

This Iron is looking run to ride!

I’m actually looking into get my first street bike. I usto ride dirtbikes but nothing over 250cc. I love the scout and the 883. Which would you recommend?

Hello from Darwin Australia. I love your content always very informative. Just a question in reference to 883 gearboxes. are 883 gearboxes going to be strong enough to handle the extra horsepower and torque increase?? As for better gearbox ratios would be nice to see comparison of stock 1200 vs 883 big bore kit?? Would be nice to see your hammer 1275 kit in a comparison with stock 1200. Standing start drag race, rolling on in 3 gear, anything else you might think off. Thank you for your channel.
