Good job Gixx. Keep talking Sporties and Twin Cams and the subs will keep on coming. No hate for the M8, it's just Twin Cams and Sporties are more affordable at this point in time. Thanks to your vids (amongst some others) I'm pulling the trigger on a Sporty 72 today to sit beside the Rocker C. 👍

I have been enjoying your videos for well over a year, I like the fact the you are aware that a Sportster is not a Girls Bike, I am getting old now, I got first Panhead in 1973, I was 17 years, back then Sportsters were the first choice for the serious rider or serious Club Member, Full Dressers were often called Garbage Wagons, they were slow and did not handle nearly as well as a Sporty, and What a Glorious sound, I appreciate your videos on newer engines and models too, Good ending to your video, you were at 2,200 Subs. Now more than 50,000 Subs and monetized, Good for You.

Hey fella. Good vid. Been following for a little while now. Just got an 883C 2003 Sportster. Totally love it. One thing that may be a good (sort of) upgrade is to place the mirrors under bars and swap sides. This gives a clearer view forwards, better view rear via under your arms and it costs zero. Becoming more tuned in to this channel than most others on YT. Great dedication.

That's a sharp Sporty. My last before I got on a Lowrider,was a 1998 Sportster S .It was set up pretty nice from HD,dual plug heads, single fire ign.adjustable front and rear suspension,more compression,warmer cams.It really sounded nice with a Trapp and billet end cap.Blew every single bulb including headlight while playing open highway one night. Took back roads home using a brite little pocket lite. Dealer actually replaced them all and I left with a rubber FXDL.👍👋

Thats so great that you and your wife can enjoy riding your bikes together It is wise to focus on good spark plug wires and spark plugs I take this very seriously on any of my vehicles. Crank your engine over and make sure you are getting a BLUE spark. Many people are operating engines on a red spark and a red spark will run an engine, but until you have a blue spark your ignition is not right You can get a good blue spark at your plug wire coming from your coil, but does it reduce to red at the spark plug electrodes. Thats why you test the spar plug of your choice for blue spark while cranking your engine over. Also for you bikers that ride at night that led headlight may be a good investment

@@GixxerFooI checed out the price for screaming eagle wires and spark plugs on eaby and found them to be reasonably priced. I may buy these for y harleys when I need them in the future. And yes, a blue spar at the plug electrodes being checked is something I have never seen any popular harley tech video even check or mention, but many times it will be claimed the carburetor is too rich, when in reality a weaker red spark will leave behind unburned fuel and cause a plug to be black. Too many adjustments are made without considering all factors

You really know your stuff, the core of the wire may be the same as stock but the thicker insulation results in less loss to the plug! SE plug wires really aren't that expensive of an upgrade. I think l paid 30 bucks for a set at the dealer. Locally owned and good people there.

​@@GixxerFooOh yes, quality does matter very much. Many of your lesser plug wires actually jump spark to metal areas. Heres something that will make you laugh It was in 1972 I owned a 64 ford galaxy with a 352 V8 and it ran good, but one night I had it running to check something and in the dark ot looked like one hundred flickering christmas lights. Those eight wires were jumping spark from the distributor all the way to the plugs and I never knew this. Sometimes you have to spend some more money to get good things, and you have to decipher because sometimes many things are priced higher when they are worse. Heres another thing most arent aware of and mechanics of today arent even taught this. You have your cold version and hot plug version for any and all gasoline engines The fatter electrode is the cold plug intended for longer driving and riding and trips as to where the hot very has the smaller electrodes for local and for vehicles only used for local operation. A well known harley evo owner that him and his wife travel expained to me his spark plug electrodes would be white and fail on long trips. He showed a picture of these in his video. I informed hi he was using a hot plug and looked up the HD cold plug for the evo harleys with fatter electrodes for longer distance operation. This also is never mentioned in all these tech videos.

I even have the SE Pro tuner (orange one ). So every piece I added to the bike which is a bunch, all came from the dealers inventory. Even my slip on exhaust is stock that were modified by American Custom Exhaust. The best sound of any HD you will hear. Makes those Rinehart crap the dealers push sound like tin cans.

My bike starts a lot faster now with the plugs and wires together on it. I did the plug wires when it was completely stock and I noticed a difference in how the bike felt, but that's just my opinion.

Not a bad idea, it was really easy actually. Just loosened the front mount, removed the rear and supported it with a small block of wood. It gives you plenty of access to fish your old wires out while following through with the new wires.

Air filters/breathers? Have you done a video on different brands/styles of air filter systems for Sportsters? I have a 2003 100th Anniversary XL883C with the traditional "ham can" Screaming Eagle filter system with a K&N filter. What other options do I have to improve performance in that area. I'd really like to see one on that subject. Thanks.

I've heard a lot of guys talk about changing their handlebars but balk when they see the amount of work. The cheaper and easier solution can be changing the risers. Not by too much or you'll need to change out the cables as well.

I ride a 1995 1200 & it originally had buckhorn bars which I still have. I’ve had 5 different bars on my bike, now running roadster bars. It really only takes about 15 minutes to change bars, it’s simple & fun to change them out, just make sure you cover your tank & fender with towels & take your time

Definitely lift the front of your take, use some dielectric grease. Especially on the coil end, it will help slide them on. Also follow your new plug wires with the old ones, that makes installing them a lot easier.

No I just put the led bulbs in, it registers a low voltage like the bulb is out if you run the codes. But it doesn't trigger a CEL, turn signal indicator on the dash will flash indicating like the bulb is out but otherwise everything functions as normal.
