Motorcycles, Motovlogs, and motorcycle road trips. Join me as I do motorcycle things, explore the Ozarks, travel from time to time, and perpetually upgrade my motorcycle. The world is a beautiful place, and we should all strive to see as much of it as possible. There is Truth in beauty.
I try to release a video every Friday afternoon. As time allows, I may post shorter videos from time to time in between.

Hammer 1275 kit might not cost as much as you think since you already have the tuner. Late August early September every year they have 15% off sale and sometimes a Christmas sale. I've had my kit installed two seasons now and my son just done his. Harley should do a recall and install the 1250 or 1275 kit in any and all sportsters that want it😂. it is soo much fun now. If i had it to do over i would've saved up and got the full headwork and cam kit.i still may one day and put my cylinders on the wife's 1200C😂
I figure it will be about 1100 for the 1275 kit, not including paying dave to install it for 500. I will be heading out for Stubborn American next week. I could have gotten the 1275 this year, but then no money for vacation. Gotta get away sometimes :)
@@theorthobiker you won't be sorry dude. Mine is neck and neck with my son's V-Rod up to a hundred. I don't go over the triple digit mark. His bike over a hundred lb more than my 03 and I have more acceleration low to mid and his more mid to high rpm. I was very surprised, mines faster everywhere than my wife's 1200c.
Well.... It works! LOL it ain't broke so I'm not going to fix it 🙂 thank you for pointing it out though!. Really need better lighting in that garage. XD
Dang, I knew you had gotten sick, but didn't know it was that bad. Glad you're feeling (relatively) better, glory to God. God willing, I'll be at your parish feast day, maybe we can chat about doing some motocamping, assuming you enjoy the camping in Ok. Take care and enjoy your trip. When you're in Texarkana, I highly recommend TLC Burger & Fries, it's run by Subdeacon George of All Saints of America in DeQueen.
On my sportster there is a button that lets you cycle through the various options: Trip A, Trip B, Odometer, etc. One of the options should be a gear indicator with a numerical tachometer.
I have a Sporty and I love it, like it more than I did my M8 Softail. It's more raw and just more fun to throw around. Ask any guy saying a Sporty is a girl's bike why they need a leather sofa on two wheels to go down the highway. Sounds like they can't handle a Sportster to me.
After months of riding, can you see a slight improvement ( Its been a while since you uploaded this so you probably forgot ) I plan on buying this exhaust for my Iron 1200
In regards to your comment about believing the Evo the most reliable engine ever built - that is a FACT! HD and even the renowned Matt Laidlaw has said so. One cannot beat it's simplicity and reliability. I've owned my XL883C (later punched out to a 1200) since new in 1999 and have NEVER broken down or leaked any kind of fluid. It's such an awesome bike that I'm still watching videos of the Sportster 25 years later. Love it. Love it. Love it.
put some 412 standards on my 2005 Sportster.....I like them a lot...i wish they were a little softer.....best thing i did was install DK Intimidators in the front forks......my bike feels more Cafe Racer now than a Harley Cruiser.....Love it
Anything hand made you're going to have to expect a waiting period.Its the same with saddlemen seats takes up to 5-7 weeks for those seats to be made and shipped out but they email you everytime it goes through each step of the process so you know what's going on with it.
Chrome, chrome, and more chrome. Any parts that can be replaced with chrome ones, DO IT!! Have the wheels powder coated silver or gold. Whatever you can do to get rid of as much flat black as possible. I see the tank has a dent in it. Fix the dent, and have the tank and fenders painted a light color. Not everyone adds performance parts to their bike. I have had around 50 bikes, and never added a performance part to any of them. Only 2 are Harleys, both Sportsters. I bought a brand new 2006 Sportster 1200L, which I still have, and just recently bought a 2002 883 Sportster 883, when I realized H-D was canceling the Sportster. I put slip on mufflers on the 1200, not for performance, but for sound. The 883 already came with slip ons. Both still have stock air cleaners. I'm more interested in looks, sound, and reliability. I have added extra chrome to both. I put a sissy bar and removeable saddlebags on the 1200. I have ridden over a million miles without a windshield. I tried a couple, they caused such extreme helmet buffeting that I immediately removed them. A full face helmet works just fine. Being out in the wind, hearing and feeling the engine are a big part of what riding a motorcycle means to me.
Great vid Bro....,..I'm from the UK and ride Espania every year for around 4 weeks.....Spain gets very hot down south (40+ deg). An old American rider told me about sheepskin seat covers way back.....Sheepskin actually puts air between yo azz and the vinyl/leather seat and helps drastically with betty swallocks.(look it up)... 3 TO 4000 MILES IN HEAT AND COMFORT ALL D WAY.....The fella knew his stuff ......Ride safe people.
I have the Memphis shades Delray sport shield. I have an older video that covers the install and thoughts on the windscreen. I've had it for a while now and it works really well, Even more so now that I'm sitting more upright and further back away from it. Though I do wish it was a little taller simply to cut out the wind noise in my videos
They're not earth shattering by any means, but they do make a noticeable difference to the ride, especially if you have someone that can "tune" your front suspension properly
I've had a 16 sportster, 22 low rider s, and I currently have a 23 road king and the sportster got more smiles, waves, and compliments than the softail, and road king combined.
I might have to see what you got. I think I found a nice tent. Ever hear of @wingmanoftheroad? They make a cool tent called the goose, and it has the sleeping bag and sleeping pad built into the tent. Its pretty neat.
