In this video I take my stock 2005 Harley Davidson Sportster and change over some easy parts to change the look. I am really happy with how it came out!

Great job!! For a guy who says he's not a mechanic he sure as hell did some fine work on this old Sporty!! I'd hire him to do these mods on my bike any day of the week! Anyway the only down side with the air filter is that if you are not a fair-weather rider and do some riding in the rain, the filter will get wet. If the stock air cleaner is to bulky and gets in your way I suggest and S&S tear drop air cleaner. It's a classic/iconic look, smaller in profile and has a housing to protect from the rain while still getting more air intake.

Of all the Harley videos...yours was the only one that helped me figure out removing the front signals, so I could flip the mirrors. Keeping the stock signals on...but am very impressed with those thin adhesive LEDs. May get some, and add them lower on the forks, or possibly the engine guard...low and wide. I have the same back rest and pad... going to gloss it, also. Thanks for posting...nice work, looks great.

Nicely done! I can fix almost anything around the house but I know very little about cars and I'm certainly not a motorcycle mechanic. This was fun to watch and I could easily do the things you did on my own bike. I used to have a bike. It's been a while but I'm looking to get one again within the next year. Nice to know I can do these upgrades myself. It's saves some money and makes owning a bike even more fun when you do it yourself. One thing - Don't paint the driveway stones! Next time put down some cardboard when you paint! You know dad would've slapped ya upside the head for that! lol

Can you please tell me specifically how you were able to get those rear blinkers loose, I have a 2002 HD sportster and there is no nut under fender and those things won't budge? I would greatly appreciate any help, as I have a sissy bar I want to mount but need to get the stock backrest off and blinkers are in the way.
@jeremymann8930
@jeremymann8930 4 года назад
Another quick mod is to flip the mirrors under the bars, and it actually helps visibility a lot in my experience. Note when you do this you'll have to swap sides so Right mirror goes under Left grip and vise versa

Really enjoyed the video, I did a few mods to my 2002 1200 Sportster. The issue I have now is the rear exhaust header pipe is putting off excessive heat and very uncomfortable to ride. I use heat wrap & a fiberglass heat shield, problem not resolved. Do you have this issue with your Harley? I've been given different suggestions, raise the gas tank, remove the catalytic conv, change exhaust system, change air intake, switch to synthetic oil, etc., any thoughts? Thanks, Brian

Stuck at home due to the virus, been tinkering with my Sportster. Got rid of the huge S&S air cleaner and put a smaller wire mesh filter on which (I think) looks much better. Thing is, it has no connection to the cylinder head breathers. As an engineer, the sight of empty threaded holes makes my brain itch, but will it really affect the way the bike runs? I've seen some little breather bolts with wire mesh screens built in, are they worth getting?
@ryker4124
@ryker4124 2 года назад
Just a couple things that I noticed. The plate holder needs a light. The tail light is illegal because the turn signals are not spaced far enough apart. Your throttle and clutch cables are running in front of your forks, should not do that for safety. Like to know what headlight you used because I couldn't get one that fit in the housing.

Your bike looks much better now. In my state, those turn signals must have a running light mode besides the blinker mode. I like to make the rear lights red in every mode for safely. I do have a phobia about being rear-ended by a car. I was close to that happening may years ago and was lucky the driver looked up just in the nick of time to stop withing about six inches of me. Your new sadle looks great, btw.
