MY SPORTSTER 883 TO 1200 UPGRADE / S&S HOOLIGAN KIT / NEW ENGINE SOUND / HARLEY DAVIDSON 

My dream bike, Bless me for dream comes true,🤗 love from Assam, INDIA

You will notice around 500-550 miles that the engine will be more eager to rev freely; it is definitely worth the break-in time. WHen my conversion was done, I shifted into 2nd at 20mph, third at 30 mph, fourth at 40 mph and stayed away from fifth unless I was going downhill. You do not want to lug a Sportster in fifth gear, as that is quote hard on the bottom end. Best of luck with your NEW bike!

What an amazing job the guys did. Great to see Tom again love this guy fantastic technician.

I learnt more in 5 minutes about HD clutches than I never knew ....

I dont even ride, but i do work on cars (specifically GTR R35). However, watching this, i caught myself with a smile!! Enjoyed it very much. Good content!! Keep it up!!

crazy just a days work and you can have such a massive increase in power ! got to love the sportster for that

If you noticed the old pistons they had loads of blowby down past the rings this is becouse the engine was run in gentally for 500-1000 miles .... use a minerial oil and run them up and down the gears and revs for 20-30 miles then the rings are bedded in. Keep the oil in there for 100-200 miles then change to the usual oil. All the engines ive built i do the same bike engines only put oil on the skirt bore and ring pack dry .... i did this with a Suzuki DRZ using a 436 kit and it never used a drop of oil in 42000 miles. S&S do some nice kits bet it rides well with loads of grunt !

It feels like a big difference in power from the 883 to 1200 . I’m gonna do the hammer performance 120 hp kit this winter . Nice bike beautiful girl !

The bike looks amazing, I hope it performs as well as it looks. I am sure it will

on my 2012 I got rid of that spring plate too, the Barnett clutches are easy to work with. One thing I like about the rubber mount Sporties the primary cover bolts are all the same size. Back in the rigid mounts days a modified 883/1200 would outrun a stock 1200 off the line due to the lower gearing, if I remember in the USA the 883 had 27 tooth counter shaft sprocket and the 1200 had a 29 tooth, the HDI (Harley Davidson International) models had different gearing than those in the USA. Here in the USA they used to sell an "International" belt and drive pulley kit. But the stock 1200 would run away once it got rolling, it did have bigger valves and could rev to a higher rpm of course with the right parts you get the same results. Funny thing I never modified the engines on may 96, 02 and 2012 Sportsters. I had a 92 1200 and I bobbed the fender and messed it up, that was the time that the Movie Harley-Davidson and the Marlboro Man" came out" and a lot of us were modifying our bike to look like Mickey Rourke's bike.😆 Lucky for me the local Harley parts store had a few fenders and I was able to put my bike back to a rideable condition.

Today I met a harley Davidson employee. We talked about the years and when 1200 came in. He said this bike never needed to come apart. Good riding.

Congratulations on the upgrade, great hooligan bike. Btw, I love your accent 👍 safe riding.

It's a lovely looking bike only came across you channel 2 days ago and hadn't seen this one with the upgrade. I see you really like the Sportster.👍

I can't call it a wee Harley anymore! Full bore, big cubes badass now! It sounds brilliant and it's running great again... happy new 1200 buddy. You just levelled up 😎🏅👏👏

Love your sprit girl. Any reason to ride. You go girl. God bless and ride save. Enjoy the extra power

Absolutely bad assed , it sounds so good , cammed up just a bit , you are indeed a hooligan , baroness of sorts , cannot wait till it is run in , sounds awesome , be safe my gal , and cheers .

Nice upgrade! Those guys were cool for letting you hang around while they worked.

I love how sparrow looks,enjoying following your adventures, hope you are well and enjoying your bike

Sew the spring plate to the back of your riding jacket. Or on the side of your saddle bags.

Regarding your S&S filter, it’s not a cover protecting against rain, it’s the piece of plastic that makes your filter legal in Europe. Check S&S website and you will see that the regular Stealth air filter comes without this special ring. And S&S makes a rain sock for it.

Love the new sound - This day belongs to you!

Следующим летом 100% мимо вас поеду, классные вы ребятушки 🤗

@11:50 I haven't got a workshop manual for a Harley - but the head bolts will be designed to be fitted wet or dry - if these are the dry type - by lubing the bolts as you did will cause over-torqueing of the bolt on reassembly. Similarly installing bolts dry when they are supposed to be wet will cause them to be under-torqued. It's not a "good idea" to lube critical bolts unless they are designed to be installed that way.

Your response about the color made my day :) just wanted to point out why I asked, like in this video, it seems darker and richer in color than the grey in most other instances.

Enough teasing the stop overs. Back to the bike 😄 bike looks great.

All bikes are brilliant but you can't beat that sound sounded sweet as

I installed a Hammer Performance 1275 big bore kit approx 1000 miles ago and it freakin rocks you’re going to love it…. Wait the pistons were installed in the cylinders why did he take them out it’s so much easier to install them just push them down and attach the wrist pin I’ve done it this way twice already and it works mint. Plus I believe you paid to have them pre installed in the barrels.

I know I would be over the Moon and as happy as she is. Inspirational video. You get sparrow I've got a Betty.

HAHA So...Size Does Matter! Great to see the tear dowm and have a few tidbits in the viewing. The guy’s are really knowlegable and have a great shop!

I swear this is the fucking sickest video I have ever seen in all of RU-vid. Instantly subscribed!

Wait, did you just give away the maiden voyage to someone else? I would have had the first ride, even if only on the parking lot outside.

Can’t recommend S&S enough. Real quality. Had a 106” fitted to my old twin cam and currently have a 1250 hooligan on my CX Roadster. Ride safe and enjoy!

That clutch spring plate would look great made into a wall clock

Nice bike! Congrats on the upgrade!

Fabulous soon you will be able to enjoy the beast ,and wonder why you did this 40,000 miles ago

Wondering if you have done the Cam Chain Tensioner yet, my 2003 Road King needed it at 50,000 Kms. Looks like a great shop to get work done, all about trust on our bikes. 👍😎

Brilliant video, I'm glad you finally upgraded as I know you've been wanting to for a while, I'd be interested to know what you think.....I found it a bit nippier, specially on the acceleration

Great video, very entertaining and informative, thank you!

I was curious what is exactly stage 3. Thanks for sharing this! As always, fun, entertaining and informative. Brilliant job! You girl rock filming, hosting and editing all yourself 🙌

Nice bike, I really think the 883 with a 1200 kit is faster then an actual 1200 sportster 🤘🤘

Nice upgrade! I ride an Indian Scout Bobber and plan on doing the Big Bore Kit - you'll have to report back on the fun from the added power :-)

Hello, my new friend. Wow, it's a motorcycle that's so moving and beautiful 💖💝💚 video. I'm glad to be your great channel friend 💗💞🌳 Have a lucky day 🌷💜❤ 👍👍👍🤙👌

Sounds soooo good with that hooligan!!!

Mate I am so jealous. Would love to do the same to mine. Totally awesome. From Queensland Australia. Mmm Harley.

That's such a sick motorcycle.

The larger diameter valve was the inlet valve not the exhauast.

Wow! Totally awesome! New subscriber as of this moment 😊

Love this video. Bikes and great tunes.

That's really cool... Love this bike!!

I would make a clock a lamp or even a sculpture. I make mini motorcycles with steel I think you would like them

Oh no why always your videos has to be ended I need more more, congrats for the 1200 ride safe Tom, that sporty is now more aggressive and fast

U should do a Riding Video ,, After upgrade to 1200....!!

The Hammer Performance 1275 big bore kit would've been a better choice in my opinion. More power than the S&S KIT.

That 1200 sounds sweet!!!

What exhaust is that? And what handlebars? Thanks, just curious. Cool bike! 😎

I like the sissy bar. Good for slotting luggage over. I bet you like the newfound performance.

Круто🤘 продал свой xj6na, думаю HD iron 1200 купить, но вот вопрос как он в дальнем путешествие, ноги не затекают?)

4:17 that's the inlet valve no? the exhaust is the smaller lighter coloured one...

That was a brilliant insight 👏👏now be gentle with her ❤️Xxx

love my sportster but I HAD to do a forward control kit install. The mid controls were so annoying.

We want to know what it rides like now. I have a 1988 Lowrider, that I fitted a hot cam and upgraded carb, fantastic power upgrade, but also uses a lot more fuel, dropped from 55 mpg to 35 mpg. I wonder what you range comes down to with the larger motor, and if you need a larger tank?

Harley - Davidson Number 1.🌎🏍🇺🇸🦅 #Freedom.🗽❤

Your bike sounded good before.. now it sounds even better! 😍 it was a bjt of a tease at the end lol

I don't know but, alittle bit of headwork 883 heads r diff. then 1200 heads. if ya wanna pump air ya gotta have the holes.

So the sparrow has new wings ...hold tight and enjoy the ride ...

When you get leather side saddles for the bike it could go on the saddle

Bravo Diemante!

The future however is electric. You get over 50 kW from 7 kg motor and you don't have moving parts to worry on maintenance and no headaches on benz prices

Cool and great sounds ! Enjoy your journey 😀

Looks great and what an awesome proper upgrade… Enjoy…..

What about using the spring plat to make a headlight surround not sure how the size will look but it would be different

Merry Christmas in July, dear gal! Great work guys! Cheers to my mates in England! Ride safe!

Halo for that angel on a demonic Harley. 🤙

woo amezing and so so good. GOD be with you.

G'day 🤠 gnarly sounding Harley...😎

Your bike sounds so awesome

Gots to weld fill those squish rings and give it that bathtub shape it equals more boom!!!!

Come on Guys...You could have given the Lady a port and polish ! ; - )

Congrats!!!!!

I would love to hear Dr. Jekill & Dr. Hyde exhaust pipe on it

Brilliant. Much luv from Florida ...

It does sound angry; can't wait for your review.

I love the mudguard and fuel tank of thik bike

Next upgrade is certainly a bigger tank to cope with more petrol consumption.... unless you like spending lots of time looking for gas stations.

Nice bike and video! Would you please share how you got the remap, is it a Screaming eagle flashed to the ECU of the bike? Shall a separate module required for purchase for the remap or the guys did it from their laptop?

Hi watched this , just to see how its done , see you went from 883 to 1200 , did you do a re-map of the fueling to account for the cc up-grade/air filter change , and what did the parts cost , did fueling re - map come with the kit ? . any noticeable difference on the bottom end while riding the bike ?

Tomboy, you should see some of my leather work, i make all sorts

Awesome video bike sounds amazing Joey here from Los Angeles CA, 2 Questions First question (WHAT KINDA OF EXHAUST I THAT YOUR USING AND DID. THE GENTLEMAN SAY HES PUTTING OIL ON UOUR HEAD BOLT??? I KNOW HE DID. IM ONLY ASKING CAUSE IM IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THE SAME GOT ,1200 KEITH BLACK PISTONS HARLEY 1200 CYLONDERS FUELING LIFTERS S @ ẞ quickie pushrods and covers S@S valve spring kit,they say there good for .585 lift which is more than enough. I guess I do have three questions 1. What exhaust? 2.Did he say oil the headbolts man I think I was wrong I thought Locktite! Glad I seen this awesome fun cool video Last and most important question,can you ask them or what do you think a really good cam is???I've been stuck for months,besides obviously having to set aside a weekend or more,can'take a decision on a cam.if you do see this,I totally enjoyed it and would appreciate any feedback

With the increased power, since your bike is air cooled, why didn't you install an oil cooler?

The sound of a Harley Davidson 😍

Did you use the same head cylinder?. Nice video greetings from Argentina!!

45000 miles on it she actually rides it good on her

wondering what helmet that guy was wearing at the end, its a sick looking helmet. Lovely bike, hope to have something like it again oneday

I want a workshop like that at home

Ooh going up to 1200cc 😎🤘 I didn't think you could go that higher cc. Awesome 😀. Should be a rocket now 🚀. Cool leather wallet & toolroll etc. The new air cleaner looks great. Yep gotta run the updated motor in 🏍️👍 Ps Id fill / weld the centre of that clutch ring with a cool design to make it into a custom mug tea / coff coaster ☕

Badass😃 enjoy the ride!!!

I think you'll enjoy your new power

Awesome video! Sounds amazing!

great job guys..!!

Excellent choice on the S&S kit!! 🤟🏼
