Are you sure that’s the V3 tail light? It looks like their new V4 which is fkn AWESOME!! Best tail light out there PERIOD
Did I say v3 ? I definitely meant v4 lol. My bad!! Yes it’s the v4 tail light!!
jesus how much chat are we supposed to listen to before you just show us how to tie down the bloody thing !!! 13mins long !!!!
You could listen to 0 chat and piss right off actually
Bro I got the moons mc integrated as well but no harness so my stock set up that plugs in doesn't work will u please send me the step by step which wires go where do mine can work ? Thank u and thank u for your demos you been a big help!!
You’ll need the h4 headlight adapter. Amazon sells them. I have a few videos with the process shown for headlights like that and they include links to the headlight adapter too
I was talking about my tail light .y u said headlight.is the h4 Usable for taillight tough?
I thought I read headlight. My bad man. I’m confused. The moons tail light didn’t come with the wiring harness?
There's absofuckenlutey NO way "Silicone Sealant " or three bond would be suckered through the breather ports
Ok
You said you were on the shorter side to enjoy forward controls.. How tall are you and what’s your inseam? I’m 5.10 and was thinking of ditching my mids for forward. I feel a little cramped up after an hour or so… but I also have a bobber solo seat which doesn’t help. Thanks in advance…
5 08 and 28 inch inseam
I have a trask air cleaner but it came with n9 external breather system ,do I need this ?if it's so important why did it not come with the cleaner ?
What is n9? What clever are you talking about? I don’t know if it’s typos but there’s a lot I don’t understand about this. Sorry, trying to answer you !
Hi, I’m about to trailer a sport bike and picked up some regular ratchet straps, how would you recommend I use them for the front tie down? I ask because it looks like the straps you used don’t have the metal hooks that come with “regular” ratchet straps. Thanks!
You can do what I just did with the hooks also instead of looping it around, but if you have very skinny ratchet straps like the typical straps you buy for a few bucks at the store then I would not recommend doing it with those because they are just too flimsy. You can do the old-school train of thought. It’s just going to not be great, but you can only use what your straps are capable of doing.
Really nice bags .
I agree. Thanks! They’ve been holding up great too
Hack job 😂
How so??
I have this in my 911, but damn these hurt the wallet
Agreed. But worth it I think!
May be asking too soon, but did you just get the clutch kit? Or did you add the billet drive hub they offer? Im curious if adding it is worth it or if the one pre installed on that kit was good enough. Also trying to avoid tracking down a press
What you see is all I installed
First time using the squeeze bottle and I did the same thing over oiling it, it was leaking a little onto the frame of my bike. Hoping after dabbing it with a microfiber for a little bit it should be good haha
Yeah that should fix it man
P4 gen 2 with hose extensions for the win
👍🏻
I’m 5’10” on a 23’ Softail Std with a Saddleman step-up and 13” works for me and a 15” would probably be even better but I can cruise 80mph on highway and not get any of that Buffeting. It’s weird how it’s so different across the board for everyone.
Agreed man. It’s very weird
Thinking about buying the explorer RS for my 2016 heritage softail. Same thing it just has the pillow top look. I like to sit deep down into the bike which is why I like softails. I hope the seat keeps that feeling.
It will a little bit but not as much as a step up
Thank you very much for this video, it helped a lot!!
Happy to help!
Jim’s tool says it’s unavailable on Amazon..what would be a good alternative?
For the main shaft nut? Or for chain alignment
Jay-soos .....get your s@#t together Before.... you start recording .......
Chris, great video. Currently has belt drive n recently discovered that my rear belt pulley has slight bent whivh attached(stamped ring) on back side of oem pulley during my routine maintenance from HD dealer. They recommend strongly to replace a new oem pulley. I am in the fence post considering going with chain conversion if possible. Questions , once I installed a chain drive, do i need to re- dyno my bike, furthermore, can i still utilize belt cover with chain drive, and woould this grease sling all over the rear n especially my clamshell saddlebags? Appreciate your feedback.
I will pretty much always recommend a chain conversion. It’s just my style. As far as getting the bike on a dino, no you do not have to get a different tune because it would change nothing, even if you went with a different gear ratio you still would not have to change the tune because, the engine itself is doing the exact same work. It’s just the final drive ratio that has changed if that makes sense. Yes, I have known people that still utilize the belt guard with the chain. I don’t think it’s necessarily advised because the chain moves and kind of slaps around a lot. But I know people that have kept it on for several hundred miles with no issue. I removed mine instantly obviously. As far as grease getting all over your bike, not if you use good products and you don’t over apply. I have used maxima spray wax with amazing results. No sling off. Just don’t over apply. I use muc off degreaser to clean it and remove old wax
Hi Chris, AWSOME video. What gear ratio with front n rear sproket for 20 low rider s? I want to keep it stock configuration unless you have better suggestions. Appreciate it.
All right, so if you want to keep it stock, you have a couple different options for the most part. Any chain conversion kit you decide to go with should tell you what the stock gearing is for you to get a comparable set up. Weather is Speed Kings, Bulkin, Bung King, sprocket center, any website should give you what the stock gearing would be as an option
And thanks!!
I bought my pv4 from fuel moto, how do I get the tune from them. When I setup my app and paired my device all that was available were dynojet maps
They email you the tune. Did you tell them specifics about your setup like they request at checkout?
Wow, nice save Dad. Well handled. I just had a kickstand issue and got it repaired. My bike is raised a bit from a taller shock and forks raised in the triple trees and a taller rear tire, my kickstand ejected a retaining pin. So I was looking for ways to help it. But I ride so hard that I got orange peel on my rear tire and rebound wear patterns, So anything that takes my lean angle and ground clearance away is just unacceptable. Seeing you go off the edge, that was a very smart save. I saw it and "OH SHI..." Well played. Thank you for the vid.
Yeah I puckered a lot during the rest of that tail ride based on that lol. Sketchy but could have been way way way worse so thankful I was able to recover
Do you suggest upgrading everything while doing these clutch disks? I got the Koso lifter plate as a gift but it’s only for 3 bolts and 60% springs. Will that be fine or should I get the basket made to upgrade all 6 springs and a better lift plate ? (Hopefully I said all that right)
You can do just the diy setup I did with the springs. The better plate is an upgrade but not needed really. All up to you. But you’ll be fine with the minimum like I did
It's one drop every 2-3 hours. No big deal.
Nah. Some bikes are worse than others and if you ride aggressively it’s worse too. Even 1-2 drops every few hours is more than you want coming back in to the intake
@@RidinDad You are correct. I use the filtered breather bolts from DK Customes and they have never leaked a drop on my 2019 Tri-Glide. I'm adding them to my 2024 Road Glide 3 this weekend. Newer M8's are not supposed to be as bad.
That’s good
only cost $1000 for 1 headlight.
Headlight itself is not 1k. The mount and wiring harness added to the light makes the total cost about that high. But it is well worth it
I’ve never seen anyone else mention the pin. Do you have to put it in the hole that you want and then put the back rest in? Trying to understand how that part work with adjusting. Great video!
Thanks! Yeah, the pin is just a stopper so that the backrest wont get pushed down in to the seat further than what you selected.
Well I'm super glad yours was a fvckin piece of cake. I'm working with the most frustrating wire setup I've ever ran into Its turned my brain into a double baked pretzel man. FFS, I'm bout to just smash it. Time for a new bike🤘🏿
Was it a used bike? What’s going on?
Just never ever never & I mean EVER!!! Buy a Ruroc
You can’t knock the comfort. Gotta be honest. They’re comfortable for sure
Check out the Vulcan Chain Tensioner its awesome.
I’ll look in to it!
I just used a mini oil separator canister for an air compressor. Works great.
Yeah man. Tons of options!
How were you able to record your voice audio in this video? I have a GoPro max and I don’t understand any of this😪
I record separate audio on a purple panda microphone wired to a Tascam dr05. Then I sync both audio tracks on the computer and then delete the GoPro audio track.
@@RidinDad wanna do a video on it?👀 I don’t see a lot of videos that explain in detail good enough
@tj1207 yes I do! It’s on my list of things to make a video for. Unfortunately right now I’m spending every minute of my time on putting my house back together so it’ll be a while for a new video sadly.
Is that block made of hard plastic or it is something else?
Metal
Definitely agree with your analysis and results. I am 6’1” and I tried everything on my fat bob from the 17” to the 7”. Some vented, some not. All had buffeting just in slightly different areas and speeds. Especially because I like to run my visor open with sunglasses at times. Now I just run no fairing. Just easier with the clean air. At least I know I just ain’t alone lol.
Yeah man it’s frustrating!!! I don’t know how people use them. I feel like it produces buffetting for everyone and some people either just don’t care or are not as sensitive to it as others
i know this was a year ago but dam @davelafontaine1709 is apparently YOUR BIGGEST HATER For no reason
lol yeah man 🤷♂️ I don’t know. Dave feels very strongly about my video 😂
I’ve heard Baker make good gear in that department
Yeah they do
Did the same mistake with too much oil. I also went the lazy route and just tried to get rid of the excess oil. 2 days later the map sensor on my car stopped working likely from oil being sucked into it. Man cleaning these things just aint worth the effort from now on I'll just buy new filters 😄
Yeah I hear ya. Cleaning them is barely required and new filters aren’t expensive
Long series 1/4-20 tap, go threw first hole, tap second, no drilling
Yeah could have done that. But none of my local shops carry those tape. Trask has fixed this issue now anyway with a solid adapter plate they include with the external breather kit. I have videos on it
I bought one of those seats for my 2011 XL883N, it has orange stitching and orange piping. The seat is far more comfortable than the stock Iron 883 seat. The seat cost me £155 here in the UK, I consider it a worthwhile upgrade.
Yeah it’s not a bad option at all
Bro !!! You have a broken garage door spring !! Be careful the operator is not gonna hold for long !! And great vid !
Thanks man! And yeah someone else pointed it out too lol. Been like that ever since we moved in. Still going strong! I use it like 3/5 times a day. I’ll fix it at some point lol
Was with you till you cut the belt, one bolt dude 🤦🏻♂️
You make it sound so simple. It’s not. It’s a long process. And what am I gonna do with a used belt?
its said that ruroc is heavier than a shoei neotec 2 thats not a good thing. They shouldve sold this for around 200, Maybe people wouldnt mind their quality issues.
Exactly! They are comfortable though. Gotta give them that. But yeah, heavy and very big
when you take off the Ferring in the front can you still use the stock headlight or no?
Yes but it looks really bad due to the mounting plate that’s used
@@RidinDad damn... any good after market options? I'm so close to buying the 24 lowrider S but... the ferring is just aint it for me LOL
Memphis shades road warrior is very popular. Saddlemen has a mini fxlrst fairing. There’s replica FXR fairings
Damn for that price and I have to baby it about possibly scratching it. I’ll pass but cool video.
Anything with a coating that you just bought you’d want to ensure you didn’t ding it up by using bare wrenches on it. Any part would be the same. I appreciate the watch. You only have to be careful when installing it with the tools. Beyond that it’s normal and has a good coating
When did you change the oil after breaking?
I sold it. But I would typically say like 500-1000 miles depending on how you ride
I was looking at this same tail light/turn signal combo on the eagle website along with an LED headlight for my sporty. Can you recommend a sleek low profile LED front turn signal relocation kit?
What exactly do you want from the turn signal kit? A relocation kit of the stock turn signals is not gonna be a low profile item. There are tons of options for low profile front turn signals that are different from the stock bullets, but it’s not a relocation kit. So I don’t really know what you are looking for exactly.
@@RidinDad I saw some LED turn signal rings that went on the fork tubes a while back, but ultimately just trying to clean up the bars and downsize the stock bullets
Yeah there’s a few companies that make those led strips that wrap around the forks. Look at custom dynamics. Their set is very nice.
Dude , i get that you want views but topic is misleading . No usable info on buffeting . Your naked bike setup is grate , but WTF?
lol what are you even saying? It was literally all about buffetting and what I have tried and my results
Topic is not misleading at all. Was it titled: this is what I did to fix buffetting? No, no it wasn’t
Feuling similar but superior design. Their system comes with threaded plugs block off blow by.
2 things. First, fueling’s setup didn’t even exist when this came out or when I made this video. Took them a while to get their product out. Second, trask has fixed their design and I’ve posted updated videos of it. They include a solid adapter plate with no holes with their external breather kit.
@@RidinDad gotcha
Thanks for this review bro, it made my decision so much easier, I was between the explorer and the sdc, but after this, I’m going with the explorer!
Hell yeah! Sdc is awesome and looks great. But you can’t beat the comfort of the explorer. Happy to help! 👊🏻
great videos, thanks! I own the same Superlow and will install the SS 883 to 1200 conversion kit (just the cylinders and pistons). Do you think I can rely on pv3 or pv4 for tuning after the upgrade? Because there are no reliable shops who can dyno tune my bike here in Bulgaria.
With anything can job and up you need a shop to tube. A pv3 or 4 will be able to have a downloaded tune specific to your bike but it won’t be very good. Possibility of running lean or rich amongst other issues. I know you don’t have a close shop but you need to just bite the bullet and bring it to a place that’ll tune it. Even if it’s a few hours away. You can rent a trailer/truck etc. I know it’s not ideal but there’s no substitution for a real shop tune with that kind of engine work
@@RidinDad thanks a lot for your swift response. It helps a lot to make the right decision, because here in Europe we have to pay almost double for all American aftermarket products:)
Yeah that sucks!
Still here in 2024. What year was the 883 you installed these on?
Done it on a 13 and 14 now.
