I finally got my 1275 Conversion done on my Iron man it's a night and day difference I had to have Aaron Wilson build a base map for mine because of my Cams & Injector size. I'm a very large rider on a Sportster 6'2" 325lb and it pulls me around effortlessly If I wouldn't of watched Your video months ago I would have never done the conversion but man it's way worth the investment makes a Sporty so much more fun to ride.
Man your bike looks and sounds so good! And that power, wow, so nice! I have an '01 Sportster (old solid mount with carb), that I just recently finished a 1275 build with Andrews N4 cams, and of course carb re-jetting, new barnett clutch, new valves, head work, new lifters, etc. I could not even believe the power difference, it's a beast and actually kind of scary at first. I definitely wasn't used to that much power, since I've been riding my bike as an 883 for nearly twenty years. But anyway it's awesome and I'm loving it, and still getting used to having so much power, it feels like it's trying to get out from under me. It used to be just a motorcycle and now it's a true beast of a bike!
Next winter I'm installing the Hammer Performance 1275 120+hp kit on my 2000 Hugger. It already has a 1250 kit on it, I believe it's an S&S but I want more horses, more torque, more everything
@@samperez525 haven't done it yet. With work hours the way they are I haven't even had time to enjoy the bike this year so far. Just installed a Dakota digital MCL-3200 speedometer, still trying to figure out how to calibrate it lol
Thank you. I appreciate it. I used a go pro with the chest mount. I since have got a stabilizer but between working full time and working on my masters degree I have not had time to film or edit.
It sure is fun. The 48 really rolls out, but sometimes I find myself wishing I had gone a little bigger on the head and cam combination. However, 100hp is more than enough for the street. I wish I had some more twisties in town. This is my first video so I learned a bit. I know the viewing angle was not the best but I did what could with my gopro and chest mount. Thanks for watching!
Sam Perez please advise what mods/upgrades you did and also what you wished you did. Thinking about getting one of these. What do you think of your friends vrod and what upgrades did he have.
I called the HD dealer in San Jose looking for A Voltage regulator for 2914 883n $225. It's a $60. Part. I gladly payed DB Electric $80. Thanks DB Electric out of Tennessee.
I would like to see your side profile as you ride. I have to guess your leaned in town reach those bars. I love that look of flat track bars and you mc runs sik! Gave me some ideas for mine
Impact level headwork from Hammer Performance. Very reliable. About 5k on the build. All the mods are listed in description of one of my other videos. I only have like three videos up...lol
You still have this bike? Im in the austin area and have a similar build it would be cool to go riding. There are a few other hammer sportys around here i ride with.
@@samperez525 roger impact 560, noted ,you have the this bike ripping out ,sounds like 7kRPM , INJECTIONpipes 👌,im in Australia and the sporty is affordable, looking a an iron 8 or nighster ,,and then im getting hammered ,happy days
Are you still riding this bike Sam? I just bought a pair of cylinder head cores to send up to Hammer Performance I'm gonna have the SMASH porting done with valves and springs. I was curious how many miles you had on your motor now and if you had any issues so far or if everything is still golden.
I found it on revzilla. It is called "Drag Specialties Pop-Up Low-Profile Gas Cap For Harley" they offer a black and chrome version. Kuryakyn also makes one but mine is Drag Specialties. You have the option for vented, non vented and dummy cap with Drag Specialties.
I’m going to call hammer them selfs. What sounds like it’s supercharged tho? Is that the fuel pump or timing? And mods needed other then motor work and the obvious air cleaner exhaust ?
That sound is the drive train / extra clutch plate. I would get adjustable pushrods to measure the geometry and adjust. Hammer will try to sell you regular ones which is fine if the geometry is on point but I like to double check. Adjustable push rods are fatter and can sometimes be the culprit of ticking as they bounce in the tube. Thats the trade off I suppose. Hammer will tell you everything you need. You will need to upgrade the stock clutch and diaphragm spring. You will need to buy rear tires more often as well.
I am using the HD oil cooler part number 62700082. Jagg also makes one but I did not like the adapter that mounts to the oil filter housing. The HD part attached almost directly to the oil pump. I had it covered with paper due to having nice weather but South Texas gifts ambient temperatures of over 100 degrees during the summer so I felt I needed it. My oil temp stays at about 200-220 in the oil tank on long highway trips.
Shit thats a nice setup , i have a question how much did everything cost ? And what do i need to change on the bike if i setup a v&h shortrow pipes and filter ?
The easy answer is to call Hammer Performance and get a quote done for your specific needs. The cost really depends on what services you have performed and what parts you go with. Average, work like this will cost about 3k. Money can be saved if you do the install yourself, which was the original plan but I knew that it needed to be tuned immediately so I let the shop handle the internals while I did the most I could externally. 2-1 exhaust is almost always better than 2-2 because of exhaust scavenging. Im not sure if you have fuel management parts but I recommend Power Vision. It has an auto tune feature for when you have only intake and exhaust. I made 75hp with the heavy breather intake, bassani 2-1 exhaust, and power vision tuner. It can hold multiple tunes which is a plus if you plan to switch back and forth from race fuel to pump gas. TTS master tune is also good but I prefer Power Vision. When you have the internal parts and are ready to get it tuned by a professional, they can work off that same fuel management system.
It has to do with compression, rod length, and the number of pistons given the same displacement. Other brands can rev higher due to smaller rod length but torque suffers a bit as a result. Gearing too plays a big role. Each brand has its pros and cons.
There are a few air cooled v twins out there making over 150hp. Some baggers make over 300hp for that matter. Ive seen some make as much as 400hp. You can find them on youtube.
This is stage 3.5 ish because I am still running the original crank shaft and rods. You get the extra 75cc from bored out cylinders and fitting a larger piston in there. This makes it move more air, thus increasing the CCs. Then you remove some material from the head to up the compression. The deep dish in the piston helps make up for any volume of air that would have been removed by decking the heads. Finish it up with some high lift cams and you have yourself double the power from factory. If your'e interested in a build like this, talk to Hammer Performance. They can get you set up with the parts you need for your desired power level.

Let them know what you're looking for and they can give you the best scenarios as they see this kind of stuff on a daily basis.

Sam Perez Does the instalation was made by yourself or did you took it to a mechanic? Does the instalation required you to make measurement of lobe clearence, valve lift etc etc? I'm planning on do something similar to my 48 but I'll like to make it myself at home.
Hammer performance sells you everything you need to do it yourself at home. I originally purchased the kit to do it all at home but did not want to stick with stock lifters and stock pushrods. The kit was measured out for those stock parts so I had shamrock cycles do the measuring with the new parts to be safe. I installed Screaming eagle heavy breather and bassani 2-1 exhaust along with fuel management before taking it to the tuner.
I have not thought that far ahead. I am currently working on a masters degree so I have not had a chance to upload or ride. I may just sell my Harley soon to help with the cost of school. Still thinking about it but if I had a cash offer sweet enough, the bike will have a new owner.

Valve train ticking is normal considering those mechanisms are only under an aluminum cover right at the top of the motor where you can hear them even better. It is common for Evolution motors to sound like a sewing machine. What you hear is the pushrods hitting against the inside of the pushrod tubes. This is quite common on EVO's with adjustable pushrods because they're fatter. Especially the front one because of the angle.
Different strokes for different folks. With 100db at idle I didn't want to take out the baffles, not to mention that EFI bikes prefer a little back pressure.
Bassani 2-1 Exhaust and the rest of the mods are: 1275 kit from Hammer Performance Impact 560 cams. Impact level headwork. Tuned by Shamrock Cycles in Texas Screaming Eagle Heavy Breather (vented to atmosphere)

No. I have a Dynojet Power Vision
Why doesn't Harley just make more power with the same displacement? Works on all the other brands.
It has to do with compression, rod length, and the number of pistons given the same displacement. Other brands can rev higher due to smaller rod length but torque suffers a bit as a result. Gearing too plays a big role. Each brand has its pros and cons.
Cooling all the power can be a big issue too, especially air-cooled.
why did you just answer your own question?
no air cooled twins make power like inline fluid cooled engines..
There are a few air cooled v twins out there making over 150hp. Some baggers make over 300hp for that matter. Ive seen some make as much as 400hp. You can find them on youtube.

Sam Perez Who did yo7use for the tuner?
wow...stone brik wall so ouch......
What are you going to get next Sam?
I have not thought that far ahead. I am currently working on a masters degree so I have not had a chance to upload or ride. I may just sell my Harley soon to help with the cost of school. Still thinking about it but if I had a cash offer sweet enough, the bike will have a new owner.
Sam Perez Good luck with your schooling.

Thanks for making my brain cells die faster, Ralph.
Ticking
Valve train ticking is normal considering those mechanisms are only under an aluminum cover right at the top of the motor where you can hear them even better. It is common for Evolution motors to sound like a sewing machine. What you hear is the pushrods hitting against the inside of the pushrod tubes. This is quite common on EVO's with adjustable pushrods because they're fatter. Especially the front one because of the angle.
Just normal sound for evos. My sportster was the same.
It completely normal my 2005 Sportster 1200 custom with an Evo engine ticks all day.
Kinda muffled and soft. Ill keep my carbs.
Different strokes for different folks. With 100db at idle I didn't want to take out the baffles, not to mention that EFI bikes prefer a little back pressure.
No glove's...no good'...
Only if you fall....I feel they mess with my dexterity...Then again so would falling.
