When you crank down the headers, it squashes the exhaust gasket. The new header might be slightly different too. Just a good idea to replace so they can create a good seal
Interesting, no mention of how difficult it is the remove the stock lower exhaust flange nut on the front cylinder and how to gain access to it, best tool to use and how to achieve it (I couldn't get a swivel socket to go in my 2018 LR). Also, what about disconnecting the negative from the battery terminal [as per the Service Manual], this will avoid any error code resulting from removing the O2 sensors.
nevillegreg1 I had no issues getting to any of the flange bolts. Much easier than my buddies fat boy honestly. I used a swivel only for the front bolt and they were all easy. And yeah I could/should have disconnected the battery terminal but I didn’t feel like it was truly necessary since it was so minor. And if there was a code my power vision would have showed me what it was and I could have cleared it anyway.
Great video on the exhaust installation I used it on my new 2021 low rider S I tried to watch over my shoulder had to going back and your voice would make this a billion times better, mention socket size torque values like you are talking to a buddy in the garage. Listen to the fast loud non stop upbeat music after you are done. This will work for you. Regards, James.
Appreciate the feedback. My videos have changed a lot since then in regards to how I film and edit my install videos. I encourage you to watch some of my more recent ones. I do try to not ha e a ton of silence and stuff though
Thanks man!! On this frame there are two sets of passenger peg holes. The bikes that come with the pegs on from factory are positioned in the bottom hole. The top hole has little plastic inserts to hide the holes unless you have to use them. So for this exhaust, and most after market exhausts that cover the default position, you just use the top. Hope this answered your question!
I LOVE the sound of that pipe. The only thing holding me back.....my OCD. I wish the muffler was a little more parallel to the ground, that little angle up glues my eyes to it. UGH! I see we also decided to kiss our warranty goodbye? :D Side note, what's the song near the end "Get ready for London?" Can't find that anywhere. Quite catchy!
All the songs in my videos come with my editing software to use for TH-cam and such. I don’t know the name off hand or where you’d be able to get it. An app like SoundHound may be able to tell you what it is though? It could be slightly off but it looks parallel to me in person on the bike. Pictures of it leaning over just make it look like more slanted up I believe. And yeah. I don’t buy a vehicle with the intent on keeping it stock and utilizing the warranty. I don’t believe in using sub par parts just to keep a warranty valid that will expire in a short time anyway. In most instances I’ve seen, people don’t need the warranty until it expires. Very rare on a bike well maintained that you’ll have to use the warranty in the first few years
@@RidinDad appreciate the fast response bro. One reason I love your channel! Now that you mention it, I've been checking Google images and I think you're right on the angle. Off the stand it does look ok. I've got the Barracuda Silver LRS and can't decide on black or stainless for the pipe. I really want to use an aftermarket tune, but it really freaks me out because I have ZERO mechanical ability and my luck I'd need the warranty somehow. Sucks.
I don’t wanna be responsible for anything lol but if I was a betting man I think you’d be fine. Fuel pack is the easiest tuner I think to use with limited skill and the power vision would be runner up. I like the stainless look on the silver ones. I’m doing a reviews for long term ownership of the pipe in the next 2 weeksish too!
I was told to use the screaming eagle tuner to keep my warranty. Do you think it’ll be as effective for a simple stage 1 tune as a Vance and Hines tuner? I know it’s a pain to do the screaming eagle but I’m mainly worried about performance.
My motto has always been not to worry about warranty. Warranty will be up before you would ever need to use it in my opinion. At least for stuff the tuner would void. Honestly stage 1 probably wouldn’t make too much of a difference since performance gains are mild anyway with a stage 1. Just remember the ol “buy once cry once”
I changed one put same pipes but never tuned it runs great though.. should I take it to harley and have never tune it..or wait till I get the next tune up Low Rider ST 24
I wouldn’t have Harley tune it at all. And if you you changed was exhaust you can wait if you plan on doing something else. If you arent gonna change anything for a while I would recommend a tune that way the bike runs as good as possible
Mark these are just the Harley oem ones. Picked them up at the local Harley. Vance and hines makes pretty much the same ones online too. Same price. Tbr guys recommended stock Harley replacements
just got the same exhaust ordered. Got all the old pipes off, but my 2 foot control bolts are star bit not allen/hex. Which ones do you have and do you know the size? Since mine are star bit, I attempted to use a T40 but it's a hair small and as you can imagine, I didn't find that out until it started to spin/strip. So I stopped right away. Those bolts are soft and in there super tight, so i'm concerned i won't get them off, therefore won't be able to use the spacers and new bolts, thus new TBR pipe won't fit. I was able to get the brake arm off and that made just enough room to get the old pipes out. Do you think it is necessary to get the right foot control off or do the spacers just make it easier and more room? Very good video, i watched this and one other one to decide on exhaust and to watch the install. Just ran into this hiccup...
Ben Spurgeon thank you man I appreciate it! As far as the bolts. I’m not sure what bike you have but I would be willing to bet they are a torx 45 size. Depending on what bike you have you’ll have to remove the bolts you can it the pavers on there. If your bike doesn’t need spacers for your foot controls and you can squeeze the new pipe on there than you should be fine. But either way it would be easier for you if those controls are off. Hope that helps man!
I have the 2020 low rider S same as you but seems I’m the only one that had it come with star bits. I bought a T45 and had to apply serious pressure and even hammer in slightly but finally broke them loose and got them out. Glad to have the TBR new bolts and spacers to make it easier next time if I have to remove.
Yo what's up man! Great video! I'm actually going to get this after my saddlemen seat lol so in a few weeks. Just wondering did you have to torque any bolts to spec?? Didn't see you doing it and im going to use your video when doing my exhaust.
Hey thank you!! I’m sure there are torque specs for just about any bolt. I’ve done a decent amount of work on bikes and I rarely use torque specs. That being said it’s your call lol. There’s been a few times years ago I actually used the manufacture specs for some thing and the bolts broke before they ever got to it. Multiple different spots and brand new bolts. So for me, unless it’s real serious internal engine stuff I don’t pay attention to torque specs. Good luck man!!
@@RidinDad Hey man! I ended up getting my exhaust today. Went with TBR black 2-1 shorty turnout lol. QUESTION: Did you locktite the bolts that go into the engine?
Awesome man! And are you referring to the header bolts? If so that’s a hard no for me lol. They will have pressure back on them when tightened properly. Also after a few hundred miles you should tighten them again. Because the gaskets will deflate a little over time and the header will seat
Hey man I have a 2020 fatbob and I want to install an aftermarket Bassani exhaust. You know any details on the warranty through Harley or just don’t care? I’m willing to use the Harley tuner and intake but the pipes gotta go.
I could be wrong but heres my understanding.....installing any aftermarket part NOT HD will void your powertrain warranty. I also understand HD parts installed at home in DIY fashion will not completely void your warranty but give dealerships leeway as far as warranty work and your bike will not be guaranteed coverage if that makes sense. Someone more knowledgeable than me might say otherwise but thats how I understand it. It's ultimately up to you but heres my opinion....if you don't purchase a huge extended warranty, just do what makes your happy. I personally do not like the HD tuner, most air cleaners, or any pipes/slip ons they have. I don't think any warranty work would need to be done prior to expiration anyway truthfully. Let me know what you're thinkin man!
Thanks man! I know bassani has good performance but I absolutely cannot stand the way it looks. I think its incredibly ugly lol. There are very few pipes I like the look of and this TBR on this bike is definitely one. I think their polished stainless turnout looks incredible on a chrome styled bike too!
Thanks dude!! I haven't got numbers from a dyno yet so its purely from the seat of the pants for me....But...I think theres a small difference. Im currently doing autotune sessions so I'll see long term results soon. The throttle feels smoother and more responsive and I do think theres more low end torque now. Also seems even more effortless at highway speeds
@@RidinDad thanks for your answer. I ve got the same bike with the same exhaust system but I didn't do any tune...I will do it soon I think but I would like to know if it really worth it...Ride safe ✌ Max from France
Aloha Fam!! What made you choose these pipes over Bassani or anything else you were looking at before pulling the trigger on TBRs. Or did you already know these where gonna be the ones. I’m torn between TBR shorty turnouts and Bassani road rage blacks for my 2020 Fatboy!! Bike looks and sounds amazing bro. 🤙🏾🔥
Thank you man! So I never liked the way the bassani looked at all so they were never an option for me. I’ve also heard some negative e things about them. The tbr sounds good, is relatively cheap, and I liked the look. I also like tbr as a brand and have had their exhaust on another bike years ago. There are better pipes as far as performance goes I believe but they’re about double the money which is why I ultimately went with the tbr. And I chose the comp s style due to sound. It’s slightly more quite than the others but has a deeper tone which I like. Hope that helps man!
Yes!!! This definitely helps. I do like the sound of comp a but the turnouts looks good too. Glad you sis the review about the pipes changing color. Definitely helps. The 30th anniversary Fatboy has that bronze color theme going so it might actually look pretty damn good. Appreciate you bro. This really helps. Keep the vids coming man. I’ve got tons of video content on all kinds of random stuff but editing is a headache so far. Lol. Rookie status but I’m sure I’ll get it by summer when it’s actually a decent time to ride here in oregon. 🤷🏽♂️🙄 Mahalo fam and stay safe. 🤙🏾
Awesome man, keep working at it! It definitely gets easier when you get into the swing of things. And my buddy has a video he did for his review on the turn out. Lots of sound clips and stuff if you want to check it out I’ll link it. th-cam.com/video/FiMErwwYTlQ/w-d-xo.html
They're from Flo Motorsports. I have a video on both the pegs and the arms. Here they are: th-cam.com/video/XpPzsjtLYt8/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ANJSFqSooNU/w-d-xo.html
Great videos! , I have been following the progress on your Low Rider S and learning a lot on how to do my own upgrades. I recently purchased a 2021 Low Rider S with less than 3k miles and installed today the same TBR Comp S exhaust as the video, my problem is that my bike comes with 4 OS sensors instead of 2 like yours; wonder if it is because of the newer model or because the bikes sold in Mexico have different specs. Also installed the DynoJet PV4 and update the firmware but the app shows only one file to flash for (Full exhaust / High Flow intake); I noticed your app even shows TBR 2-1 exhaust in the flash file description. Have you ever heard of a problem like this? Any suggestions? Thanks a lot and all the best. Mel Angel
Yeah I have a ton more videos. This one is super old for my build. The power visions need to have extra files downloaded from the dynojet website. You pick which ones for your setup then download them to the unit. Then flash the bike. I’ve never heard of 4 o2 sensors before. That is super weird man :/
Thanks man! I don’t remember what I had on the bike at the time of this video but I have an upgrades video with some 6 inch risers with some pullback and the stock bars. I’ve recently put a new set of risers on from biltwell. 8 inches high with 1.5 inches pullback. I’ll be doing another video on my most recent bike setup within a few weeks too!
I had a black thunderheader on my old Dyna. They sound amazing. The quality is terrible on the black finish though. And in my opinion they’re sorta ugly lol
It’s been so long man....I have no clue. The best I can tell you is that it was an sae like pretty much everything on the bike. Sorry I couldn’t help you anymore than that!
I bought them from my local Harley. But these are the same price and essentially the same thing: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/vance-hines-exhaust-port-gaskets-for-harley-1984-2018
Ridin Dad thanks a lot man I was looking at those but I wasn’t sure if those were as good as the ones you had because they look like 2 different designs
I has a question I bought harley moto bars and then bought the biltwell Murdock 8 inch with pullback risers and I don't think they will work if I turn the bars up where the should line the holes up they are way down and I was wanting to know what bars and risers you have or if I should just get different bars I noticed you had pullback and moto bars
Hey. Great timing lol. I just bought those same risers this morning! The bars I have currently are stock. And the risers are the 6.5 drag specialties with pull back. They’re singular risers so there’s the wide open gap in the middle. I don’t know how this bar will do with the murdoc risers so I’ll keep you posted with a video soon!!
Lol yea the bars that I bought I'm pretty sure are the ones that come on your bike I got the 2020 standard and I have bad hands and at 5'9 I hate the mini apes . My hands fall asleep after fast a mile or 2 . So I was hoping this set up would help a good bit plus I dig the look . Anyway I hope you don't run into the same problem I think I'm going to have brother
Lol keep me updated I think I'm going to try mine next weekend ordered the relocation piece for the top clamp guage as well and hd riser bushings waiting on all that
I’ve used several different exhausts since this one. After trying several I still like the tbr. I have many videos in this bikes playlist devoted to new exhausts if you wanna take a look
@@RidinDad thanks so much for the reply. Picking up my first Harley next weekend and very unsure of what exhaust to go with. Always been a Tbr fan and coming from the sport bike world.
It’s just a Harley exhaust gasket. For this exhaust you need tapered. Any brand is the same. They only make tapered or flat. Get tapered for this setup
Random question...with everything all installed does the heat shield for the front header come into contact with the motor or the control arm? Looks like yours touches the controls but hard to tell...asking cuz mine does 😩
I just installed a set yesterday and was going to ask the same question. The front heat shield hits the foot control arm on mine. I reached out to 2bros to see if what they say.
Texastacticool I believe it’s up to the dealer. I’ve seen people do it themselves and the dealer honors the warranty. However once you put a non Harley tuner on the bike it 100% voids it
@@RidinDad yeah bro so my Harley people told me just put the pipes on my self and run it with jo tune or changing the intake and once something happens just put your regular exhaust back on and bring it in and they won’t red flag it and should be good and swap Bsck again
Yeah that’s true. If there’s no tuner they won’t know. BUT it’ll be a pain to swap out exhausts just to go back to the dealer on the rare chance you even need to. Plus no tuner means you’re leaving a lot of performance on the table
MarvelKid87 i was going to tell you to go watch this video haha!!! It looks tiny on the bike don’t you think? Its too short!!! EL DIABLO is the one for you😂 have a good day hermano
I think in pictures it looks short. Because that was my initial feeling too. But in person it looks better in my opinion. I felt ok about this exhaust in pictures and once I saw it in person I fell in love
Any tuner will work but not all are created equal. Fp3, screamin eagle do not offer as much adjustability as the power vision series. A canned map will work fine but is not ideal. I would say find a shop you trust and pay them for the one time license fee and have them professionally tune it. Worth every penny
exhaust looks bitchin. I called Harley and they explained to me I HAVE to use the SE pro street tuner otherwise my warranty would become void. I would specifically want this tuner, but I may have to wait for 2 years before I do anything to maintain my warranty. Thoughts?
Thank you! 👊🏻 my personal thoughts on warranties is that I don’t care. I truly feel if there is a product that you want that is going to void your warranty then just get what you want. If some thing you were going to put on the bike let you keep the factory warranty then that’s a bonus but I never make any purchases around it. Especially when the parts that allow the warranty to stay intact are sub par and not as good as the other ones available. In the end it’s completely up to you, you have to do what you can live with. To me I really don’t feel like I will ever use the warranty in anything I ever buy. When things start to go south for me it’s always well past the warranty expiration. I was actually just talking to someone the other day that was complaining when they had the screaming eagle tuner that they could not really get a good tune for a new set of cams as well as they could have with another tuner.
@@RidinDad yes they are. I ran the parts department at a Harley Davidson dealership for 19 years and have seen it all. Keeping up with the Joneses. Like watching a bunch of kids dressed up for Halloween. I'm not synical, just observant.
@@RidinDad they keep blowing smoke, but I think I discovered the reason. They're having an issue with the black sets scratching easily. I think 2 Bros is or hopefully has found another coater. I'm willing to wait.
Yeah, after having a few black set ups, I will never be buying those again, no matter what coding you get for what manufacturer they scratch super easy. Stainless is so much easier and looks good in my opinion too
Everyone gonna have similar looking 2020 low rider s. They only have 2 color options, and the black exhaust goes with it. Pretty sure alot more people out there have that same exhaust!
@@RidinDad I have a 2016 Dyna, and a 2018 883. Gonna be trading in my 883 for this bike for a 2020 low rider. Looking for sound comparison, but I do like the tbr the most, and I will be getting black as well, so I guess it looks familiar to yours now.
My bad bro, didn't mean to come off as a dick. Im far from perfect. I can't even be around people when their eating. The sound of someone chewing, taking a drink, and even breathing makes me wanna snap and kill. Lol yeah i just came across your ch and this was the first vid. Newer ones are a lot less but im sure im the only one who even notices shit like that. Def diggin the ch, esp now that im getting a new fxlrs in a month or two.
@@RidinDad Oh, I know what he means. He means he is an insecure troll who drives a minivan and pees down his leg anytime an alpha male is present and looks him in the eye. Probably also rides a moped around his neighborhood, wearing a backwards visor, and asks his wife if he can have permission to try to grow some facial hair. In other words, he doesn't like your loud exhaust (or anyone else's loud exhaust) because it intimidates him to see another man, acting like a man.
I only had it for about a year if not a little more before I changed setups. The finish held up fine as far as ceramic exhaust finishes go. But the black turned a little tiny of purple. It’s pretty common for every pipe to do this
You are a true riding dad pro - replacing full exhaust system in crocks.
They’re the every occasion shoe!! Lol
Nice install and solid choice. TBR makes a great product for your bike.
Thanks! And they're fairly cheap when you look at other options like HPI & Fab28 etc. Less Dollars always makes the purchase easier lol
I’m all for the black exhaust.. some would prefer chrome with that same exact bike but the black is where it’s at.
I think chrome would be gross on all black. Stainless or black for me
The downside of black is the it turns brown
@@ydiaz8080 that’s what paint is for, it’s a small, basic simple project of which most are capable of.
For me and my tune it’s not really brown at least yet after about 2k miles. It’s a slightly different shade of black almost a purple hue to it
Definitely digging the new exhaust! Build is coming along nicely!
Jon's Moto Garage thanks dude! I’m pretty happy with it so far. Big plans for 2020!
I love the carbon fiber tip, I’m riding an Iron 883 but the low rider S is my next bike for sure!!! This is my favorite exhaust 🤩!!!
Awesome!! I think the low rider s will be a nice upgrade for you man!
Why remove the existing port gaskets to replace with new?
When you crank down the headers, it squashes the exhaust gasket. The new header might be slightly different too. Just a good idea to replace so they can create a good seal

I'm loving it! The install went smooth. Just need the new exhaust gaskets to stop stinking lol
Lol yeah that’s the only con. That and finding a place to store your old crap exhaust since no one will ever buy it lol
No doubt man. I'm considering taking it to the metal recyclers 🤔
If you let me know how much they give you for it !!
Looks great but how would one put passenger pegs on with this exhaust. Or really any aftermarket exhaust? Most of them seem to block the peg hole?
Thanks man!! On this frame there are two sets of passenger peg holes. The bikes that come with the pegs on from factory are positioned in the bottom hole. The top hole has little plastic inserts to hide the holes unless you have to use them. So for this exhaust, and most after market exhausts that cover the default position, you just use the top.

Ridin Dad that’s what I was thinking too. What are the odds you’d need any real “power train” work in 2-4 years anyway. Okay thanks
Yeah same train of thought man!
Excellent job on this video!! How tall are you? I'm a bit over 5 10. Just wondering how the mids suite you? Thanks
Thanks man! I'm about 5 8. I love the mids. Honestly for me rear sets are the most comfortable, so the farther back the better
The shorter TBR pipe looks a lot better than the usual Bassani that people play out on this bike, Nice 👍🇺🇸
I have an FXDR that’s a Keeper🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks man! I know bassani has good performance but I absolutely cannot stand the way it looks. I think its incredibly ugly lol. There are very few pipes I like the look of and this TBR on this bike is definitely one. I think their polished stainless turnout looks incredible on a chrome styled bike too!
Hi bro! Beautiful bike 🤩
How does it work with the power vision tune? Is there a big difference ?
Thanks dude!! I haven't got numbers from a dyno yet so its purely from the seat of the pants for me....But...I think theres a small difference. Im currently doing autotune sessions so I'll see long term results soon. The throttle feels smoother and more responsive and I do think theres more low end torque now. Also seems even more effortless at highway speeds
@@RidinDad thanks for your answer. I ve got the same bike with the same exhaust system but I didn't do any tune...I will do it soon I think but I would like to know if it really worth it...Ride safe ✌
Max from France
Massimo Guaglio I think it is. Even if the numbers don’t show any improvement your bike should run better. Healthier.
Aloha Fam!! What made you choose these pipes over Bassani or anything else you were looking at before pulling the trigger on TBRs. Or did you already know these where gonna be the ones. I’m torn between TBR shorty turnouts and Bassani road rage blacks for my 2020 Fatboy!! Bike looks and sounds amazing bro. 🤙🏾🔥
Thank you man! So I never liked the way the bassani looked at all so they were never an option for me. I’ve also heard some negative e things about them. The tbr sounds good, is relatively cheap, and I liked the look. I also like tbr as a brand and have had their exhaust on another bike years ago. There are better pipes as far as performance goes I believe but they’re about double the money which is why I ultimately went with the tbr. And I chose the comp s style due to sound. It’s slightly more quite than the others but has a deeper tone which I like. Hope that helps man!
Yes!!! This definitely helps. I do like the sound of comp a but the turnouts looks good too. Glad you sis the review about the pipes changing color. Definitely helps. The 30th anniversary Fatboy has that bronze color theme going so it might actually look pretty damn good. Appreciate you bro. This really helps. Keep the vids coming man. I’ve got tons of video content on all kinds of random stuff but editing is a headache so far. Lol. Rookie status but I’m sure I’ll get it by summer when it’s actually a decent time to ride here in oregon. 🤷🏽♂️🙄 Mahalo fam and stay safe. 🤙🏾
Awesome man, keep working at it! It definitely gets easier when you get into the swing of things. And my buddy has a video he did for his review on the turn out. Lots of sound clips and stuff if you want to check it out I’ll link it. th-cam.com/video/FiMErwwYTlQ/w-d-xo.html
You got a view for the FXLRS. A sub for the intro.
Knoogoodz kngd hell year haha! Thanks man!!
Got my pipes. Wonder if the stock heat shields will fit...
The stock tbr shields? Yeah they fit fine why
@@RidinDad Sorry, I meant factory Harley Davidson heat shields on 2br. pipe.
I like the holes on the factory ones.
Oh well I would assume they won’t
What is the name of your pegs and foot controls?
They're from Flo Motorsports. I have a video on both the pegs and the arms. Here they are:

Great videos! , I have been following the progress on your Low Rider S and learning a lot on how to do my own upgrades. I recently purchased a 2021 Low Rider S with less than 3k miles and installed today the same TBR Comp S exhaust as the video, my problem is that my bike comes with 4 OS sensors instead of 2 like yours; wonder if it is because of the newer model or because the bikes sold in Mexico have different specs. Also installed the DynoJet PV4 and update the firmware but the app shows only one file to flash for (Full exhaust / High Flow intake); I noticed your app even shows TBR 2-1 exhaust in the flash file description. Have you ever heard of a problem like this? Any suggestions? Thanks a lot and all the best. Mel Angel
Yeah I have a ton more videos. This one is super old for my build. The power visions need to have extra files downloaded from the dynojet website. You pick which ones for your setup then download them to the unit. Then flash the bike. I’ve never heard of 4 o2 sensors before. That is super weird man :/
What size risers do you have on there? Nice bike!!!
Thanks man! I don’t remember what I had on the bike at the time of this video but I have an upgrades video with some 6 inch risers with some pullback and the stock bars. I’ve recently put a new set of risers on from biltwell. 8 inches high with 1.5 inches pullback. I’ll be doing another video on my most recent bike setup within a few weeks too!
@@RidinDad any of your videos showing the 8 inch with stock fairing?
Nope. I took the fairing off. I’m going naked from now on lol
I like those pipes. But I really like the thunderheaders!
I had a black thunderheader on my old Dyna. They sound amazing. The quality is terrible on the black finish though. And in my opinion they’re sorta ugly lol
Yeah. I guess it depends on the bike they’re on. Some look sweet. And some look like crap. But the performance is hands down the best. In my opinion.
Does it still spit fire after the tune or did that go away? Just installed mine today and it’s spitting fire 🫣
Mine never did that so idk…… lol shouldn’t do it with a proper tune so I would imagine it’ll go away
Hey Ridin Dad what size Allen key did you use to remove the stock exhaust mount
It’s been so long man....I have no clue. The best I can tell you is that it was an sae like pretty much everything on the bike. Sorry I couldn’t help you anymore than that!
Can you link me to where you ordered the new exhaust gaskets
I bought them from my local Harley. But these are the same price and essentially the same thing: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/vance-hines-exhaust-port-gaskets-for-harley-1984-2018
Ridin Dad thanks a lot man I was looking at those but I wasn’t sure if those were as good as the ones you had because they look like 2 different designs
No problem!! Good luck!
@@SuperLalalada did the Vance and Hines work out for you? Or did you go with Harley gaskets? I noticed they don’t appear to be the same size as well
I has a question I bought harley moto bars and then bought the biltwell Murdock 8 inch with pullback risers and I don't think they will work if I turn the bars up where the should line the holes up they are way down and I was wanting to know what bars and risers you have or if I should just get different bars I noticed you had pullback and moto bars
Hey. Great timing lol. I just bought those same risers this morning! The bars I have currently are stock. And the risers are the 6.5 drag specialties with pull back. They’re singular risers so there’s the wide open gap in the middle. I don’t know how this bar will do with the murdoc risers so I’ll keep you posted with a video soon!!
You could always just drill another hole in the bars if you wanted too. Way easier than drilling anything with the thick risers
Lol yea the bars that I bought I'm pretty sure are the ones that come on your bike I got the 2020 standard and I have bad hands and at 5'9 I hate the mini apes . My hands fall asleep after fast a mile or 2 . So I was hoping this set up would help a good bit plus I dig the look . Anyway I hope you don't run into the same problem I think I'm going to have brother
I hope so too! Looking at the hole it seems like it’ll match up but we will see man!!
Lol keep me updated I think I'm going to try mine next weekend ordered the relocation piece for the top clamp guage as well and hd riser bushings waiting on all that
Still using this same exhaust? Or if you changed, which one did you go with? Thank you.
I’ve used several different exhausts since this one. After trying several I still like the tbr. I have many videos in this bikes playlist devoted to new exhausts if you wanna take a look
@@RidinDad thanks so much for the reply. Picking up my first Harley next weekend and very unsure of what exhaust to go with. Always been a Tbr fan and coming from the sport bike world.
@andygood4127 same reason I picked them too! The finish quality is not the best but they perform good and sound good!
Awesome video man! Where did you get the new gaskets?
Thanks! The specific ones I got from Harley but you can get them at any motorcycle shop or online at any of the typical motorcycle websites
Any chance you could send me a link for the correct gasket? Thank you so much
It’s just a Harley exhaust gasket. For this exhaust you need tapered. Any brand is the same. They only make tapered or flat. Get tapered for this setup
Awesome thank you so much!
No problem! 👊🏻
I assume that you removed the old exhaust bracket?
Yes.
Random question...with everything all installed does the heat shield for the front header come into contact with the motor or the control arm? Looks like yours touches the controls but hard to tell...asking cuz mine does 😩
Nope mine doesn’t touch anything. Did you use the supplied spacers for the foot controls?
I just installed a set yesterday and was going to ask the same question. The front heat shield hits the foot control arm on mine. I reached out to 2bros to see if what they say.
You can adjust it mostly out. My heat shield barely touched even with the supplied spacers but when I got my front crash bar it completely moved away
Mine also touches, and also comes veeeeeeery close to engine case. Sounds good but hate that it touches.
Doing it yourself voids you’re warranty or no ?
Texastacticool I believe it’s up to the dealer. I’ve seen people do it themselves and the dealer honors the warranty. However once you put a non Harley tuner on the bike it 100% voids it
@@RidinDad yeah bro so my Harley people told me just put the pipes on my self and run it with jo tune or changing the intake and once something happens just put your regular exhaust back on and bring it in and they won’t red flag it and should be good and swap Bsck again
Yeah that’s true. If there’s no tuner they won’t know. BUT it’ll be a pain to swap out exhausts just to go back to the dealer on the rare chance you even need to. Plus no tuner means you’re leaving a lot of performance on the table
At what mileage did you install the exhaust?
Somewhere around 8-900 I believe. It was definitely before my 1k service
Great video bro 👌🏽
MarvelKid87 i was going to tell you to go watch this video haha!!! It looks tiny on the bike don’t you think? Its too short!!! EL DIABLO is the one for you😂 have a good day hermano
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
I think in pictures it looks short. Because that was my initial feeling too. But in person it looks better in my opinion. I felt ok about this exhaust in pictures and once I saw it in person I fell in love
Ridin Dad i feel you!!! All motorcycles are way sexier in person!!! Nice bikee be safe out there🤘
@@alex5761 Thanks dude. you too!
Loved your video man. Question do I have to tune it right away?.
Thanks man. And if you’re just changing the exhaust, no you don’t have to tune it right away
@@RidinDad thank you. Last question any tuner will work cus i know the one you have is pretty pricy or is it worth getting?
Any tuner will work but not all are created equal. Fp3, screamin eagle do not offer as much adjustability as the power vision series. A canned map will work fine but is not ideal. I would say find a shop you trust and pay them for the one time license fee and have them professionally tune it. Worth every penny
And that way you don’t even have to spend money on a physical tuning device if you don’t want to
@@RidinDad oh that is awesome thank you for that advice. That will help me out alot. Thank you..
Did you have to use a tuner?
You don’t “have” to use a tuner for just an exhaust on the m8’s. It’s highly recommended though
Thanks for the video and for the funky beats
LOL my pleasure 🤙🏼
Looks sick.
Thanks! 👊🏻
Do you remember if you had a hard time installing the
new gaskets? ... 🤔 Just did it...It was’nt easy on my side.
Yeah, they’re a tight fit and hard to squeeze in there without deformation. That’s a good thing though!
I can’t use my stock gaskets ??
No no no. Never reuse exhaust gaskets. Even if you’re just taking the exhaust off and putting it right back on
exhaust looks bitchin. I called Harley and they explained to me I HAVE to use the SE pro street tuner otherwise my warranty would become void. I would specifically want this tuner, but I may have to wait for 2 years before I do anything to maintain my warranty. Thoughts?
Thank you! 👊🏻 my personal thoughts on warranties is that I don’t care. I truly feel if there is a product that you want that is going to void your warranty then just get what you want. If some thing you were going to put on the bike let you keep the factory warranty then that’s a bonus but I never make any purchases around it. Especially when the parts that allow the warranty to stay intact are sub par and not as good as the other ones available. In the end it’s completely up to you, you have to do what you can live with. To me I really don’t feel like I will ever use the warranty in anything I ever buy. When things start to go south for me it’s always well past the warranty expiration. I was actually just talking to someone the other day that was complaining when they had the screaming eagle tuner that they could not really get a good tune for a new set of cams as well as they could have with another tuner.
Lotta sport bike guys are playing the name game. " My pipes are more exotic than yours, more expensive too."
Yupp. Harley guys are doing it more and more now too lol
@@RidinDad yes they are. I ran the parts department at a Harley Davidson dealership for 19 years and have seen it all. Keeping up with the Joneses. Like watching a bunch of kids dressed up for Halloween. I'm not synical, just observant.
Been waiting on mine since October.
:( that’s a long time dude :(
@@RidinDad they keep blowing smoke, but I think I discovered the reason. They're having an issue with the black sets scratching easily. I think 2 Bros is or hopefully has found another coater. I'm willing to wait.
Yeah, after having a few black set ups, I will never be buying those again, no matter what coding you get for what manufacturer they scratch super easy. Stainless is so much easier and looks good in my opinion too
@@RidinDad If 2 Bros keeps failing, I'll switch to S&S.
There’s tons of good ones out now man. Stealth, hpi, Fab28, jackpot riot, so concepts, thrashin, tons!
@marvelkid87 looks familiar 👀
I love his bike! We have very similar builds. On record, I installed my TBR first haha
Everyone gonna have similar looking 2020 low rider s. They only have 2 color options, and the black exhaust goes with it. Pretty sure alot more people out there have that same exhaust!
The main reason I was so hesitant on getting the tbr lol.
@@RidinDad I have a 2016 Dyna, and a 2018 883. Gonna be trading in my 883 for this bike for a 2020 low rider. Looking for sound comparison, but I do like the tbr the most, and I will be getting black as well, so I guess it looks familiar to yours now.
The dude must really love marvelkid 😂
You literally skipped the most important part, how you reached the front exhaust stud nut with the oil cooler being in the way.
Did not skip it at all. Use swivel sockets. Pretty easy. And the extension I used. In the video
👌🖤🏍💨🔥💥
BreakoutPete 👊🏻
Informative vid but all that lip smacking was almost a deal breaker for me. Almost at a few Xanax
Ate*
Ya know we arent all perfect. It’s a tendency that I have that I try to limit.
Also this video is very old of mine. I think you’ll find my more recent videos a little bit better
My bad bro, didn't mean to come off as a dick. Im far from perfect. I can't even be around people when their eating. The sound of someone chewing, taking a drink, and even breathing makes me wanna snap and kill. Lol yeah i just came across your ch and this was the first vid. Newer ones are a lot less but im sure im the only one who even notices shit like that. Def diggin the ch, esp now that im getting a new fxlrs in a month or two.
Awesome man. And It’s alright lol. Glad to have you aboard the channel and enjoy the new bike when you get it!
Better to remain silent and have people suspect you are a loser than to ride around with a loud exhaust removing all doubt.
Not quit sure what you mean?
@@RidinDad Oh, I know what he means. He means he is an insecure troll who drives a minivan and pees down his leg anytime an alpha male is present and looks him in the eye.
Probably also rides a moped around his neighborhood, wearing a backwards visor, and asks his wife if he can have permission to try to grow some facial hair.
In other words, he doesn't like your loud exhaust (or anyone else's loud exhaust) because it intimidates him to see another man, acting like a man.
Thomas Smith 😂 thank you for the explanation. Definitely clears things up lol.
@@thomass789 Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
@@tommy-jy5ig I thoroughly enjoy your incorrect placement of commas while trying to sound poetic.
Does the black hold up or is it real dull looking after time
I only had it for about a year if not a little more before I changed setups. The finish held up fine as far as ceramic exhaust finishes go. But the black turned a little tiny of purple. It’s pretty common for every pipe to do this
