It’s incredible that keeping the engine temperature in the correct range gains so much power. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for the comment, and glad you found the video useful. 👍😎👍
Yeah, it is crazy. Here is a video that you may find interesting...surprised us big time on the dyno.

Thank you for the comment, glad you are finding the videos useful/interesting. 👍😎👍
Nailed it!
Thank you for the comment. 👍😎👍
Thanks for your help
👍 Great to hear you are finding the videos useful/helpful. 👍
Following your video's and doing all the mods so far for my 2009 Triglide has definitely made my decision to keep it instead of buying a new one 👍
Thanks, glad you are finding the videos useful. We appreciate your business, and glad you are liking the parts.
Wishing you many miles of smiles on your Tri Glide. 👍😎👍
Someone's talking about a TRI glide finally. Check out my channel and give my 2009 ultra classic trike a look 👍🤘
You guys are very knowledgable.
🧠
Thanks, glad you are finding the videos useful/interesting. 👍😎👍
U guys give excellent hd advice 👏 👍
Thank you for the comment. Glad you are finding the videos useful. 👍
Well done.
Thank you! 👍😎👍
Good show. Make a plan, be sure you have the right tools, follow recommended torque values. My number 1 is I always disconnect the battery or pull the main fuse, I hate surprises and electrical fires
Hi Jack!
Great advice, thank you for the add to the video comments. 👍😎👍
EPA needs to ease up on recreational vehicles like motorcycle and boats
Yeah, but that is not the direction they are headed...CARB is leading the charge, and the EPA is following.
I used an FP3 for my 2010 Soperglide C. Was like a new bike, and so easy to do.
Yes, many folks like the FP3 (now superseded by the FP4). Having a good tune on the 2007 and later Twin Cams & Sportys makes a significant improvement. 👍😎👍
@@DKCustomProducts HUGE.
And cooler feeling on the ol' legs to. I got the side mount oil cooler from you and that helps as well.
@@Jimmy_Jim_Jim_1234 Yes, less radiated heat is a good thing. 👍
Thanks for the comments, and we appreciate your business! 👍
Thants for the info
Thanks for the comment, and good to hear you are finding the videos useful/interesting. 👍😎👍
For taller riders Tallboy floorboard relocation kit is a great comfort add on. They're kind of pricey but well worth it.
Yes, those are expensive. Most folks find that spending 1/4 the price and using the Relocation Kit at the following link will give them all the extra room they want. www.dkcustomproducts.com/footpeg-mounting-hardware-c117-329.htm
Thanks for the add. 👍😎👍
Wish HD offered Tall Boy options for more models. Whiplash Speed Co hooked me up though. Awesome seat.
Welp nice video of course, but my comfort triangle on my 21 bob 114, is a set of forward controls, along with a Saddleman profiler seat, and some breakout drag bars. But for the stock exhaust, I just ordered some of your 258 TTI's, which should be good enough until i decide on another exhaust.
Very nice! Sounds like you are well on your way to making it your own!
Thanks for your business, we appreciate it. I believe you are going to be well pleased with the 258's in performance increase, and hopefully the sound. 👍
Clean throttle body, clean air filter, change plugs,oils, tighten and adjust stuff,, rock and roll...
Thank you for your add. 👍
I enjoy your content, have ordered from you, planning to order my xmas present soon. Where are the girls from you thumbnails :)
Thank you, glad you are liking the videos!
We appreciate your business and hope you are enjoying the benefits of the parts you've gotten.
I dunno where Dwayne keeps those girls he puts in the videos! 😀
Handcuffed by the Harley warranty as well. I was told the EBS would void my warranty.
The only things the HD warranty current voids is using a tuner, towing a trailer, or doing a mod that causes one of their parts to break.
Look at how the FTC has cracked down on their illegal warranty practices in this video-
th-cam.com/video/M-QdwkZ3_RQ/w-d-xo.html
You can also do what so many of us do...ignore the HD warranty and get a real Warranty. Here is a video on them- th-cam.com/video/Hqkxag-S1a8/w-d-xo.html
Just got a power vision and Bassani RR3 for my M8. Been debating on the external breather. Is Trasks CheckM8 enough or should I vent the breather bolts as well.
Sounds like you're getting your M8 setup nicely. 👍
Only an External Breather System, like seen in the link below, completely eliminate all hot, oily, oxygen depleted air from going into the combustion chambers.
www.dkcustomproducts.com/breather-systems-c21.htm
Vented dipsticks and transmission cover vents do NOT take the place of the breathers.
There is still hot, oily, oxygen depleted air being fed into the intake.
The folks that sell vented dipsticks and trans cover vents, have it right in their product description that they do not prevent all that crap from going into your intake.
Here is a copy and paste from the Trask website- "This will reduce the oil exiting from the head breathers..."
IF you have an older M8, with the older oil pump and you are concerned about sumping...OR, IF you have a built engine with higher compression, then it may be beneficial to do an EBS And a vented dipstick or trans cover vent.
I'm interested in getting the Vance and Hines Short Shorts for my 2020 Low Rider S. I want a simple easy to install and easy to use tuner. What is your opinion on the Vance and Hines Fuelpak and which is better the FP3 or FP4 for the M8? I had an FP3 for a twin cam and it worked well but I've heard mixed reviews on the FP4. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You can email our customer service at Support@dkcustomproducts.com or call at 662-252-8828 and they will help you with all your questions and help you choose the right tuner for you! Thanks for commenting
Do I need a tuner for my 2021 tri-glide if I get a better intake?
You do not.
Here is a video you may find interesting/useful- th-cam.com/video/Lb_57Z_Ipms/w-d-xo.html&t
Here is a written report with some great info- www.dkcustomproducts.com/milwaukee-eight-dyno-charts-other-interesting-info-dk-m8-rpt.htm
Will it run a little better with a tune? Yes. However, it is not dangerously lean with the OEM tune. The link above shows the BIG improvement with an Outlaw Air Cleaner, and the relatively small improvement with a tune.
I hshe a 2021 m8 107. now that I have installed the 587 intake do I need to retune
You do not need a new tune for your 2021 M8. The M8's do run great from the factory, and still run great after upgrading to a free flowing exhaust and High Flow Air Cleaner. Getting an after market tune would maximize the performance, but is not necessary.
You can see a written report we've done at this link - www.dkcustomproducts.com/milwaukee-eight-dyno-charts-other-interesting-info-dk-m8-rpt.htm
You can see a video on the subject at this link - th-cam.com/video/Lb_57Z_Ipms/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for commenting! 👍😎👍 MB
What is your opinion on the Tab / Zombies? Would they sound good on a 22 Tri Glide Ultra?
If you have seen these TABs, they are just a solid metal pipe inside a chrome can. Essentially just a very expensive straight pipe. Probably OK with the stock head pipes and catalytic converter, but may be difficult to tune with open headers without the Thunder torque inserts.
Everyone's ear is different on what sounds good. Here is a video where we talk about how to choose the right exhaust for your bike the first time.

Stage 1 1st
Yep, gotta lay a great foundation to build upon. We have a video on that subject here- th-cam.com/video/GK5x3lcQvJU/w-d-xo.html
😎👍
Thanks! 👍😎👍
Loud pipes saves lives
They can definitely be an effective tool...plus, to many of us, they sound great!
😂 that's why I always point my pipes forward because that's where all the danger is
Do you think I should wait for the first 1k service and then add 2 to 1 exhaust to my 117 M8 or I can do it now it has 179 miles on it.
You can do it now but with a brand new bike, it is a good practice to accumulate a few hundred miles to see if any potential warranty work will be needed.
Issues often present themselves in the first few hundred miles.
My recommendation would be to get thru the first service before wrenching on the bike that way they can't blame any loose fasteners, potential issues, etc on the installation of new parts.
Thanks for commenting! 👍😎👍
Question regarding exhaust, can a header pipe be welded on the bike, I have a 15 road king with the Vance and hines power duals header, I found a crack on the back of the x pipe, thank you
Yes
Disconnect battery first and put welder ground on exhaust. That way there is no chance of cooking electrical system.
@@jimmyjohnson1452 by disconnecting the battery should keep it from frying anything, any other precautions I should take and thank you
@@Frenchy5117 Disconnect battery and ground welder to exhaust. That's it.
@@jimmyjohnson1452 thank you, ill keep you posted, love the videos
Hear me out, I'm not being confrontational or claiming to be a know it all. I'd remove the header, get a set of Screaming Eagle gaskets at any dealer for about $10.
Part # 17048-98.
Or as stated before, disconnect battery, ground thru header, but I'd also unplug the regulator, the ignition control module, and the TSM or TSSM, just to be safe. It doesn't cost anything but 15 minutes of your time.
Again, just my humble opinion.
I love these videos, but one question I had an intake on my 19 sportster but ran the tuna can from a 90s and I'm a year rounder, rain or shine, I just traded for an RG 107 im worried about rain getting into the aftermarket filter, how can I replace the box with something other than an elbow? Most rain socks I've seen were for the elbow
Glad you are liking the videos. 👍
We have many air cleaners for your M8 RG that do not need a rain sock, but are good hiflow performance air cleaners. You can see them at the following link. Also at that link are air cleaners that do use a rain sock, that are not forward facing (elbow). Always feel free to call or email us with any questions.

Rider triangle before exhaust always ;)
Yes, agreed. Everyone is different. Myself, on a touring model, I can't ride 30 minutes with the stock bars without my left shoulder starting to hurt. So that is one of the first things I do.
Upgrading the lights should be first . Better to be seen
Yes, to see and to be seen is very important. This video is only things to do before changing your exhaust!

You guys forgot the addition of a rear seat dressing like you feature in your thumbnail. However, if you get one of those, you won't have any cash left for bike parts.😁
I remember a time fellas rode just for that reason.... To pick up chix 🤘
😂
