Just installed a a Cobra PowerPro Black on my 06 Springer Softail Injected, paired with a Cobra air cleaner and Sifton breather system, what a difference it makes Man!
this channel really makes me wanna squeeze out the performance juice from a 96 cubic inch Twin Cam. a Harley Crossbones sleeper build is my dream city bike.
That sounds like an awesome build! The Twin Cam has so much potential for performance upgrades, and a sleeper setup on a Crossbones would be a unique twist. Glad you like the video. Thank you for commenting! 😎 MB
I watched your video about removing the cats on an M8 and not needing a tune. I purchased a 2-1-2 catless header that still uses my factory mufflers. The header came with 12mm and 18mm O2 bungs. The motor indeed runs fine and actually feels like it’s running better. I have a 114 and I actually can run away from my buddies 117 now. Previously I could not run away from him. 4,000 rpm engine braking….. no pops from lean deceleration. I was skeptical and I’m now a solid fan.✌🏼
@@DKCustomProducts thanks for the reply, also the most important part of my quest was how hot the catalytic converter was. The bike is so much more comfortable to ride now. No change in fuel economy that I can really tell. I purchased a thundermax tuner for a later time where I plan for an air cleaner and cam. Going to Sturgis this year and I don’t want to risk reliability this soon before I plan to ride 1,300 miles one way. 🤓✌🏼
Yes, that cat gets very hot and can be extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately on the Gen I M8's removing it does not necessitate a different tune, nor does it have a perceptible impact on how the bike runs. Good choice on holding off on the Thundermax. KP
Great video 😉👍 I’ve done most of those mods on my 12 Softail with parts I purchased from DK. Great quality and they work as intended. Tomorrow I will install the Jagg oil cooler that you guys had delivered today.
Awesome! Glad you are enjoying the benefits of having them installed! I know your bike will be happy cooling down that oil!!!!! Thank you for your business and for commenting! MB
The only items that you've mentioned that help with engine cooling while at its hottest are the oil cooler and fan. While you're sitting at a red light while in 100-degree heat, none of the other mods do a single bit of good
It is reasonable to reach that conclusion. However, there are few facts that are a bit counterintuitive, or not readily apparent: 1. Engines run hotter at highway speed than in stop-n-go traffic, or just sitting at a red light. We have many videos documenting that, here is a link to just one of them- th-cam.com/video/qMVwT0nunfU/w-d-xo.html 2. The cooler the engine is when riding it, the cooler it will be at a red light. 3. Cooling the oil, while important, has a very small effect on cooling the engine. 4. The Source of the heat is the engine, the oil just absorbs a little bit of the heat generated. 5. Cooling the engine down will cool the oil down 6. These are air cooled engines, except for the Twin Cooled models, and those only use coolant or oil to cool the exhaust valves, no other part of the engine. Here is a Link to a report that shows how much each different component cools down the engine. www.dkcustomproducts.com/why-how-to-cool-down-your-twin-cam-engine-part-ii-dk-cl-tc-dn-2.htm FOR EXAMPLE: Just a Tank Lift/CDW combo will cool the engine 18-25 F. No oil cooler will cool the engine down that much. I believe you will find the link above very interesting. Here is a link to a playlist of videos that talk about WHY & HOW to cool down a Twin Cam & M8 Engine. th-cam.com/play/PLb3bvZgbH92_3s-2vv63QggFJ3nteFd_C.html Thank you for the comment. 👍😎👍 KP
The fan however will do all that. And also increase the cooling while riding because now you get natural air flow and the fan. So the fan is by far the best option. Especially if you hate the way a tank lift looks.
The electric fan oil coolers are wired to a heat sensor and only kicks on when you're in stop and go traffic, not while running highway speeds. From what I understand, the jug fans work the same way. I've done most of the cooling mods , except the fans, and they definitely help cool the motor while on the move. My problem is how long the cooler runs after starting to move again.
Why is it a problem how long the oil cooler fan runs after starting to move again? I've had many oil coolers with fans and whether they are running when going down the road at 40 mph or 70 mph has never entered my mind as any king of issue. KP
I put the cooling deflector wings on my Ultra. Yes, they really work. Coupled with a Klock Werks or Freedom Shield wind screen, the turbulence behind the fairing is all but eliminated.
As a Harley V twin engine has got way bigger threw the years I went with a ultra limited with the water cooled head and just made it a street glide by doing all the quick release for tour pack etc. I have the best of both worlds and It cools the engine really well. I also removed the cat and I use Thundermax ecm I can manage it with my lap top to whatever I want.

Decades ago the after market auto industry and hot rodders were big on water injection into the intake to cool the combustion chambers; provide added density to the incoming charge of air, and some say, to get the additional power benefit from a "steam engine" effect.

We do make an M8 Softail Tank Lift. You would first need to check and make sure your tank ears are in a position that a tank lift can be installed. You can go to this link and look at the 3rd and 4th picture to see if your tank ears are compatible - www.dkcustomproducts.com/softail-milwaukee-eight-model-tank-lift-kit.htm You will also need to check for clearance. Checking for clearance not only allows you to insure fitment, it also allows you to see which size will look best on your bike. It is easy to check for clearance, Before ordering: 1. With bike on kickstand, take the bolt out of the front of your tank. 2. Loosen (do not remove) the bolt(s) at the rear of your tank. 3. Turn your handlebars all the way to the left and raise the tank up your desired tank lift size to check for clearance issues. 4. Turn your handlebars all the way to the right and raise the tank up your desired tank lift size to check for clearance issues. Be careful when lifting your tank, you do not want to hit against something (forks, handlebars, trees, blinkers, etc.) when checking for clearance.

The joy of living in a much cooler UK, having an oil cooled M8 with an Arlen Ness Velocity V9 and a 2bros shorty turnout, with a DK Customs head breather catch can venting both the crankcase pressure and head gases into it. Only downside is that shitty closed loop half of a Dynojet map during cruising, though does release the approx 7hp harley hid in the factory street bob map ; ) just need me a Darkhorse Crankworks cush comp to stop my fucker from exploding ha ha

Tank lifts are the ugliest thing anyone can do to destroy the esthetics or design goals of your bike… unless you time travel to 1976 and run a peanut on a chopper it’s a dumb suggestion.
Thank you for sharing your opinion! We understand that the tank lift look isn’t for everyone, and that's what makes customizing bikes so unique and personal. Many of our customers appreciate the tank lift for its practical benefits, such as improved air circulation and a cleaner front-end look.

Does an exhaust wrap lower engine temps?
No it doesn't but Wrapping your pipes will increase your performance, while reducing radiant heat by up to 50%.
Keeping exhaust gases hotter within the pipes increases exhaust scavenging, which reduces intake temperatures, resulting in increased horsepower and torque.

You should offer a class for ladies with these questions. My goodness what a woman.... This is exactly why it's not just about looks. This lady's intelligence on a scale of 1-10 make her a 12 , add that voice in and she's a 15. This is a valuable woman, ladies pay attention.
Methinks you might have meant to leave this comment on a different video??? 😂

My special needs or my special Ed was acting up.... I can't imagine why I would have written that.... I use the same "meds" for glaucoma, special needs and my special ed..... That's the polite version 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

I wrap my exhaust before I install the pipes.
Awesome! I am sure you enjoy the benefits of having it installed! Thanks for commenting. MB
Is there anybody doing water injection on Harleys ?
That is not something that we have looked into or done any research on! I am sorry that I can not be of much more help!
You can check the forums to see if there is anyone on there that has done any research or knows of anyone doing water injection.

@@DKCustomProductsI’m a big fan and I’ve purchased many of your excellent products for my Tri Glide.
We appreciate your business, support and you commenting on our TH-cam videos. I am glad that you get value form the videos and are seeing the benefits of having the parts installed. It means a lot! Thank you 👍 MB
I put a airfilter fan on my bike
Please explain, or post a link to what you are talking about.
Thank you, we are always interested in things that can improve our rides. KP
One mod that there's not much talk about is IGNITION COILS, I'm sure many of us will appreciate your views and recommendations in a video.
I will certainly pass this along to Devin and Kevin. We do have some videos on Coil Relos at this link - th-cam.com/play/PLb3bvZgbH9290XfE7OKQw1i4I4Jz_XFbV.html
What are some topics you would like covered if we make an Ignition Coil specific video? Thank you for the idea and for commenting! MB
@@DKCustomProducts, thanks. There's some confusion about the pros and cons of a higher output coil, also about the single fire and dual fire.
Tank lifts are the ugliest thing anyone can do to destroy the esthetics or design goals of your bike… unless you time travel to 1976 and run a peanut on a chopper it’s a dumb suggestion.
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
We understand that the tank lift look isn’t for everyone, and that's what makes customizing bikes so unique and personal. Many of our customers appreciate the tank lift for its practical benefits, such as improved air circulation and a cleaner front-end look. Whether you're going for a classic or modern look, it's all about what makes you happy with your ride. We appreciate your input and are always open to hearing different perspectives!
