I have a 2018 Forty Eight and I'm in the process of doing an S&S 1250 with forged S&S flat top pistons, Feuling HP+ lifters, Feuling Endurance valve springs, Hammer Performance pushrods, Buell bronze oil pump gear, Dynatek EFI ignition coil and TMF chain conversion along with some more gloss black engine parts to work alongside my Feuling reaper 505/515 cams,Vance and Hines FP3, Vance and Hines stainless 2-1 upsweep, some SE plugs and plug wires. I already built the front and rear suspension with Progressive 490 sport series shocks and Progressive adjustable monotube cartridge kit and a Daytona steering damper and my clutch with Barnett plates, Barnett billet pressure plate and a barnett 25% diaphram spring rooted to some 1FNGR levers, and of course front and rear 11.5 floating Brembo rotors and pads, with radial Tokico calipers (upgrading to Brembo) and brackets to fit the radial calipers and larger rear brake rotor, braided lines, XR1200 master cylinder and I am sure there is lots more (I have 2 fuel gauges, a tach, oil temp/level gauge,seat, bars, mid controls, carbon fiber front and rear fender, and carbon fiber side panels) After all this work I can't wait to rip it this season!
I’ll admit I don’t watch the channel like I used to... however the way the iron came out is oddly familiar... glad your still around block, and you sir are killing it
i did the harley 1200 conversion kit to an iron 883 a few years ago and it was my first teardown experience with a hog i loved it after that! You should also get the fuel sending unit/brake reservoir fuel gauge too! Harley kinda shit the bed on me and wouldn't tune it for me without buying the kit from them but a little help from a friend and v&h tuner later and it ran awesome for years until i sold it!
@@curtin94 that makes sense, once he said it. For some reason supermotos just don't appeal to me looks wise. But thank you, too, kind sir for the answer
Since this bike is still rocking the 883 heads, it'll pull great off the bottom, runs outta breath as the rpms climb though. 1200 heads, especially ported one, really wake it up at higher ranges.
I know it's an older build but got offered one really dirt cheap and I'm curious what I can get out of it... but it caught my attention cause I had issues with a bdl kit.. because I didn't realize it had different preload specs than factory on a belt drive primary kit. It's like 2 full revolutions instead of harley single after you seat it
Just curious - when you built it did you break it in some before dyno tuning. i know when i did my 131 kit they put in a base map then came back after a break-in period.
I just did a screaming eagle stage 2 kit on my 2011 harley-davidson ultra classic electra glide. From a 96 to a 103 with 225 cams. And a new S&s full exhaust system. Headers nd mufflers. And it is so much more power and so much louder and faster.. LOVE MY HARLEY!! But don't u got to do a 500 mile break in period? Before getting on it. Cause the service manager at Finger Lakes Harley-Davidson in Cayuga New York told me I had too and not to take it above 4 1/2 RPM??
@@WesFromIndiana thanks bro ! I have a 2020 street glide with just about 30miles on it got it with 7 and this is my first bike that I have ever been on so I want to be gentle in my learning curve
@@BlockheadMoto just so I don't annoy you, have you/are you going to address the differences in a video? And if not, is there somewhere I can find out what the differences mean in terms of performance?
I want to know what all the giveaway bikes weigh once there finished all with full tanks. Please do a power to weight ratio while you got all 3 bikes there.
Hey i just noticed the front turn signals on the iron 883/1200 are mounted above the lower triple tree. Does anyone what part is that because most i have seen put it on that lower triple tree
So, since this is a revzilla sponsored video, do you have any intentions of doing a collab with Ari and Zack? I subbed to you after an Indian bobber review which had a real Zack Courts' morning-ride-to-the-office feel. Only lacked the "can you back it in?" part... 😛 I think it'd be a great match! 😊
Honda 1100 Rebel is a bargain. How much did you pay for the used, 883? How much is the 1200 kit with labor and new clutch. A new 883 with alarm, ABS, and paint is $11,000. You could buy a new Duke 890r with TFT dash, stability control and IMU for $12,000.
I honestly never expected you to see and reply haha. But thanks for the info I will be awaiting to hear sometime if you guys ever find out. Thank you sir and keep up the great work.
Too bad Revzilla doesn't carry the Hammer Performance 1275 kit, you'd have got close or even hit 100 HP. NGL, kind of disappointed in the S&S Hooligan kit. Yammie Newb did the HP 1275 kit & hit over 90 HP on the Dyno with his 883!
A question for you or for Chris You basically have a new engine you’re going to take it into the Dino room and run it hard run it through its paces You buy a new bike and then the dealership tells you to Break it in before you run it hard So I guess my question is why wouldn’t you break in your bike the way you will write it if you’re going to be the one that runs it hard why would you break it in soft does that make sense
I could literally listen to that guy talk about motors all day long. Seems like a very knowledgeable guy, great stuff Blockhead!!!!
Chris is the coolest & I’ve learned from him watching the vlogs.
He’s so cool.
Great personality and makes it looks so easy. Not afraid of the camera and explains things!
Seeing you ride that iron brings me back to the old days of the channel😌

Damn, total cost? Was it worth it? I wonder if its possible to put a buell engine in a sportster..
Chris really enjoy you being on here.
Always appreciate the knowledge Chris.
The after numbers are nice for that hooligans kit.
Hooah
I do love seeing Chris on here, seems like a properly nice dude. I've given him a follow there now :)
That has serious speeding ticket vibes! Lightweight bikes, bigger engines, heavy throttle from me...tickets...
I’ll admit I don’t watch the channel like I used to... however the way the iron came out is oddly familiar... glad your still around block, and you sir are killing it
Thanks man!
Just finished my S&S Hooligan Kit on my 2017 Iron. Finishing paint and will post soon in a week or so. Thanks for posting this. Dig it,
1200 power with 883 gearing =💪🏻💪🏻
Nothing better than an upload on a Monday!
Now that's one nice Iron, definitely has some pick up and go. Onward and upward!
Good stuff bro. Would love to see how it compares to a stock 48 now. Would be a great comparison test. 👍🏾👌🏾
Why doesn't Chris have a channel? So much knowledge! Thanks Chris and Blockhead!
That''s a pretty sick looking bike, love it!!
I have been watching for the last while and I wanted you to know your videos are helpful and amazing
My favorite part of this video is that you provided before and after power numbers.
thank you for posting this video i've been waiting to see if this is worth the money. now i'll have to order it now!!!
I would have thought the stock 883 had more hp. Great video, excited for the winner. Would be awesome if one of them were me!

Chris is killing it with those shoes!! Bike looks fuggin sweeeet! Can't wait to win it 😄
Looks great, sounds great. Great work Block.
Looks like I’m gonna have to find the parts I need to S&S my XLN. Super sick.
i was hoping for more, my stage 1 Iron 1200 2020 is 82 max power at 5500rpm and 120 max torque at 4000rpm
Thanks Chris!
Ive never been super interested in HD's until I found your channel (Sumo and Sport Bike guy). But damn Chris makes me want a wide glide lmfao!
Ok, I'm new to bikes, so pardon my ignorance. I know what a sport bike is, but Sumo, that's a new term to me
Super moto 👍🏼
@@BlockheadMoto thank you, kind sir!
@@csolivais1979 damn block is way faster than me at comments! But yes supermoto. Specifically a drz400sm 😎

Gonna be a lucky person to win that bike! Nice work gentlemen.

I don't know why they didn't go with the 1200 heads. They left a lot of power on the table.
Thank you! I'm gonna get this kit for mine
I know it's an older build but got offered one really dirt cheap and I'm curious what I can get out of it... but it caught my attention cause I had issues with a bdl kit.. because I didn't realize it had different preload specs than factory on a belt drive primary kit.

Looks like it came out awesome!
I gotta say that 1200cc is pretty quick
I wonder how much does that 2 into 1 makes difference on the numbers..
Production value is 🔥🔥 as always!!!
Did you do the break in before booting it ?
Nice t-shirt Chris ☘️ 💚
Was that filmed during saint Paddy's day 😂
LOOK AT ALL THESE EFFECTS
Blockhead going all out on these videos
Damn near doubled it!
Just curious - when you built it did you break it in some before dyno tuning. i know when i did my 131 kit they put in a base map then came back after a break-in period.
Yes, we did
@@BlockheadMoto Great video as always. How long was the break in process?. Cheers
Ive been so fucking stoked to see this
Will the FP3 be sufficient to tune the ecm with the s&s hooligan kit 883 to 1200
Great work 💪🏼
U dynotunet it direct after the build ? No break time ?
Are the brakes good enough stock with the extra speed it will get u to ?
Looks so sick with the new TBR pipe - sounds mean and it rips too 🔥🙌. Considering the S&S Hooligan kit or Hammer performance myself
Hammer has 1275
Hammer 1275!
Get the hammer performance kit. I'm kind of disappointed this is only making 72HP
@@dynalonerider6008 Thanks for the feedback man! - what are numbers? Keen to know how they compare
@@dynalonerider6008 Nice!
Awesome vid bro, that thing sounds like a beast🔥🔥🔥
Awesome build
Impressive iron 883 is it considered a1200 now .
Looks fun
Blockhead: revs engine
Me: Oh, OH Yes
dan dan the fireman would not approve of all that road rage going on there hahah.
Having ridden with DanDan, I’ve got some stories, lol
What bars are these ? apart form being drag style
Are the stock brakes adequate for this application or were they worked on too?
Don't you need to run the motor in befor you power run it or is it done at the factory?.

What kind of seat are you using
mad
Fingers crossed I win it, if I do I'll bring my 48 down in my truck and we can compare them, take a quick detour to Mexico 😂
What is a good cleaner to use on the denim paint?
H-D sells a denim paint spray. I just use windex, someone told me it’s the same stuff, just make sure there’s no ammonia in it 👍🏼
@@BlockheadMoto thanks!
First thoughts 🤔.....U WANT IT! She's a sexy beast. Nice build!
so nice!!
New rider and changing gears ⚙️ so far as DOWNSHIFTING when I slow down is that bad on my Glide ?
If you mean engine breaking, then no it doesn't affect your engine. Will help your brake pads last longer tho

@@ministerbrice599 no problem, ride safe🤙
Magnifique 👍
24 years of experience? So he's been wrenching since he came out his mommas belly. Lol. Good genes. Nice build
How tall is that tank lift? Looks really proportional.
how much did all the upgrades cost? is it even worth it or is it just better to buy a iron 1200
I'm sure this was asked and answered elsewhere, but what's the difference between this 1200 and a regular 1200 Sportster?
Displacement is the same but gearing, cams, clutch and tune are all different.
@@BlockheadMoto just so I don't annoy you, have you/are you going to address the differences in a video? And if not, is there somewhere I can find out what the differences mean in terms of performance?
I finally rode 2 Harleys Saturday a livewire it was awesome and a fat boy i was not impressed
Man, was that the really good LSD I was taking, or did you do some really cool trick shit during the Dyno Room scene?
That’d be the new editor flexin on us 😂
Damn I want that bike🤠

Hey man, what exhaust is that?
Hey man do I just use your Ruroc link to get discount?
“24 years of experience” and the dude barely looks 30! He’s aged great!
Want chris to make a channel just showing us him doing things to bikes
Hey i just noticed the front turn signals on the iron 883/1200 are mounted above the lower triple tree. Does anyone what part is that because most i have seen put it on that lower triple tree
Speed run segments filmed in Tijuana, Mexico....
Hey Block, did it need breaking in at all with the new piston rings and cylinders? I guess not if you had to give it a tube on the Dyna? 👍
We rode it before putting it on the Dyno
Should have Done the Hammer Performance 1275 kit with cams
So, since this is a revzilla sponsored video, do you have any intentions of doing a collab with Ari and Zack? I subbed to you after an Indian bobber review which had a real Zack Courts' morning-ride-to-the-office feel. Only lacked the "can you back it in?" part... 😛
I think it'd be a great match! 😊
I’m down! 😊
I want that bike 🏍 💨😛
Dope
So, about 2500$ (including dyno) + installation labor costs. Is the performance and price that different from a stock 1200 stage one?
We’ll have to compare and see!
Honda 1100 Rebel is a bargain. How much did you pay for the used, 883? How much is the 1200 kit with labor and new clutch. A new 883 with alarm, ABS, and paint is $11,000. You could buy a new Duke 890r with TFT dash, stability control and IMU for $12,000.
I love how it takes all this work and upgrading to make a harley as fast as a honda. Lol
BIG IROOOOON BIG IROOOON
Did it run hotter than normal after the upgrade?
Not that I could tell, but we’ll run it more soon
My dream bike harley ❤️🥰😍
Nice!
How many year master tech is he? 🤣🤙
The bike sound awesome.. Please change the sad little horn.
Put it up against goldzilla!!!!!
Doesn’t stand a chance, we already seen Goldzilla at 140/140 😂
Hey block you probably won’t see this.. but why is there the little bounce where the hp and tq cross on both the pre and post work Dyno runs?
That’s actually something they’ve brought up to DynoJet and are having looked at.
