Testing 89c.i. Iron Head Sportster, HARLEYS ONLY

Motorcycle Drag Bike

[@randylanhart1387]

Sweet sporty I'm just seeing this video now. But I'm very impressed with the build. How about the build details. My first build was a early 60s xlch bottom , Andrews R5 cams ,70 over jugs,major worked over heads, Manley valves , guides,springs, s+s carb, Morris mag ignition ... And a kicker!! Front was a smith and fetrow 9 over girder IT WAS BRUTAL ON THE STREET PLUS IT WAS A HARDTAIL I WASTED LOTS OF PEOPLE STOPLIGHT TO STOPLIGHT.

[@oldamericaniron5767]

Smith and Fetrow was in my book the best girder built. I have a very old one built with hexagonal stock.

[@handgunner1911]

finally after looking at several videos of people saying their sportsters are strokers i found yours a real stroker lol thanks nice bike

[@georgematteucci3278]

You ain't coming around a stroked sporster. We ran top gas in the AMRA my brother's 93 inch was running in the 10 teens. I'm going to put one on the street one of these day's. Much respect!🤟⚡🇺🇲

[@charliedee9276]

I had a friend who has passed campaigned a 95" ironhead in the AMRA, 9 second bike. Bike was called "Time Tunnel"

[@tyandrews545]

I'm going fucking nuts right now... Bloody Awesome guys I just built one with a friend so i know how much work goes, and money, into a project like this!!! Outstanding guys

[@MrJimmy1437]

Why spend money on that crap? Roll a Kawasaki , a Honda or a Yamaha off the showroom floor, for less money, and they will out run, out handle, out last any piece of shit Harley!

@@MrJimmy1437 Man you are one hate filled person.

[@johnnymcquinn6025]

That's what it's supposed to sound like....dam! Would like to have one again, after I got back from the service I have not rode much with my injuries. Looking for a bike now...,believe it's what I need. Dig your your bike.....

[@123HarleysOnly]

I have a 1976 Iron Head Sportster with only 40 miles on the new engine. A friend of mine ran into some money problems so to help him out I bought it from him. I already have 3 Drag Bikes And 2 street bikes. Asking $2k for it.

[@123HarleysOnly]

I sold that bike to guy who's racing it over in Norway....

[@chopperchopster]

ironheads arent for girls. Have you ever kick started one?

[@johnnymcquinn6025]

that's what I am talking about......

[@ckelley63]

AWESOME!!

[@gatorshd]

Bad ass

[@getoffmygrass6974]

I’m curious what their compression is at and fuel being used. I don’t expect build details as it’s 7 years old and usually racer’s aren’t keen on sharing their secrets but it sounds decent.

[@123HarleysOnly]

It had 12:1 compression ran on VP C-12 Racing fuel. It was a starter bike I build for a friend and half way through the build he wanted to go Jap so I bought the bike from him and added to my other three Drag bikes I owned. Now it is being Raced over in Norway. As I said it was a starter bike for someone that wanted to start racing, but it was to small for me so I sold it. The guy that bought it in Norway is having a Blast with it!

[@getoffmygrass6974]

@@123HarleysOnly Right on man! Bike sounds great and figured it had to be potent octane. Cool story to boot, thanks for the reply!

[@Gofastson]

Beautiful

[@wolfeyes9357]

Have a 74" stroker ironhead..am i still timing it at 40 degress btdc with a dyna s ignition?

[@123HarleysOnly]

Time it the same way you did before. It should be timed just before TDC. You can play with it at that point. I'm sure your still have auto advance....

[@williamquire2115]

Wish I would of had a better look at the top end it just dont look like an iron head maybe a shovel top end just saying

[@123HarleysOnly]

This one here was just a little 89 c.i.open push rod Iron Head. Sold it to guy over in Norway. He's racing the Hell out of it!

[@robertheck1806]

I’d make that thing a daily rider. If I’m trying to go to jail.

[@123HarleysOnly]

That bike had to be started with an external starter. NO WAY was it street able....

[@chopperchopster]

@@123HarleysOnly I guess he didnt know what you were doing when you were starting it. I was wondering if it could be kick started if it had compression releases. Maybe?

[@brandonmacon3317]

Fukn A 🤘

She sounds HOT

[@charlesross1682]

it dont need a valve job i bet itwould do ajob on anything you ever sat on if you ever popped the clutch on this you shit your pants

Yes

[@Johnclark300]

Old Harley's only no new school

[@mikeruark1727]

How much

[@123HarleysOnly]

Sold..

[@DRSmith-wq4td]

sounds like its in need of a valve job...

[@123HarleysOnly]

That is a fresh 89 ci stroker With big "R" valves in it with a set of custom cams made by Jim Leineweber. The bike is set up for 1/8 mile. The very first pass it ran a 6.20 Changed the carb from an old B S&S to a S&S E. Now it runs between 5.90 & 6.00 Not to bad for a bike that needs a valve job! LMAO

[@t.s.racing]

Yes Dr. I agree the crankshaft valves do need replacement or adjustment. Perhaps the camshaft capacitor isn't reading full advance too.

[@jonnymac8925]

You sound like you don't have a clue what you are talking about.

[@NM-eb5ej]

Father inlaw has a iron head high gear only on nitro, this doesn't even come close.

[@123HarleysOnly]

This Bike was Built for a customer that wanted to start racing. The Bike is now in Norway being raced.....

[@jonnymac8925]

Cool story about your father in laws bike. Do you always go around shit talking other people's bikes and bragging about a bike that isn't even yours? I'm willing to bet you don't even own a bike. Your father in law probably thinks you are a clown. Build your own bike if you are going to brag 😆 🤣

[@MrJimmy1437]

What is the fascination with that old Harley chopper junk? Its underpowered, rides like a lumber wagon , handle like shit etc?

[@chopperchopster]

hey dummy thats a drag bike . Choppers arent junk regardless. You dont like? Dont build one. Me? I have imports and HD. I simply like different rides at different times. Choppers are just as much fun as a sport bike . LOL I bet you couldnt even start my panheads. Magneto ignition and kick only. Modern tech is great and all but its got no soul. No connection to the rider. It just starts and goes. I like adjusting pushrods. I like tinkering with my sleds. Of course my daily ride is an 09 Dyna. just starts and goes. But the old stuff is still fun. Kinda like having a Model T Ford! Not to mention that NOBODY stops and checks out the new modern car or bike as it rolls by. If I pull up on my pan in a lot full of new stuff lots of people walk over to see it. Hell They walk over to see my 71 Honda CB750 FOUR SOHC chopper too. Old stuff is just cool because it was built by CRAFTSMAN not robots. new cars suck . The car makers wow you with all this digital tech crap. Im good. Prefer a 57 Chevy Belaire!

@@chopperchopster your very right!! I have a 1980 superglide, 1980 flh , 1973 sportster rigid. Wouldn't ever part with any of those but my 2005 roadking or my 2008 ultra I would trade for something in a heartbeat. It's in the blood. My drag bike was from a 1981 sportster built to a pro gas bike.
