Brilliant- this has given me the re assurance to complete my own stage one with John Lilley who I know to be a “ top gun” equivalent in the Harley motorbike service business👍 Looking forward to more vids John. Thanks for sharing. A much needed informative clip for anyone in Northern ireland 😁
Hi, i enquired about slip ons and then the pipes you have on for my 2021 fatbob, euro 5, the supplying Harley dealer say the have a work around, they don't fit a tuner but do some sort of download for stage 1, they said it would not effect warranty & the bike would run fine, guess i'll find out in a couple of weeks.
I have my own 2020 Softail standard, I appreciate seeing your journey with it. Since I share your mod interests. There is not much content for it. Lookin good brotha!
Thanks for that pal, I have done a fair bit of small mods and stuff so maybe will do a video recalling everything to date and maybe highlight my future plans also. Thanks for taking the time to watch, appreciate it! 👌😃
I have the same bike, with same exhaust, only difference, from Dean Speed Customs, have one of their sissy bars, handle bars , and a 2 inch tank rise, my dream bike
Hi pal…so I don’t have a tuner in place, but have flashed the ECU with Diag4Bike software as tuners were not available. Led to believe the FP3 will not work with 2021- present models. Perhaps the Fp4 will? I am not sure. I stayed away from screaming eagle personal preference. What pipes you going for?
@Flex & Freedom , Hi there, was initially just going with slip ons either vance and hines, s and s or rhineharts, not too sure, once warranty out probably a 2 into 1 .
@@jimauld1139 nice choice, that will be an awesome transformation! Enjoy that sound 😍 and ride safe! Thanks for watching the videos, check out our other videos of our bikes for ideas of the style and sound of the V&H stuff too!
Hi mate - really depends on what you include as part of the stage 1 really (pipes/air intake). The software is reasonably affordable and easily done though! £1600 all in for mine including V&H big shots and arlen ness monster sucker!
Greetings from across the pond! Now that you've had the bike for a bit of time, just wondering if you've noticed a significant difference (decrease) in your MPG? Nice bike...Way to go!
There’s a slight decrease but I wouldn’t say it’s significant at all, especially when you consider the feel good factor from the extra rumble from the pipes and that little bit of extra power when you twist the throttle 🤙
@@flexfreedom1969 I’m just not a massive fan of Chrome mate. Don’t mind a bit of it. Think now with them pipes in looks a different animal and sounds it
Huge difference, sounds so tame pre-stage 1 😂 Yeah now that you mention it I think so too but haven't had too many spins on the bike yet so must pay close attention. Thank you pal, very much appreciated and thanks for watching! 😀
Cheers dude, thanks for watching! In terms of difference, depends on the regulations in your area i.e in Northern Ireland/UK 2021 models and onwards are manufactured to comply with E5 laws in relation to emissions, but 2021 and previous only needed to comply with E4, where the rules are less stringent. Would imagine specification/performance wise there is very little if not, zero, difference.
Hey rich! Good question, that would mean any bike pre 2021 would technically fail MOT if that where the case as it is only 21 models onwards that are Euro 5 compliant from factory…. It seems to be a restriction implemented on bike suppliers rather than the consumer itself , as far as I am aware there is no follow up at present to check if the bikes are still compliant with Euro 5 after leaving the factory, our local centres do not check emissions but no doubt this could change in the near future Luckily our local dealer now offers a stage 1 package on 21 and 22 models that as far as I am aware runs with the euro 5 rear sensors still in place Hope this helps Thanks for stopping by 🤙 Aaron
Just doesn’t seem to be worth it just to make it sound louder. I’ve got a 22 standard and unless there was a performance upgrade it’s just doesn’t seem worth it for what you have to pay.

Thanks Ron, appreciate the kind words! will have to cross paths soon, once weather picks up!!
Looks good mate. I have a 2020 standard.Been modded to my taste. Its a great bike. Love your content
Thanks for watching man, have a few more FXST videos coming in shortly! Great bikes! Hope you stick around 💪👌

now that the airways are less restrictive a torque cam will let more air into the motor ,, this should make a fair difference .

Hi, so what tuner are you using isit Screaming Eagle or FP3/4, hoping to get something done on my uk 2021 fatbob. Cheers

How much did stage 1 cost in NI? Also does it eliminate the o2 senors issue (euro 5 regulations) so you can change out the exhaust?

@@flexfreedom1969 cool thanks. So your ecu doesn’t have any issues with the rear o2 sensors (euro 5)?
@@robio1982 No, I got a Diag4Bike ECU map installed and the bike is running perfectly! :)
Awesome job. One question; Did the engine light got triggered?
Cheers Tom and thanks for watching the vid 👌
No engine light didn’t get activated as rear o2 sensor is “deleted” as an input!
@@flexfreedom1969 keep the rubber on the ground ✌🏻
Cool beans
Thanks for watching Pat!
Is always nice getting the mods done.
Cheers Hippo, especially when you have waited circa 8 months for said mods! Just in time for Irish/UK riding fair weather season coming to an end! 😅

do you know the difference between a 2021 and a 2020 , mines 21 reg but I suspect its a 2020 production, looking good though fella

No difference, same as 2022 bike
hi, can you find out the model of the exhaust system?
Vance and Hines - big shots staggered! 👌
Thanks for watching!
If it is not Euro 5 compliant will it not fail an MOT?
