How To Install Dyna Front Cartridges on a Harley - Fix My Hog
Hey Sean, I have a question for you. I have a 2009 Road king and I was thinking of deleting the cat so that my chrome Werks muffler would sound louder and the Bike can breathe better is that something I could do and would it make the muffler sound louder? All that cat is doing is holding the sound and Power back. Please correct me if I’m Wrong. Thank you in advance
Hey buddy, so deleting the cat will do two things…..1) it will get rid of a TON of heat generated from the cat 2) it will deepen the exhaust note a little nothing drastic but will also help it breathe and move air more efficiently. Personally I would get it out ASAP ! Can you do it….sure ! If you have access to a welder or someone with a welder it would be beneficial. The way I do it is cut the pipe in half and get out ALL the catalyst material (it’s platinum) plus it’s easier to do with two small halves. once all is removed and cleaned out I’ll weld it up and BAM it’s done
I actually put a kerker exhaust on my 2024 Road Glide
How do you like it ?
@@VtwinRevolution I like it a lot better than the factory exhaust and it’s not overly obnoxious, and as the bike breaks in it seems to sound even better.
Yeah anything is better than stock LOL ! Nice…..I’m always looking to give customers different options. I will look into them
Hey, I have a 2000 Road King classic with a 95 ci kit installed. I want to do a stage 2 on it. What do you think? Thanks
Hey buddy, so if you have a 95” kit you already have a cam in it. The 95” big bore kits came with a SE203 cam. NOW !! You really wanna wake that thing up…..if you can find them the SE204 or the SE211 cam really made those 95’s run reeeaaalllll good lol
My FXR is converted from Harley to GSX-R 1100 forks and wheels with the rear having cushdrive factory, works great and I can change ratios with two other sprockets also, its old stuff now but it's hanging in there 💪🏽💪🏽
THATS BADASS !!!!!!
I for one can appreciate what you’re doing here. I’ve had to start working on my bike more and more over the past 5 years. I do like doing it but I’m not as fast as a seasoned guy. It takes me longer thus less riding time. I did have a mechanic I trusted and went too for all my work. He retired. I’m sure we have a lot of great mechanics here in the Cincinnati area. I’m still feeling a couple new guys out. Then there’s the fact that my bike is 21 years old. One HD shop has already said they won’t work on it because it’s too old and my parts are starting to be considered vintage. I’ve still been able to get parts but sometimes it takes a few weeks. I will probably buy a new one in the next few years. I’ve held off this long because my “Twinkie” (I love that) has been so reliable. I’ll never get rid of it, but a newer tech bike would be nice as well. Oh, the Ryan Newman Buffalo fun fact is pretty cool!
Thank you ! The goal here is to help people whether that’s giving food for thought or it’s helping them be able to work on this stuff the correct way. There is a lot of bad info out there and I just want people to be safe, I weighed the fact that what I’m doing could potentially hurt my business in the long run….but it’s a risk I’m willing to take because of some of the most REDNECK ENGINEERED !!! Stuff I see come through the doors and it’s unsafe. Look I still ride an 07 dyna. I get it I love my bike and have held off as well on getting a different bike because, well they don’t make it anymore AND it’s paid for haha in a few years I’ll be faced with obsolete parts issues but for now I just keep on digging! Thank you for watching ! I appreciate your support.
Is better than the 2023 117?? Do it run better ?
That’s subjective….are there perks now, yes ! You have ride modes to select from. Road mode, rain mode and sport mode. Better-ish suspension and newer tech. I’m still getting used to the look of the bike but it’s growing on me. All in all do I think it’s a better platform now, yes it’s got room for growth and handles better and performs better.
@@VtwinRevolution what about more horsepower than the 2023 117 since it’s liquid cooled??
So the new 24’s are just water cooled in the heads. The only bikes that are full water cooled are the pan-am, sportster S and the nightster. There really isn’t much difference in the HP and TQ from the 23-24 2024 117 M8 105hp 130ft-lb tq 2023 117 M8 103hp 126ft-lb tq There’s really not much difference
Ok last 3 is it more fuel efficiency than the 23?? Can you sit at stop lights without overheating in hot temperatures?? And which mode is the best mode to ride in when it come to saving gas??
Dude, you could ask me as many questions as you want lol. They claim it gets 44mpg, I saw one in the shop the other day that I was doing a service on that showed 47mpg Can you sit in traffic without over heating, No. the coolant only flows through the heads to keep the bike running as consistently as possible. The cylinders are still air cooled and you could cook them if you got stuck in an extended traffic stop situation. Road mode is gonna give you the best possible fuel mileage
Tight spot in the chain? I don't understand that part.
All chains have a spot where the deflection is less than the rest of the chain, you find that spot and adjust your chain deflection off of that. Let’s say you check your chain and it feels super loose and you get your adjustment correct, then roll it over and the chain doesn’t move cause it’s TIGHT !! Well that tight spot can cause the chain to prematurely fail or cause sprocket damage. If you have any other questions I would be happy to help !
Oh yeah!! Sounding sweet
Ouch effing quit it!
🤣
Cool
👍🏻
I have a 24 Road Glide ST bought in California I just installed a Tap Performance full exhaust. Can I install the screaming eagle pro tuner on my bike I seen another you tube video that said it won’t fit or it will not work on my bike because I’m in California can you help me with this issue please
Hey buddy, I apologize for the late response….i was off yesterday for my birthday. I spoke to one of the other techs that just moved from Cali to confirm info before I told you wrong. so there is a California part number to the street tuner and then there is a 49 state part number the Cali street tuner is obviously more restrictive but they do offer one for California bikes. Hope this helps !!
Thanks for the response and Happy belated birthday one more quick question please. I know I can’t buy a 49 state tuner in California. But if I can get one witch I already know how to. would it work on my bike. The main reason I’m asking is I’m picking it up Saturday the 49 state pro tuner. But if you know for sure it’s not going to work I won’t even open it I’ll just send it back because I heard once it’s opened it can’t be returned. Thank you and sorry I’m asking these dumb questions I just wish it will work thanks again
Thank you ! And you’re not a bother or asking stupid questions….this is what this channel is for, helping people. With that said I believe that if you put a 49 state tuner on it’s possibly gonna throw a code for your EVAP, the only reason a day this might be a possibility is because if I accidentally install a ECM software update that’s for a California bike on a bike in NC or 49 state bike it throws codes I can’t get rid of. I will verify this for sure from my co-worker that’s from Cali tomorrow morning and message you back so that you are getting 100% accurate info.
Ok cool thanks
Hey brother, so I just spoke with my co-worker and a 49state tuner will not work because the software recognizes the VIN as a Cali bike and will not let you download a tune into the bike. If at some point you are looking for more tuning capabilities I would look at the TTS tuner….they were the ORIGINAL manufacturers of the old SE race tuner before Harley got their pecker slapped by the EPA.
Awesome job
Thank you !
I’m not mechanic but I love watching videos like this. Gives me ideas for what to do for my bike. Ty.
Happy to help ! Glad you enjoyed the video 🤘
Great video you voice is easy listen and follow.
Thank you !
That’s how we learn. I but the progressive on my 2018 Ultra limited and thinking about the fox on my 2023.
Nice ! I’m telling you this fox suspension is an awesome cost effective option that gives you a great ride ! I’m sold
Yrs I know.
👍🏻
Great video. I have been wanting to upgrade the front suspension on my Street Glide, to the Ohlins, but have just been nervous to try it myself. One random question. My “Run/Stop switch stopped working, m it no longer “kills” the bike. I have to use the ignition. Should I automatically just replace the switch or are there other things that could cause it?
What year bike do you have ?
@@VtwinRevolution 21
You’d need to replace the RHCM (right hand control module) there are no individual switches
@@VtwinRevolution Thanks. I appreciate you always taking the time to reply and help out.
Those switch packs have individual switch functions but are on one computer board, I wouldn’t think there is anything to look deeper into…..you’d have other issues if there was a deeper problem

Need you to slow down.
Hahaha
That video would have been LONG !!!!
I got the same pool! 😂 It's been up for 3 yrs....might have to get this front fork kit...
lol ! I’m sold ! and it’s a very great option for suspension that won’t break the bank
Looks good! Great content as always!
Thank you sir !
Great work brother!
Thanks dude !
Nice run down on this .Went with race tech and ohlins on my XR1200 what a change in the handling and ride.Have used Fox on other bikes very good stuff. Another great vid. dude Geist Wulf Cycles
XR1200 what an awesome and under valued bike !! Thanks dude !
great video man keep up the good work old man
lol thanks bubba
The title of this one almost scared me off. When it said "elevate your ride" I thought you were doing about a 12" lift kit on your Dyna like seems to be so popular these days. And the audio was great. Too many guys set it up so we don't hear the bike. Can't stand that..good seeing you again.
lol HELL NO !!! That dyna is not gettin lifted. thanks dude
Fox better than legend
I’m sold on the fox stuff….its a solid cost effective option
Roughly how many hours of labor is that through the dealership??
4 hrs labor

Noice, that’s like my irrational fear, my DYNA 103 Fat Bob (14’) No panning for me, I’ll just buy the gold and grind it up! Seems better psychologically than “discovering” a moto-shart scenario, lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 epic 🤣🤣
Is the the stock Ventilator intake on the 23 back is the same as the P&A kit ? I read the filter was different in it.
It’s the same and yes the filter is different. You could buy a K&N and put it in its place
Now try to be gentle with it 🥁🎸
SERIOUSLY ! 🤣
It lives again,hell yea dude Geist Wulf Cycles

Lost my key fob I know my pin but can’t take it to Harley since I’ve been kicked out of them how do I program a new key fob?
lol, sometimes you’ll have that. Find an aftermarket shop that has a techno research or scan tool that can perform those type of jobs
Hi Sean, I have a 2021 Road Glide Limited and I added SVT Boneshaker slip-on's. I wanted to change to a screaming eagle heavy breather snorkel, but I didn't want to do a tune. Is that going to screw up my performance and the bike won't run properly? Thanks in advance.
Hey buddy. If I’m not mistaken your bike came with a ventilator style breather from the factory, so will it change how the bike behaves by going with the snorkel …..maybe a little. Honestly I would just recommend getting a tuner like the PV4, you’ll have a ton of tuning options like for cams or different exhausts down the road
Hey Sean, I will take a look at the PV4. I definitely didn't want to use the HD tuner. Thanks for the advice and stay well.@@VtwinRevolution
Happy to help !!! Keep the shiny side up brother 🤘
Sup Shawn. I just got a S&S Intake for my M8 and boy is it rough inside do u recommend porting and polishing it b4 install.?
Hey dude, no it’s fine. Even stock manifolds in the TC days were rough as a corncob, if that is kinda bothering you I believe S&S makes a polished version of that manifold. You could send it back and get a polished one cause you got the S&S 475 cam too correct ?? I mean would it help the airflow? Yes. Would you even know the difference if it wasn’t polished? No. So it’s really up to you and how long you’re willing to wait and how much more you’re willing to spend. Hey was it you that knew the dude from evolution industries ? Cause I was correct In saying I have one of their EARLY TC billet baskets. I’m probably gonna do a video on it and give these guys huge props. Since I’m putting my bike back together I have to replace the clutch plates they’re toast and was looking at the basket and it’s not even beat up…..and I beat the dog shit out of my bike just a testament to their products 🤘
@VtwinRevolution Yes I'm putting the 475 S&S cam in my M8 and yeah I know Ed out at Evolution industries. I'll let him know your putting their Products out there with great props Thanks man.
Cool !
Keep it coming, looking forward to seeing the channel grow!!!
Thank you !
Are those fuel moto pushrods?
Yes
How do you get it off if it’s already welded I’m having trouble with that
Ugh….that blows !! Take the derby cover off and bust the jam nut loose for the adjuster, also remove the C-clip holding the adjuster plate in. Then you’re gonna have to remove the exhaust and get access to the trans side cover. Take that cover off and you might be able to spin the whole thing to un-thread it from that adjuster plate on the other side and then hope like hell you can wiggle one end or the other to break that friction weld free so you can get the rod out. Good luck dude !
You should just prop your phone up on your toolbox and go live for a few hours during the day while working in the shop
Not a bad idea….but. I would be banned from YT within the hour, lmao !! The things that are said in the shop are OFFENSIVE
It's called a life. And you definitely got one. Make 'em when you can. We'll watch 'em when we can. Like you said it's summer and everyone is busy.
🤘
It is what it is, take care of business and when you get a chance then put in the time, I have basically stopped everything I was doing because I lost my 4 year old baby son on 17 June , and I can’t seem to get going,
Brother I will be saying a prayer for strength and peace for you !!! I’m truly sorry to hear that !
its all good brother, ill watch whatever and whenever you post. You have a real job, real family, real life. Post when you can. Take it easy brother.
Thank you ! Just don’t wanna start something and then go absent without letting everyone know what’s up
