Think I'm gonna put one of these on my 48! Great video man.
Cool vid! That air cleaner really goes well on the iron
Thanks! Simple and crinkle black. The color/ texture is a dead match to the Harley Factory crinkle black too.
Nice job, beautiful Dobie
Thank you!
Been looking for the perfect one for my Iron. I think you convinced me.
Awesome! The price is right too!
If you want tons of blowby on your pants and exhaust definitely buy it.
@@tylerhubbell6410 I’ve been riding for about two weeks with them, so far VERY little signs of “leak” but I’ll admit I’ve only ridden it around locally for 50 miles or so and haven’t romped on the throttle much. I love the simplicity and hoping for the best (that’s the regular kind of riding I do) but first sign of it being messy, they’re gone and I’ll run banjo bolts with hoses.
For my iron I got a smoked fly shield from Dartt and English Company.
That's the best part about the iron... Customizing it!
Looks good!!
Thanks!
Nice bro! Cheers from Germany!!!
Thanks for the comment and sub! More 883 mods coming up over the winter.
Did the breather bolts for older bikes have smaller holes in them than the breathers for EFI bikes?
I think they're the same size from 1991 to current. I good place to check is DK Customs. They sell lots of aftermarket parts for Sportsters and they're pretty helpful with fitment etc.
@@TheJourneyRUclips OK... picked up Chrome Arlen Ness big sucker for 2012 Sportster off Ebay and just want to make sure it has the correct bolts since it appears to missing a set. Bolts that came with it look like yours with the larger holes in them, I just question them because the stock bolts removed had a large opening on the outside of them but the other end that goes into the motor had a way smaller hole on the end. Thanks.
Damm that music is freakin loud
I’m new on bike and trying to learn. What’s the difference between the stock filter and the new one when it comes to performance of the motorcycle?
I've heard anywhere from 10% to even more. Check this article out. They claim more. bhp-uk.net/harley-davidson-iron-883-stage-1-upgrade
The bolt that holds in the stock bracket. Is it important that it would need to go back in or not? My instructions didn't say anything about this. Any knowledge about why it would be left open. Should a bolt be in there to seal it? Just wondering and any input would be great!
Is it the one toward the top? Mine never went back in either. I believe it was just for mounting purposes for the stock air box and is no longer used. I see no functional reason to install a bolt there unless you don't like the aesthetic of seeing the open threads.
Thanks man just wasn't sure if I did something wrong.
Does your right leg have more room (vs the stock filter)? Thanks.
There is a little more clearance, but neither of them is/was ever an issue for me based on where the legs are and where my knee is.
Do you need to dyna the bike after a new air filter and or get the fuel pack?
I assume you mean dyno tune? You don't need to tune the bike on a dyno if you only change the air cleaner. For many bolt-on performance upgrades, the installation of the FP3 and choosing the property settings on the FP3 will be sufficient. Hope this answers your question.
thx for the vid, did you use a torque wrench? if so what specs
Thanks for watching. I didn't use a torque wrench because the torque specs were so low that not even my in-lb. torque wrench read low enough. The instructions stated the settings so you should get all the specs you need with the new air filter, but I'm sorry that I forget what they were. Plus, with loctite, you don't need to worry about going tight. Don't overdo it and strip anything! You only need to go a little more than finger tight if I remember correctly.
@@TheJourneyRUclips ok I have blue loctite so it shouldn't be a problem.. do you know if this big sucker is good enough if I were to build to 1275? also what grease are you using?
Did you feel a difference in performance. ?
I think so, but not significant. It feels faster, but that could be a placebo effect because it sounds so good. Still worthwhile. If you want the most performance, get a 2 into 1 pipe.
Do you have a link for the air cleaner thanks ?
Yes sir. Check the finish, filter material and bike fitment on the link. The filter is an awesome value! www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/arlen-ness-smooth-stage-1-big-sucker-air-cleaner-kit-for-harley-sportster-1988-2017?gclid=CjwKCAjw3K2XBhAzEiwAmmgrAldPvoHBPXSjt5mLv0PC4nT-WQyfUPvoAUYAgEbfRWE4I5kjLMng-RoCC98QAvD_BwE&sku_id=878368
Is that breather smaller than the original OEM one
If by breather, you mean the air cleaner... This air cleaner looks smaller because it doesn't have the massive cover like the stock one, but it has much more surface area and let's in a lot more air than stock. There are also breather bolts. The size of those is irrelevant/ they are the same for all intents and purposes. Thanks for watching.
@@TheJourneyRUclips I was wondering because my Harley has rough crafts drag style pipes and was hoping to add the Arlen Ness air cleaner I'm Irish so lost in potato translation bro lol
How much was it? I'm going with the same one 👍
Awesome! It was about $180 U.S. from RevZilla.
Just purchased it for 171 dollars, excited to get it out on👍
@@derekwells3136 Awesome! Enjoy it! Don't forget that blue loktite!
Ok thanks I will get some for sure
Where did you find them pegs?
The foot pegs? They're stock.
What tuner did you use ??
Fuel Pack FP3.
@@TheJourneyRUclipsthe FP3 Vance and Hines has a map for the Arlen ness big sucker ? I thought not ?
@@jacobroberts2976 I don't think it actually says Big Sucker but it's just generically mapped for an aftermarket intake. So, it's a match in that regard.
@@TheJourneyRUclips have you seen what it looks / reads on the dyno to make sure it’s running right ?
Did u oil it?
Nope. The synthetic/ stainless filters don't require filter oil. That's why they aren't red. It's worth the look (not red) and convenience of not needing to oil it in my opinion.
Stop that terrible music 😢
do you have baffles ?
I have the stock baffles.
@@TheJourneyRUclips my baffles were removed by the previous owner I'm thinking about putting the stock one's back in it it's almost to loud lol
@@bryansullivan9588 I love loud pipes but it's almost too loud sometimes with stock baffles.
