You skipped right over the hardest part, getting the header pipes around the cylinder head fins and onto the exhaust ports! lol Even when you do it the recommended puzzle piece fitting way, it's real tight. I had to use some brute force to try to spread them a little bit as I worked that last pipe around the cooling fins and I still scraped the fins just a little bit. Didn't really do any damage though.
What am I supposed to show? me blocking the camera and taking the same 20-30 minutes of trial by error getting it to fit on right? Haha yeah it’s a PAIN by far the hardest part
Sounds great ! I was Kind thinking like she was 2 into one would look funny . I just bought the S&S duels with my screaming eagle slip ons that came on my 03 ROAD KING POLICE HAVE NOT STARTED IT yet I also bought DYNOJET POWER COMANDER 6 LOOKING FORWARD TO RIDING SOON. I hope I'm not disappointed
Nice video! Sounds really good. I just purchased the S&S headers for my 13 Ultra. How hard was it to get the header on the studs on the cylinders? Seems really tight!
Thank you, Landis! Nice! They do sound awesome and perform pretty well. It was really tight. It took 5 minutes or so of trying to wiggle them into the perfect spot, but that was by far the hardest part. Hopefully you get lucky, and they slide in perfectly🤘🏻
I bought my pipe in 2019 for a 2014 SG. Till this day I cannot get the cross-pipe to seal. I try to reseal it every season. Your cross-pipe clamp looks different than mine. It also cannot face the way yours is. My chrome shield goes way behind the back tire. It looks like yours is improved on a lot more than mine. I know it's not sealing because sometimes I get a backfire that sound like it's under the bike. I also snooped it AKA "soap and water" and it bubbles like crazy. I am getting to the point where I want to get a Vance and Hines X pipe. It looks a lot easier to install their cross pipe and the few ppl I know have no problems with it. Don't get me wrong I do love this pipe and I learn hard which I hear the x pipe will limit me at that. Do you or anyone on here have any tips or tricks?
Hmm interesting. Did you try loosening the bracket that secures the cross over to the bike, then adjusting/ tightening the cross over clamp? That’s the only thing I can think of. Perhaps reach out to them. Maybe they know that was a problem and perhaps they might send you a new part
grreat video but I have some novice questions. Why remove the main fuse? What criteria did you use to choose the brand of pipes? Does the bike require a tune after replacing headers?
Thank you! Main fuse removal is because we’re unplugging the o2 sensors, Harley’s can be extremely sensitive and throw a check engine light, so this prevents that. It was my fathers choice on pipes, he wanted a reputable brand which s&s obviously is as well as price, which these were on a great sale at the time. It is highly recommended to flash, I wouldn’t ride it much if at all until you get it flashed, especially depending on year and other mods.
I purchased the same set it up got a bag of hardware but I’m not seeing the flanges due any of you guys know if new flanges are suppose to come with headers
Thanks for watching! What do you think of the look & sound from these S&S Headers?
Let me know down below 👇
Looks good! Big night & day difference from when you rode it up on the lift. Thanks for the step by step video!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy the new sound!
Hey Kyle,s&s header pipes sound awesome,tell your dad thank him for his service.
Thanks William! I will most certainly relay that message! thanks for watching 🤘🏻
Sounds great! Thanks for the video. Good job 👍
Glad you like it!
That is the same bike that I have, got me thinking from North Wilmington
Very cool! Such a great color. It sounds way better in person, the video really doesn’t do it justice. Thanks for watching Tony!
Hey Dude thanks. How is your Saddleman Stepup Seat, is it good on long rides?

@@MotoHeadKyle lol, yes! Hahaha, I want to witness that from somewhere other than hands on and my bike.
Great video, but what's the torque spec for the exhaust flange?
It all depends on what year/model your bike is
I have Vanes and Hines headers and cross overs on mine with Rhineharts, sounds very similar. Also, what handlebars are on the bike?
Sounds great ! I was Kind thinking like she was 2 into one would look funny . I just bought the S&S duels with my screaming eagle slip ons that came on my 03 ROAD KING POLICE HAVE NOT STARTED IT yet
I also bought DYNOJET POWER COMANDER 6
LOOKING FORWARD TO RIDING SOON. I hope I'm not disappointed
Nice!! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed 🤘🏻
Great video!
Thank you! I appreciate that
good job guys sounds great !! You can make a tool with threded rod and washers to use installing the exhaust gasket look it up on you tube!! Peace!!
Oooh! That sounds interesting, I’ll have to look
Into that. Thanks Eric! ✌🏻
What rinehart slip ons with that header pipe
I believe they are just the 4.5inch touring slip on

Great video. Did you install a fuel tuner or did you already have one on the bike? If so, which tuner did you go with?
Thank you! Already had a full stage 1 flash from Harley, but will most likely be retuning with a Dynojet power vision sometime soon!
@@MotoHeadKyle thanks for the reply, Kyle! I just ordered the S&S for my 2012 SG and will be adding the DynoJet Commander 6. Wish me luck!
@@JoseGutierrez-bx5ln Awesome! Let me know how you like the commander 6

No you reuse the old ones, unless you buy a new set
Did you have to tune the bike? If yes what tuner did you use?
You should, yes. This just has a flash from Harley since it was an older bike
