Good job Gixx. Keep talking Sporties and Twin Cams and the subs will keep on coming. No hate for the M8, it's just Twin Cams and Sporties are more affordable at this point in time. Thanks to your vids (amongst some others) I'm pulling the trigger on a Sporty 72 today to sit beside the Rocker C. 👍
Congratulations on all of your subscribers!
I watch all your videos 😎
Thanks , may more prosperity come your way .
Stay safe and
Namaste
Do you know who make seat that push rider 2 to 3 inches. I'm 5'7" and I have forward control on my 2008 dyna fat bob, my feet not reaching as it should. Any suggestion???
Gixxer you are without any doubt one of the few serious Guys who actually knows what you are talking about, you have SO many interesting facts and informations that makes it true joy to watch your Videos. I am 66 myself, have been riding for 50 years so I know one or two things myself about wrenching Harleys… but your knowledge proofs it’s never too late to learn 👍🏻 Thank you Gix and keep them Videos coming 😉🛠
10 months later and you're now over 14,000 subs. Of which, I am one who appreciates the best content on RUclips for us Twin Cammers.
Congratulations and thank you.
Thank you! I appreciate it! It's been a lot of work building the video library but it's all worth it!
Gotta say man, you are salt of the earth. Love the content and your delivery method.
Keep pushin!
Thank you! I really appreciate the support!
Never thought about those plugs and wires...I'll be looking into those tomorrow! Thanks!
You're welcome, appreciate the support! They are cheap, they dress up the look and you arguably get a gain in performance.
You're right about the headlight upgrade. I did a similar upgrade on my Dyna. HUGE difference.
It was night and day, l adjusted and did everything l could with the stock light. It was basically useless at the end of the day. 3 years on the SunPi and 10k miles without any issues.
I put the screaming Eagle plug leads on my RD 350 LC .... WHAT A DIFFERENCE !!! It sounds like a Dyno now !!!!! 😲
A lot of people said I was crazy but it does make a difference!
I am glad I found your channel, you explain things that the common guy can understand and I appreciate that. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, l appreciate your support. l wanted to created a channel for things l wish l had known and had to dig for.
That's a sharp Sporty. My last before I got on a Lowrider,was a 1998 Sportster S .It was set up pretty nice from HD,dual plug heads, single fire ign.adjustable front and rear suspension,more compression,warmer cams.It really sounded nice with a Trapp and billet end cap.Blew every single bulb including headlight while playing open highway one night. Took back roads home using a brite little pocket lite. Dealer actually replaced them all and I left with a rubber FXDL.👍👋
Thank you! That Sportster S had a lot of Buell tech in it, they are still some fun bikes to ride today!
Hey fella. Good vid. Been following for a little while now. Just got an 883C 2003 Sportster. Totally love it. One thing that may be a good (sort of) upgrade is to place the mirrors under bars and swap sides. This gives a clearer view forwards, better view rear via under your arms and it costs zero.
Becoming more tuned in to this channel than most others on YT. Great dedication.
I love how excited you were at the end of this video that you had just over 2,000 subscribers and now you have over 50,000! Congratulations! I love your videos.
I've said this before but it Bears repeating it's a great Channel man I love watching it great information! Thanks.
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
All 5 were great ideas. I imagine I will do all 5 here shortly.
It's very cost effective to get it all done, I have no regrets making all those changes on my bike.
Great video! I love to hear all the little things too. Sometimes big $ items aren't in the budget.
So true! These were the things I did while I was waiting to get exhaust, air cleaner and a tuner.
Good info! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! I went on the hunt after seeing the Harley catalog prices.
Excellent video, all great suggestions, your bike looks awesome, i love that version of the 1200 Custom!
Thanks! I loved the look they went to in 2011 and I almost missed the dead line on that color, they didn't bring it back in 2017.
Thanks for the recommendations I did the SE Plugs & wires, and axle nut covers. I went with a different brand of LED headlight and turn signals, but upgraded them as well. Keep your great videos coming.
That's awesome, that really dresses the bike up quite a bit!
@@GixxerFoo It really does and it's not obnoxious
Excellent tips. Thank you!
Thanks for the upload,
I enjoy your channel because you speak the language I can understand
Just wanted to say thanks for your straightforward approach easy to listen to and to understand be blessed bro
Thank you, l hope the videos are helpful. I appreciate the support!
@@GixxerFoo anytime bro and yes your videos are very helpful and a blessing🛐🏍
Stumbled on your channel - good stuff! Thanks
Awesome, thank you! Hope the information is helpful!
Great video , lots of information
Yayyyy! Congrats!! These are great videos man, you deserve it!
Thank you! I really appreciate the support!
Keep it up,
Best information explained on youtube.
Appreciate it.
Thank you! I have plenty more coming!
Great information 👍🇺🇸
I love your bike here. This is the direction I would like to see Harley take on some of their bikes: Make the classic, unsullied Harley design more modern and in this case, "Sporty".
Good channel.
Thank you l appreciate it! I honestly couldn't say what Harley is going to do now with their new CEO. I just hope they keep that classic look, it could be done even with liquid cooling.
I liked your videos, they are very helpful for me since I don't have much knowledge on the mechanical side of these bikes. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
👍 thank you, we'll be keeping it going over here!
Great vid. Great information. Well explained. And inexpensive. Many thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
I went with E3 spark plugs. You can get’em at advance auto. $ 1.87 a piece and got better power and better mileage
E3 plugs for a $1.87?! Holy crap l thought they were like 12 each!
Thanks mate, interesting vid.
I appreciate you watching and happy to hear you enjoyed the video!
Great tips...I think I'm going to try the SE plug wires and plugs..I read a few reviews, and some people agree with you that the wires and plugs seemed to pep-up their engine.. Thanks.
My bike starts a lot faster now with the plugs and wires together on it. I did the plug wires when it was completely stock and I noticed a difference in how the bike felt, but that's just my opinion.
Love your videos. Keep up the great work. They are always informative. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching!
I got some of the red SE plug wires and I like them! My RG does seem to start up faster now. Thanks
Some people called me crazy about plugs and wires, but even my wife notice a difference on her bike when she cranked it over. After the SE plugs my bike didn't crank and pause then crank again, it cranks straight over and starts.
On the 'phat' wires; Bike most def starts easier and there's a get up and go 1st to 2nd which i have not noticed before. Looks darn neat too.
Probably my favorite channel on RUclips. Good job.
good info for low cost upgrades.
Got LED Headlight and Directionals, cant wait to install them!
That's going to make a huge difference from the stock setup!
I love your channel, it is entertaining lol
I appreciate that! Lol I try to keep it interesting!
Thank you for what your doing I've learned a lot watching your videos I believe I've watched every one of them
You are very welcome, I really appreciate the support on the channel!
You are awesome, for guys like me that are on a fixed income budget. I don't have 500.00 to throw away . But things like wires and plugs are very doable, head lights and turn signal s a great upgrade. I've done LED head light, turn signals, and taillights . Love the look, and better safety being seen.
Thank you for your service sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for taking the time to check out the videos! Amazon and Ebay are great to find affordable upgrades. Honestly the china made stuff is better than it used to be and some of it is really good these days.
Love your channel. Subbed.
Awesome, thank you!
Here it is April of '21 and you're at over 15,000 subscribers. As one of those Subs I want to thank you for your efforts..
Thank you! I really appreciate your support, the channel really grew last year!
Best thing I did for my 2017 Heritage was take a 18 inch section of old deck lid spring grind long point and poke 1/4 inch hole in each tail pipe .that got rid of the hesitation in the throttle. Not too much louder but 10 or 15% snappyer
Neat. Do you have a pic on your channel?
EXCELLENT!!! I'd like to see a video on tuners.
I did one over the two most popular flash tuners out there comparing Power Vision and FP3 ruclips.net/video/dBYZEtUGHCE/видео.html. In this video I covered some of the fuel tuners that just plug in line on the bike, much more cost effective option but not quite the performance of the flash tuners ruclips.net/video/iWSKqGxGCsg/видео.html.
Hi, just found your page and really enjoy. I have the 09 FXSTB with the 96cc. Would love to start doing more myself, sadly very new to the process and if you know of any links of how the mechanics of an engine and transmission works i think it would help. I know the basics but want to get more into it so I understand the workings and how making these upgrades and changes effect everything and yes what else needs upgrading along with it and why. Keep up the great post and thank you :)
Welcome aboard! If you get a service manual, I mean the official manual from a Harley dealer it will be the best 80 bucks ever spent. It is fully detailed with step by step instruction, right down to the tools you will need. I have never seen a service manual as good as the one from Harley.
Thanks brother!
Love your content!
Thank you! We appreciate the support and spreading the knowledge and discussion out there!
Great video, you do a great job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Congratulations! Good guy, you deserve it. 🤙
Thank you so much 😀
Great idea upgrading the wires and plugs.... on Ultra.
The wires really aren't that expensive and it dresses up the look quite nicely.
I bought the knock off led day maker off of Amazon for 48 bucks and man it’s great. Compared it with a real hd day maker and mines brighter. Very happy with it
I love moment too! Run it about 15k miles without any issues.
Another great video, keep up the good work.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Great video! I just got my 48 last month.
The 48 is one sharp handling bike, it's a night and day difference compared to my 1200 Custom!
Hi. I am Swedish and I've been looking at many of your videos. They are great. Thanks. 👍
I ve just suscribe to your channel. I loved the big bore videos they were very interresting thanks and keep doing! 👍
Hey thank you! I appreciate the support! Let me know if you have any video suggestions!
I've got a Dyna . I'm using E-3"s . They are awesome and also save fuel . Thanks .
Got yourself a bad sporty my dude!! Thanks for the video!!
Thank you, I appreciate it! Had it a while now and still loving it!
@@GixxerFoo 🤘🏽 and just wanted to tell you that I’ve learn so much thru ur videos it’s fucking awesome! Just bought my first Harley got a 2014 street bob with under 8000 miles so far so good lol but ur videos got me studying about my bike and I’m learning so much from you!! Just wanted to thank you again for these vids, having no one in my family or friends that know anything about harleys!! much appreciated for your time on these!!! 🙏🏽
One of my favorite Harley channels man! Can you do a video on braking options for the pre brembo bikes?
Great suggestion! There's quite a few options out there for brake upgrades! Those older single piston calipers were not up to the job on some of the heavier bikes.
Dude, I think you're the best from what I've searched so far. From the titling, and explaining without prolonged nick nacking.
Thank you! That means a lot to me, that's what l was going for. Straight forward and no bs

2230 subscriber in 2020 and now not even two years later you're at almost 30K... that tells you that you're good and your videos are truly interesting, been a subscriber now for about a month and let me tell you, i regularly check if you've made a new video (don't trust the notification bell, lol)... good job my friend, cheers from Italy
I appreciate that! You've been watching for quite a while and I really appreciate the support! New videos every Friday at 11am central time here in the States.
As a trained motorcycle mechanic, a proper working spark plug wire is a proper working plug wire. It makes no difference. Same goes for “high output” or “hotter” plugs. More spark is a waste. Now if your plugs aren’t firing enough to actually ignite the fuel and air mixture than that’s not good. But that’s because they’re worn out or the gap is in correct. There is no benefit to more than what works. If it’s purely aesthetic that’s fine. But please don’t spend money thinking you will get any kind of performance out of it. If any it would only be noticeable on the dyno and it wouldn’t even manifest in hp or torque. It would only manifest in ignition timing stability/consistency. As in less little misfires here and there or in other words less breakup at higher rpm. But again it’s a negligible difference. Over all though this is a good video. All good upgrades/personal changes. More light is always better. I much prefer moons MC or rouge riders lights but they are much more expensive. You get what you pay for though. So for a budget modification these lights definitely work. Again good video just some FYI from a trained professional.
Better sound with new wires to sparkplugs... ha ha ha!!!
took my '83 goldwing to the local honda shop and had it tuned up and checked over for a long ride, tuned the carbs, check the plugs and wires, tires, etc. Going over the pass (started at sea level, pass is almost 6k feet) the bike ran like garbage over the pass. I expected some loss of power but I barely made it over it was chugging hard and couldn't maintain speed. Swapped the stock plugs for some nice iridium plugs and the trip back it ran like a top, no other change. Went from chugging and low power to full power at altitude with new plugs. I know you're talking about a bike sitting in a driveway and it making a difference, I get it, but nicer plugs can help a bike run better.
Thicker plug wires equals less volt drop on the plugs. More voltage on the plugs equals better and healthier spark under compression.
Dude you seen some of the plugs/wires on new high performance stuff, even generic work type vehicles? C' Mon now. IBEW 30+ yrs 👋
There's a reason why performance shops don't use cheap factory ignition components
Thanks gixxerfoo 👍
Thank you for the support!!
Great video! So glad u didn’t say “ solo seat, suspension, pipes, tank lift, drag bars” like every other video on upgrades
Thank you! Those are really some custom touches but l wanted to get into things that were functional, simple, cheap and added some style from stock.
I've thought about a solo, my stock passenger seat is so uncomfortable my wife won't ride on my Harley 😂, but everytime I ride that same seat is sooo comfortable I'd never waste the money......suspension pipes drag bars ........ not a chance, buut I wouldn't mind a tank lift
Great vid 👍👍
Thank you, we appreciate the support over here!
I use Sunpie brand LED headlights and passing lamps exclusively. I've installed 30+ and never a problem, always great light.
I know this a couple years old, but I just have to tell you I really like your Sporty. Great content!
Alloy Art makes great LED product!
I'll have to check them out, I've been wanting to upgrade from the LED bulbs to the LED inserts.
Great video Gixx, still relevant info, it's been a few years, maybe another list of upgrades, accessories?
You know I was thinking about that myself! You found an old video from the early days... that was back in the old old shop! Really miss that shop and that shelf from years ago.
Great video! Looking for some upgrades for my 2014 nightrod. I'd appreciate the help. Thanks!
Glad I could help! My dad rides a 2012 Nightrod, we did all the lighting upgrades on his bike too!
up to 20k subs. great job man!
Thank you! I really appreciate it, it seems like yesterday was the first 100 milestone.
Great video, seen it a few times, just thought of something. What about the copper high temp anti-seize on plug threads?
Liked and subscribed. Good content
Thank you! I appreciate you watching, let me know if you have any video suggestions!
@@GixxerFoo can you compare a rigid mounted engine vs rubber mount sportsters. It can probably be combined with carb vs efi sportsters. Tips on buying a used sportster etc. I'll keep thinking of some video ideas and comment them on future videos
My 5th bike and probably my last is a 2010 Heritage. It is a stage two bike. Every part on the bike is HD. On this bike I wanted to keep it all Harley-Davidson. I even have the SE Pro tuner (orange one ). So every piece I added to the bike which is a bunch, all came from the dealers inventory. Even my slip on exhaust is stock that were modified by American Custom Exhaust. The best sound of any HD you will hear. Makes those Rinehart crap the dealers push sound like tin cans.
That pro tuner is awesome! I wish they still sold it, l would love to have one myself.
Good video though I don't have enough time to list all the upgrades I've done to my '09 electraglide classic trust me I've done many. Two of the most recent upgrades are the hogtunes bluetooth receiver and controller and LED headlight and spotlights upgrade.
That's awesome, the possibilities are endless on the Electraglide for upgrades!
Thanks

Congrats on the monetization. Nice job
Thank you! Can't wait to get out do some riding, it's been doing nothing but raining!
@@GixxerFoo here to and cold
Love the Content.. GixxerFoo, non of our 20 M8 Softails in Australia came installed with a HD Smart security Siren ,,there's a Port in front of back wheel cover / behind battery ,,I got So close but unable to Separate the Plastic Assembly to slide Siren in,,Could You Pls Consider a Install Video for Us as I live 900 km from Closest dealership but am OK working on simple Mechanical Tasks,,THANKS..
I guess only the bikes for the European market come with the siren if you get the security system. Do you plan on doing most of your own maintenance since your nearest dealer is so far away?
Way to go man
Thank you, I appreciate you watching!
Hey GixxerFoo, very informative and helpful video. Try some extra video lighting on all that chrome! It should really make it more professional. Too dark. Especially on the bike. Get 2 different lights and move them around to enhance your different views and segments. Use shadows for depth and light to enhance the chrome. Love your tips!
Thanks for the idea!
Thank you !!! Love your stuff!!! , and you seem like a good guy !!! . I hate to say this but I had a 2005 sportster 1200 , only 4000 miles and I loved it!!!! But had to sell it , I started to pee blood and turned out to be stage 4 cancer !! Fuck me !!! From the 70 chemos my balance was gone . So I couldn't even push my beautiful bike out to ride her. !!! Sold it , and broke my heart, did you ever see à grown man cry??? . And my wife says to me, why are you crying !? Ah man , I tell you !!!! . Almost went to jail that day !!!! Lol. But you have a good channel brother !!!!! . Please keep it up !!! Lol. Terry, from South Philly.
Thank you I appreciate the support! Selling a bike like that is tough, hope you're doing much better now though! 2005 was a really good year for the Sportster, they still had the carbs and they had the good heads on them.
That shelf in the background needs a little support 😎. Good video and nice bike.
Thank you! Lol l have a replacement but it's just kinda become a conversation piece 😆😂
Thats so great that you and your wife can enjoy riding your bikes together It is wise to focus on good spark plug wires and spark plugs I take this very seriously on any of my vehicles. Crank your engine over and make sure you are getting a BLUE spark. Many people are operating engines on a red spark and a red spark will run an engine, but until you have a blue spark your ignition is not right You can get a good blue spark at your plug wire coming from your coil, but does it reduce to red at the spark plug electrodes. Thats why you test the spar plug of your choice for blue spark while cranking your engine over. Also for you bikers that ride at night that led headlight may be a good investment
That's very true, and it is something that is too often overlooked!
@@GixxerFooI checed out the price for screaming eagle wires and spark plugs on eaby and found them to be reasonably priced. I may buy these for y harleys when I need them in the future. And yes, a blue spar at the plug electrodes being checked is something I have never seen any popular harley tech video even check or mention, but many times it will be claimed the carburetor is too rich, when in reality a weaker red spark will leave behind unburned fuel and cause a plug to be black. Too many adjustments are made without considering all factors
You really know your stuff, the core of the wire may be the same as stock but the thicker insulation results in less loss to the plug! SE plug wires really aren't that expensive of an upgrade. I think l paid 30 bucks for a set at the dealer. Locally owned and good people there.
@@GixxerFooOh yes, quality does matter very much. Many of your lesser plug wires actually jump spark to metal areas. Heres something that will make you laugh It was in 1972 I owned a 64 ford galaxy with a 352 V8 and it ran good, but one night I had it running to check something and in the dark ot looked like one hundred flickering christmas lights. Those eight wires were jumping spark from the distributor all the way to the plugs and I never knew this. Sometimes you have to spend some more money to get good things, and you have to decipher because sometimes many things are priced higher when they are worse. Heres another thing most arent aware of and mechanics of today arent even taught this. You have your cold version and hot plug version for any and all gasoline engines The fatter electrode is the cold plug intended for longer driving and riding and trips as to where the hot very has the smaller electrodes for local and for vehicles only used for local operation. A well known harley evo owner that him and his wife travel expained to me his spark plug electrodes would be white and fail on long trips. He showed a picture of these in his video. I informed hi he was using a hot plug and looked up the HD cold plug for the evo harleys with fatter electrodes for longer distance operation. This also is never mentioned in all these tech videos.
@@GixxerFoo This does not apply to the subject matter at hand, but because I lie you as a person I wanted to let you now my plan for my next video. It is to explain how that the twin cam from 1999 up until the M8 is better as for as longevity and in strength from any earlier harley engine pertaining to the crank pin which is pressed into the flywheel and the shafts which are pressed in is stronger and fool proof and that SS and all of there claims is absolute LIES I have to mentally be in where I can best explain chronological order and not be busy and be relaxed
👍✊💪good stuff bro
I appreciate it!
Thank you for this. I have looked all over the place and cannot find a video instructions on how to UNINSTALL mirrors on 2018 Harley Davidson Forty eight. Thanks in advance
Thanks for watching! Removing the mirrors is pretty easy, it's just one bolt and they come right off.
@@GixxerFoo I could not figure out how to.
YOU ROCK VERY SMART,, TAKE CARE BRO,,,,,
Congrats on the monetization well deserved.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Thank you
Anytime! Thank you for supporting the channel!
ORDERED EAD LAMP FOR MY LOW RIDER. THANKS.
You won't regret it, they are awesome!
I love your videos man. Could you do a video comparing the spark plugs that are stock compared to the Screaming Eagle ones?
That's not a bad idea at all!!
Also aux light to mount under the triple tree. Works great. Super bright eBay head light, pro beam turns, and the aux light and i can see the future
Good to know! There's a lot to be said about the inexpensive LED lights, they really work great!
There’s a couple different version I’d like to try out when I have more time and money. If I do a video I’ll send it over to you. But the 40 dollar eBay light is great. The probeams are awesome. I’d really like to try some more stuff from rogue riders industries
I have the sun pie on both my bikes.. Great light for the price..
I have been enjoying your videos for well over a year, I like the fact the you are aware that a Sportster is not a Girls Bike, I am getting old now, I got first Panhead in 1973, I was 17 years, back then Sportsters were the first choice for the serious rider or serious Club Member, Full Dressers were often called Garbage Wagons, they were slow and did not handle nearly as well as a Sporty, and What a Glorious sound, I appreciate your videos on newer engines and models too, Good ending to your video, you were at 2,200 Subs. Now more than 50,000 Subs and monetized, Good for You.
On your front turn signals, did you have to install a resistor for proper functionality? Also, do you recall if you bought the regular model, or the "switchback" model? Love the look and the bright day time running lamp option too. Great upgrade.
No I just put the led bulbs in, it registers a low voltage like the bulb is out if you run the codes. But it doesn't trigger a CEL, turn signal indicator on the dash will flash indicating like the bulb is out but otherwise everything functions as normal.
@@GixxerFoo Oh ok. I appreciate your response. Nice bike, btw. Be safe!
How about a video on how you raised the tank and routed the spark plug wires maybe? Just a thought.
Not a bad idea, it was really easy actually. Just loosened the front mount, removed the rear and supported it with a small block of wood. It gives you plenty of access to fish your old wires out while following through with the new wires.
Yo its shane on his wife's phone! Lol anyway bro another good show! Ill tell you bro one of the best upgrades i made on my bike an i gave you a run down a couple months ago, i been workin on it for 3yrs. Owning a bike your just never done brother! But the dynatec DSPT tunable ignition! It just made all my upgrades work together. But good show for someone just getting a bike. Dont be scared yall start turning then wrenches! You'll get addicted! 🤙🤙🤙
Oh yeah if you have a carved bike you can't beat Dynatech! Got a friend with an Evo Big twin, best upgrade he ever did to that bike!
This is my first time own this channel. I like it. I will be back
Thank you! I really appreciate the support!
That’s a damn nice bike you’ve got! If my money tree ever becomes fruitful, I’d like to get a Dyna Wide Glide.
The Wide Glides are awesome bikes, any particular year you're interested in? They've made the Wide Glide for a long time.
