I have the Hammer 1275 with a Mikuni 42 on my '96 883 Low. I did the kit myself with my own headwork and cams. I think all said and done it was about $1350 for the kit with Dynatek ignition plus $300ish for the Mikuni and jet kit to tune it. It was worth every penny. Bike pulls incredibly hard even riding 2 up. Has no problem picking up 5th gear at low speed all the way to 100+ mph.

Great video my friend. I enjoyed it very much, especially the wild photography at the end. I can't figure out how you did it but that was fantastic.

I think any upgrade is good, these motorcycles are a great hobby and there’s no end, I’ve been racing and riding since I was 8 and I’m a retired Harley-Davidson mechanic for Washington DC presidential motors and still ride and have been buying,changing things on my motorcycles still to this day so I think you did a great thing

Its a perfect upgrade to the 883,and helps keep insurance cost down as well in certain areas

Appreciate the videos brother getting more and more knowledge from the man who knows even though I’m 3 years late. Been researching more and more. I don’t know if it’s because of inflation or what but the hammer kit has jumped 2x the price at $1,690 😮😮😮. The only one I saw that is near the price you paid was the S&S Cycle 1250 kit. Do you know anyone or anything about these? Do you still recommend Hammer in retrospect after not having the 883 anymore or another brand like S&S or H-D (they have the screaming eagle 1200 kit I saw)? Thanks brother.

I was researching hammer performance, they are absolutely amazing products! Very solid and prices are fairly cheap!!!! Comparing to Harley dealer ship of course! Thanks for sharing bad ass hog too!!!!

Good production! Also, if you truly want to protect the investment and do right by the engine, this is what you do in regards to proper break-in protocol on a new engine or big bore: 10-40 Amsoil for heat cycling, absolutely no idling- ten cycles, then change oil! 20-50 for break-in, 50 miles - NO MORE - then change oil! 20-50 for 50-400 miles, then change oil! 20-50 for 400-1000 miles, then change oil! Redline 20-50 or 20-60 or Amsoil 15-60 for after the above 1000 mile oil change. From southern California - Ride Forever!

Cool video filming!!

The stock 883 heads worked with the 1250 kit. I thought they wouldnt work from what I read online? Was that price including any cams or clutch spring tuner install and flash. Just wondering

My Iron883 pretty mich stock right now. I just have an amazon slip-ons added for the loud noise. If I wanted to convert it to 1275, Do I need to buy a better exhaust and also air intake? Thank you

What are the pros & cons of picking the 1250 over the 1275? Is one more Street able than the other or is it just a price point decision

I have also only been riding for about a year. Alittle under too be honest. So Ive got no great words of wisdom on it. If you like it cool. I know I have not let a month go by where i havent changed omodified my bike somehow. and Im sure ill always adjust any bike i get to be more comfortable and or more fun. I would encourage you to give a try doing some of the mods yourself. Thanks for the vid.

I've been thinking about that 1250 kit since I bought my Sporty back. I still have my Powervision tuner 😎👍

Is there a big price difference between the 1250 and the 1275 kits?

Do i need to do anything to my stock 883 before i do the 1250 kit

I got the S&S 1250 hooligan Cam kit stage 4 and there isn't much that touches it out the gate. Eating crotchrockets out the gate

Hey man I had some questions: 1. Where’d you get the sissy bar. It’s sick. 2. Why did you go with the 1250 kit as opposed to the 1275? 3. Did you say you were in the Poughkeepsie area? I am in Jersey and have had the same issue getting some pricing for the install. Hopefully I’ll hear back from you. Greta video and ride safe !

Does the 1250/1275 kit keep it from SCREAMING at highway speeds??? My 883 in 5th gear is loud af on the highway.

I’m also in the Baltimore/DC area.. can you share the mechanic that did you install?

Fuel pak is already on my bike....gonna leave it on.

I’m on the fence to do this to my 2003 883. Drop $2k into a bike worth $2k. I just moved to Colorado and the 883 can’t handle the hills.

Did the price on the kit go up? Its like $1800 now

I already have a 1200 kit on it. Would it be worth to get the 1250?

We take what you say with a Gram of GOLD

What cowl is that

1275 kit with ring gap 1100$ install time including disassembly 4hrs.

check out the buell super cruiser too

Is it fast?

Let’s also talk about another helmet. 😂

Another YABOB (Yet Another Blacked Out Bike) and a YABOT (Yet Another Blacked Out Truck) Are you CRAZY?? You spent more upgrading an 883 to a 1200 than it would have cost to just buy a 1200. Plus you would have gotten real 1200 gearing, and the resale value would be SUBSTANTIALY more. I would actually pay more for a stock 883 than for a highly modified 883/1200/1250 whatever. You never know whether the job was done right or not. Oh, and by using the 1250 kit with stock 883 heads, you also raised the static compression ratio, making it mandatory to use premium fuel. The next owner may not like that. And will the 883 engine be a reliable and long lasting with the 1275 kit as it was stock? Something I would want to know if I was buying a modified used bike. I think you just shot yourself in the foot. You spent $2K to lower the resale value of a perfectly good bike.

The basic kit from hammer is 1,700. I don’t know what deal you got but you did.
