Thank you. It’s very hard to do that in a day. I’ve had the bike for a year at this point.

It is very fun ! Fast and comfortable.

No worries bro I get it. I’m open to all thoughts 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️. I still like it

@@dentistrey5323I do this just happens to be a video so the bike was on and running before what ever clip that was.

Honestly I would call those minor, minus the starter clutch. There is something out on it. But 22+ does not have this issue just 21. Everything else is basic. I doubt the lifters will fail that soon I just know it’ll happen eventually. There are plenty of pan Americas now with 50k+ miles and haven’t had an issue yet. Haven’t seen sportsters with that many miles so I don’t think it’ll be too big a deal over long term. Only reason I have the back seat is because the factory cover doesnt fit with the mud guard 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️. If you notice I don’t have passenger pegs anymore lol

@@ancienttsar no man thank you !!!

Thank you man More to Come !!

Never tired that. I’ll give it a try for sure !!

Thank you man I appreciate it a lot ! I have a lot more coming ! Found a connect at Indian. So I’ll have access to a few. First bike I’m doing is a scout and sportster comparison !

@@NostalgicMotorcycles ~ I’ll watch and comment. Best of luck

You’re a champion bro I appreciate it !

It’s a completely different bike. The nightster is the updated sporty for sure. Not this. However my legs don’t feel temperature apparently lol.

Yessir it’s an awesome bike man for sure. It’s fast. Not the best for the long haul but I’ve don’t a 4 hour day on it

Thank you bro ! And ya you’re exactly right ! Passenger heat shield melted. But honeslty I’m just waiting to get a full exhaust.

Ya not sure its much of a hack lmao. More like desperation of ohhhh noooooo. Its just happened so many times now that its just a part of the process.

How do you like your nightster?

Not sure about this guy but my Sporster is awesome man. Is the nights yet had a 1250t engine I would have gotten that for sure.

@@NostalgicMotorcycles I’m pretty sure the nightster is 950. Yea it’s night I just love the sportster look. You should see mine. Wish I can share a pic. Only thing I’m debating is to upgrade the pipes for a meaner sound.

Do you have a SS or nightster ?

Awesome to hear that fixed your issue I’m touching 10k any day now ! And yes do it you will be surprised. It doesn’t not stress me out to see it run out of fuel but I know when it’s in red that’s it’s not the end of the world. Still freaks me out.

Lmfaoo ya that’s true. People are dumb sometimes lol. I fill up at 1/4 tank always but that makes sense.

First year bike lol. So it’s been 3 years. And I rent it lmao. Also thank you thank you.

I live in near northern Canada and I ride 8 months of the year. I am used to putting on 10k miles per year. If you live in Florida, Man! No fucking excuse.

Lmfao your right no excuse but I have more than 1 bikes don’t mileage is spread over different bikes 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

@@NostalgicMotorcycles I did a 9 month contract at TECO in Tampa in 1998-1999. I imported my Harley from Canada back into the US. I was the only one riding in ur winter with a tshirt and vest. The morning fog condensed on the mirrors and soaked my arms, and every 5pm was a race home b4 the thunderstorms let loose. At least the rain is warm in Florida. In Canada, rain is freezing and hard.

Bro that is glorious but sadly when you live in Florida you aclimate. The same way you have to the cold. If you lived here for 2-3 years that goes away. I’m from Boston originally and that was the case when I first moved but it really does go away 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️. Wish I was lying.

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ dammit man. And I agree the tank is not the greatest for sure !

Never heard of it I’ll give it try for sure !

I’ll be able to ride it for sure. Should be able to !

Lmao glad you love your bike bro those old 1200s are fun for sure. And i appreciate the oldies. Far less issues for sure !

@@NostalgicMotorcycles I like your bike, too, 150hp, cmon. I still have mine after all these years. Do you hope to keep yours? If so, you better buy 4 wrecks so you have parts. I can still get parts for mine, but I fear you can't get parts. Your vids are top notch and I subbed.

Hey hey. Thank you !!! And I do plan to keep this bike. It’s new so there are still parts for many years to come. In 20 years no clue but I know they still make it so at least 5-10 there will be parts

Ya I agree all the other sportsters I have ridden did not have any of this. But really this bike is not a sportster. They called it that to satisfy customers, I guess. In the same way ford built a mustang SUV. you call it what you want but that it is not lol. This bike with a different name would be perfect and leave the sportster name for the nightster which is obviously a new version of the same bike. I know this is not that but I didn't pick the name.

I wish that solely was the case. Most bikes have higher compression lmfao. Sport bikes specifically. They have close to 13. This is low 12s

All hydraulic lifters have a tendency to fail. Just a design thing. I know there are 50-80,000 mile pan am with no issues.

Negative sir but Im from jax for sure lol

@@NostalgicMotorcycles thinking about getting a bike but you and I both know Jacksonville drivers are sketchy af. Do you think its worth it?

Lmfaoo I have a bike and have been riding for 7 years bro. I have no issues with it at all. Not saying I haven’t had close calls but I can honestly say not riding out of your comfort zone and being comfortable while riding eliminates most of the problems. Most. Accidents don’t have camera footage and I hate to say this but I personally think it has more to do with rider carelessness than driver carelessness. Drivers are careless. Always. Texting driving etc. but when the rider also gets careless that’s when bad things happen. An active rider with a careless driver stays alive. Most of the time. Not 100% I know it’s the word accident but I from the bottom of my heart believe riders are to blame in most situations. If the drivers are to blame us as riders can’t do anything. If the rider takes responsibility now you can take action to ride safer. Just my 2cents. But at this point I have time in the saddle and am not scared to ride on anything in most any situation.

@@NostalgicMotorcycles Thanks bro! You def earned a sub for life!

Hell ya my guy ! Thank you ! I’ll see you out for sure hit me up on IG (same name) we can get out and ride if you go that route !

Haha some dealers are a hassle. Harley co will not go out of business. I can see dealers doing out of business. And Harley along with all manufacturers selling direct to consumer. It’ll save 3-5k per bike by cutting out the dealer. The company makes $3,500 per bike at msrp every cent over msrp is all dealer fees

Thank you, Martin, its crazy to me to see these videos making it that far ! But this bike has a sun downer seat which is a lot softer than the OEM seat. Also, I did soften the suspension in the back a lot and keeping a straight spine helps as well. It's not as comfortable as my magna for sure, but I don't think it's that bad.

Hahaha, i hear ya, the sundowner seat by harley is a bit better, corbyn seats do a comfy lookkin seat but i cant spend the bucks without sitting on one..

It’s a good seat(sundowner) it’s still thin but it’s soft and supple yet firm to where it’s not overly squishy. Like a gel. Corbin has a lot more padding to it. It’s a lot thicker.

Lmfao why do you say that ? Fuel level sensors have not changed since the 90s they work exactly the same.

Lmfao ya bro a whole person out here living life !

@@NostalgicMotorcycles love it man, keep up the great content! I’m hoping both our channels continue to grow!

Keep doing the work bro, it’ll happen !

I 100% agree this deserves another name lol. Not sure I can say it’s not a real riding bike. I really ride it all the time lmao. It’s not a distance bike but the small cruisers are usually not distance bikes regardless of

@@NostalgicMotorcycles Its like a streetfighter. Fun to rip around on, but not cross country.

100%. I have actually taken it about 250 miles though. My neck was beat up lol. Bike was fine I was stiff lol

@@NostalgicMotorcycles I used to ride a v-rod. I could do 3 - 4 hours on it.

@@jacklowe9017 Very different bike. This bike has a taller seat lower bars. fatter tires. Its not the same. They both have awesome powerful twins but that's about it lol.

Interesting. They do charge a premium and Harley tax is a thing for sure. I don’t agree that it’s a poor design. I love the bike !

I did replace mine when it died. This battery is currently maybe a month old.

@@NostalgicMotorcycles yeah but every time you are within 5 feet from the bike that fob it activates. Im putting a switch on mine, maybe that would save more battery.

Yes that doesn’t help but I’m also sure it has a small drain. It has to.

Go to Batteries plus and buy the LIFETIME Battery replacement for your HD FOB. so every 3 months get a new battery replacement for FREEEEEEE.

Didn’t even know that was a thing that’s awesome.
