Sportster 48 Vance and Hines Staggered Shortshots and Nightster Peanut Tank

Here is my 2010 Sportster 48 XL1200X... I decided to share a video of my bike given that I often times search youtube for various information regarding mods and such. So if you find this video interesting or helpful... very cool. Any questions or comments... or mod ideas... bring them on.

666Serpico... Congrats on the new 48... its a great bike! If you just put the pipes on the bike will run just fine. I had these pipes on pre~heavy breather with no problems... and I put aftermarket pipes on 2 Buells and multiple dirtbikes with zero problems. Having said that... if you change the intake (breather) you may have to get the Stage 1 Heavy Breather download remap. For HD to put on my Heavy Breather AND do the download it cost me $600... seems like your dealer is being honest with you

Thanks guys... appreciated. I wish I would have made a much clearer video but unfortunately I will not be able to. I had to trade this bike in on a truck... I still have my Buell and Super Moto but I sure miss this thing.

Hey ConfederateGypsy... I think it handles great. I have had it up to 90 mph a few times and it handled just fine. No wobbly\squirrellyness\etc. My Buell XB12S gets puckerish at 120 and my WR250 at 80mph so I definitely know what squirrely is. None of that in the 48... especially at 70mph. My biggest issue with the 48 is the poor brake performance compared to my other bikes. The brakes have led to quite a few pucker moments... BUT... they do the job... just not as good as others.

israfales85... thanks!

pafaloelcy... thanks... the intake is the HD Screaming Eagle Heavy Breather intake.

dlat88... indeed! I just posted vids of my 08 Buell XB12S and Yamaha WR250X... having a stable of bikes can lead to a sickness of sorts but you only go around once so... whenever possible the more bikes experienced the better

charger1961... right on and thanks!

Thanks all...

xskater... I got the seat from the dealer... it was a take off. They put it on since I was there but yes... I took it off and on a bunch of time to switch it out with a Reach seat. Very easy to put on... take you about 1~2 minutes max.

MrRedocean... I'm 5'7"

Thanks!

That bike comes pretty close to what I think a Sportster should look like. Nice one!

@gene1221 Hey. Is that the Iron seat or the one from the Super Low?

Very cool bike!

Anyone else notice how dark it gets in like 3 minutes?

Good one!!! Hopefully someone from H.D. will see this clip and this will become their 2013 Forty Eight.I would buy a 48 tomorrow if it had a fuel tank with a realistic capacity.Once again,nice bike mate.

@tyroc86 thanx a lot

[yogibighouse]

awersome bike mate but can you do a daytime video

[tyroc86]

@666Serpico i think they just want the money, because from what I understand as long as you aren't planning on using your bike strictly at the track, all you really need to do is get something like the se super tuner to reprogram the ecm(although that's kind of pricey itself, but still cheaper than the dyno) hope that helps!
