Beautiful bike, Joe. Thanks for letting Matt ride and share with us.

I'm more of a power cruiser guy over this sportster look but DANG that thing looks and sounds MEAN! Great lines.

I can't put into words, what this video did for me. I had an 883 Iron, traded for a bigger bike (Dyna), and then got rid of it because of a family tragedy. I'm getting a Sportster again. No discussion or debate about it. It is great to know that I can start out with an 883 again and get it up to a 1200 with the added performance. Great camera work, great riding, great everything! Subscribed and Notified.

I've been trying to find a good video about a stage 4 883. Awesome video man keep up the good work

Another amazing sounding bike and great looking bike. Thanks for showing us another great bike Matt. Kudos to Joe on his bike. It looks great.

Matt, the way you opened up this video with the sound of that baby ripping down the road was ultra cool ! Anyone who blows off Sportsters as not bad ass needs to see this video.

That is bad ass! I love it. Tell your friend he has a good eye. - I just ordered the cams for my stage 2. - Cant wait!

That thing is gorgeous! Also love the overlap on those cams!

Awesome bike, thanks for sharing Matt.

It seems like lately I’ve been seeing more Sportys getting turned into beasts! It’s good to see the Sporty get the love it so richly deserves. Matt, what gloves are those?

Matt great video man and great bike. The 883 is so growing on me! They are so customizable. Gonna definitely get one. Cheers!

Love the sound, it looks like a blast to ride.

Sound is incredible.

The Sportster s are big over in UK. They have done some really sick builds with them. There is a movement in the States & Europe called Sportster Sickness. I want a customized 48 in my stable!!!! Man that exhaust sounds great!!!!

Love this Bike. Thanks for sharing.

What mic do you use to record the sound on your go pro footage, sounds fantastic!

Way to go, Joe! You did it your way, cool ride!!!

kick ass vid and kick ass bike. I like the vids of the higher end performance builds. That's just the direction I'm going with my FXDLS so anything performance upgrade wise really gives me ideas and inspiration. Thats a mean sportster in this vid. I like it. Could definitely hurt some people pride in a race or in the canyons.

Sounds like my 1340 Shovel with LAF pipes. Love that bike!

Dude I really appreciate the video I am myself have a 2014 883 iron and I can tell by the way your writing and your bigger guy that bike gets up and goes. So for the price and the bang for the buck that might be something I may look into to get me by for a few more years until I can get myself a street glide. Thanks again Matt for the video

Such a great video. i upgraded my 2014 883 just like that one. it is incredible. then i had friends that said you will never get your money back. i said - i don't plan on ever selling lol. it is so much more fun to ride then my 2018 114 Heritage. strange i know. the weight is actually about 150 less. my m8 heritage is 728 and the 883 about 564. i have to hang on when on that sportster. from 0 - 60 i can take most HD. the gearing on the 883 is so different than the 1200 series. i like it that way though. a rough ride though but you know that if you have a sportster. i actually bought another sportster 2014 the 48 and i love the 883 so much better. great video. i think i made the right choice on the upgrade. just a fun bike.

I had an 09 Iron 883 that was coverted to a 1275 Hammer Performance kit. The 883 has lower gears than the 1200 bikes. These bikes are extremely fun punched out and they haul ass for any reasonable street riding you want to do. 😁 from 30mph to 100mph is where all the fun happens. This bike sounds amazing. Love it !! Great video.

Had an old Shovelhead Sportster back in the day chop that thing out even took the turn signals off coolest bike a little hot rod thanks for the video take care of Matt

Enjoyed very much of this mean bike!

That thing sounds awesome! I just bought my first Harley Sportster and looking for ideas. Awesome video

Love the bike. It’s its own thing and bare /raw 👍🏼. Close to Harley’s roots.

Great job. I like that bike. Thanks Matt.

Thanks For The Honest Review,I appreciate It.

One sweet looking bike. Love that chopped rear fender.

Sounds amazing.

Love this bike. Sounds just like my 2005 1200C with V&H exhaust. These Sportsters really rip. Big difference between this and my 05 is the carb, which today is something pretty special to me :-)

Great review Matt

Good looking bike, sounds good. Nice rip around.

Matt, you showcase the CLEANEST West Coast HD Whips! MUCH RESPECT from the East Coast Brother!⚔️☠️⚔️

Looking and sounding good! He should be very happy how it turned out. Enjoyed the video and thanks for the distraction. I was t-boned by a unlicensed driver yesterday and probably going to lose my bike. Be blessed.

rippin power, rad looking motorcycle😏🏍

I bought the Hammer Performance 1275 kit plus the 1200 thunderheads with the smash porting,now I’m just waiting for good weather for the tuning.I do love my 883 Sportster !

Just bought a 2021 1200 Iron. This bike really makes me wanna make some changes from the stock look. LOVE THE CHOPPED FENDER.

`love the performance setups on this and other similar bikes. my only concern is how is the braking?

Thanks for another great video! Man, I can’t wait to start adding stuff to my new softail slim. Trying to decide between stage 3 or 4... 🤔

If you don't mind saying what is the difference between stage 3and stage 4 does the stage three have more low end torque .

@MattLaidlaw

5 жыл бұрын

watch some of my other screamin eagle videos. I explain this in detail. Basically, the stage 3 has a similar power band to a stock bike. The torque comes on early. It really doesn't benefit you much to rev the bike out real far. Above about 4,500 RPM doesn't make a whole lot of sense. So you're shifting earlier. The stage 4 is basically a higher revving cam profile. You're not accessing the good power till after 4,000 RPM and the horse power keeps climbing till red light. If you're a guy who like to rip the throttle and down shift frequently to make a pass etc then the 4 might be your jam. I have found most harley riders who just want more power are usually best off with a stage 3

Friggin crazy, I literally thought "why doesn't he make a video about a stage 4 sportster" (10 seconds later phone lights up)

Haha glad I could deliver What you're looking for.

If you go hammer performance you can get anywhere from depending on how much you want to spend, 80hp to 130hp and I am guessing it is still around the same price or even cheaper than a stage 4 on this.

Hey Matt! nice video. I got a question, I got a 2015 Harley 48 and I was wondering what would be the safe rpm on this bike?

With those cams and pipes it sound so sweet.

Cool build, snagged a new leftover 2020 1200 iron. Would be interesting to know what that build puts out with a two brothers or bassani 2:1.

Man Thanks for the ride!" 👊💨

sounds awsome

That is a great looking bike. Just wondering how hard it is to see the speedo after relocating it. Maybe it was just the video, but it looks like the controls on the bars needed to roll forward a bit. I also think the mirrors would look better mounted below.

Yes, the speedo was less convenient to see "on the fly" but it wasn't too bad if you wanted to glance at it real quick.

That is the most evil sportster I’ve ever seen! Badass!

That’s a beast man ... nice

I have a 883 and 1200 and always wanted to see the 883 with upgrades. I think some power is still left on the table for that bike w different tunes, but that's from watching and not riding it so there's that. Curious to see a chain conversion with different sprockets as well so if that's in the future I'll be 👀

matt can u please share which pipes these are? thank you

Hi Matt, I'm thinking of picking up a sporty for every day in town bike. Can you tell me approximately what a stage 4 kit costs, installed? The style of this build isn't for me, to each his own, but that engine is right up my alley so to speak. Very nice. thanks a be safe.

@MattLaidlaw

5 жыл бұрын

I talk about this a little in the video. The stage 4 installed is about 4,000 give or take depending on your intake and exhaust choice. The stage 4 doesn't technically include those items but you gotta have them so I usually include them into the price. Again, this is a ball park with labor and taxes included. That's everything.

i have a 2019 iron 883 denim gray

great looking 883

In love! 🖤

in terms of riding performance (weight to power ratio, acceleration, braking...) would you rather ride a stage 4 sportster or a stage 4 softail?

Cool machine.

Still one of the best Iron 883 builds I’ve ever seen. I’m inspired to get this look.

What is the brand/model (name) of the helmet you are wearing? Same for your white gloves?

Any suggestion for a decent 48 exhaust?

That thing is so sick. I’ve had my 2020 iron 1200 for over a year now and I’m currently itching to start changing things up on it. (Bars, exhaust, short fender, etc.). Shooting for something like this. If you can find out where your buddy got those bars from that’d be sweet!
