Default Hammer 1275 kit

Is it worth the expense? I'd like to go with it if it's worth it. Don't mind spending money on my bike! Thoughts and experiences welcomed! Thanks!

go for it. can't go wrong with 1275. couldn't go wrong with a se 1200. Dan gives you better quality pistons and great displacement

Totally worth it! Although i have the older 1250 kit i can say that the increased power with stock gearing is awesome. Just follow the instructions and go slow. Lots of info on here and on Hammers site to reference, hd manual is super helpful for torque specs, etc

The Hammer 1275 kit recently replaced their 1250 kit. To read more about members' experiences plus build threads, simply use Search for '1250' in this Sportster section. I don't think I've seen a bad word said against them!

Hammer 1275! Do it! Maybe toss a set of their cams in too! Top it off with some headwork! ��

Almost a shame to put it on a bike and get it dirty.....

That jug does look nice, but just aware that madnss got a 'special' on
his jugs, the normal color is the wringle black (or silver) to match
the stock components...

It only takes an email or phone call to see if you can have the same finish. Those glossy jugs look awesome! Who knows, may become a standard option at Hammer soon?

Do it ! You won't regret it. I got the flat black fins with polished (shiney) edges. Quality stuff. I got the kit with the pistons in the bores, so the rings were already gapped, etc. The difference is quite noticeable. (my sig photo is before the Hammer)
