looking to purchase a 1250 hammer kit for my 05 sporty. Have a few questions.
On a scale of 1 to 10 how hard is it to put the kit on yourself?
After the kits on i saw that you would need to tune your bike? Mine is carbed not sure how I would go about tuning it.
Any tips would also be helpful.
it was an easy straight forward installialso chose to install hammers adjustable pushrods and a slew of other performance parts ! Alex over at hammer is a great dude so much so when ever I have to call we shoot the **** on parts development and stuff that dosnt even involve my sporty build ! Best customer service hands down ! I ended up installing 1250 kit on my 98 but the only 1200 heads available at the time were brand new take off efi heads off a 2016 1200 and this created an issue due to my S&S carb and manifold length being to short . Despite my best efforts the s&S manifold would only stay sealed for a short time eventually shifting creating leaks so I litteraly just received hammers custom mikuni hsr42 efi manifold which is not only wider for a correct fit when running newer style EFI heads but also designed from the ground up for better flow and performance . I didn’t purchased the new mikuni from hammer due to the $100 price difference that I picked up on eBay that also arrived today so hopefully I can find the time to get all that installed this week . To anyone interested Im selling a completely rebuilt and upgraded S&S shorty E carb with a 2” yost spacer the bottom and mid range punch is ridiculous due to that spacer ! If you need any help with install PM me and I can walk you through it ! at the time I did the kit I also completely re-wired the bike from ground up using the moto gadget M-unit So no fuses or relays and I also did a lot of trick wiring mods with lots of pics so anything you might be having issues with there a good chance I have clear pics for reference . Call and speak with Alex he will gladly tell you what you need and what to expect without pushing you into pointless purchases beyond what your looking for . Good luck !
