HARLEY SPORTSTER BIKE BUILD | MOTO VLOG 1

What happens here

The motorcycle features forward controls, which were pre-installed when the bike was acquired, and the creator expresses a desire to replace them due to their perceived cheapness. A 'wire tuck' was performed to hide the plastic pieces and exposed wiring, routing them neatly underneath the gas tank. This required installing a 2-inch tank riser to create space. Additionally, a coil relocation kit (sourced from Amazon) and an ignition relocation were performed, moving these components to a more aesthetically pleasing position. An aftermarket air filter was also installed, which is noted to improve engine breathing.

Goal: Streamline the engine and electrical components for a cleaner look and improved airflow.

Tools and materials

  • 2-inch Tank Riser — Lifting the gas tank to create space for wire tuck
  • Aftermarket Air Filter — Improving engine airflow and performance
  • Coil Relocation Kit — Moving the ignition coil to a different position
  • Forward Controls — Foot controls (pre-installed, planning to replace)
  • Spark Plugs — Engine ignition, mentioned as good quality
