10 Parts You Didn't Know You Needed
1. Figurati Magnetic Dipstick
Yes, this thing looks good. And it's available in all the colors to match your custom or performance look. But it also works hard 24/7 to trap and keep harmful metals from floating around in your engine’s oil, prolonging your engine’s life. We use these things on everything.
2. Two Wheel Tactical Molle Panels
These things really keep your shit together. Made specifically for H-D saddlebags, these panels allow you to affix different tool and gear bags, first aid kits, and personal protection to the inside of your saddlebags using the tried-and-true molle system.
3. Wera Koloss Hammer Ratchet Tool
Yes, it's both a hammer and a ratchet. And we thought it was dumb too until we started using it on the regular. Times when we were adjusting the rear wheel or uninstalling a swingarm had us reaching time and time again for the big baby Jesus known as Koloss.
4. HardDrive V-Twin Service Covers
This is one of those things that you don't want to own until it's too late. Ask us how we know. Many of our personal and project bikes have multi-thousand-dollar paint jobs, and when greasy fingers meet slick tools, it usually ends up in a scratch-and-dent nightmare. The Tank Service Cover is designed to appropriately fit the newer model-shaped gas tanks, up to six gallons, with raised dash panels. The Front Fender Service Cover is designed for new models with a variety of narrow to wide fenders.
5. SP Connect Phone Case Setup
There are a ton of different ways to keep your phone protected and attached to your bike, and trust us, we have tried them all. We have found the SP stuff to be both good-looking and easy to use, and it is one of the most secure locking systems we have ever tried. Plus, there is a wide range of battery chargers, photography aids, and car and truck options so you can take the same case for two rio for wheels shout any hassle.
6. Scorpion Carbon Covert FX Helmet
Just like the saying "loud pipes save lives," so do full-face helmets. Actually better. But we know that wearing a protective helmet can leave your head and neck wanting a rest. Well kids, the lightweight and ultra-protective carbon fiber Cover FX helmet weighs a lot less than your fiberglass skid lid, meaning that once you pull it over your melon, it virtually feels like it's not there. In short, lighter helmets let you log longer miles. Maybe that should be a sticker?
7. Trask Power Plate
Designed as a bolt-on solution, it is engineered to extract the maximum potential from your Big Twin and M8 slipper clutches up to an impressive 200 HP. This is achieved through the application of over 300lbs of pressure to the clutch pack, compared to the stock 198lbs. Trust us, folks, this thing works.
8. Alloy Art Spreading Eagle Tension Reliever
If you are running an extreme angle on your swingarm with tall-ass shocks without a tensioner, you are doing it all wrong. With this gem you will get no more chain or belt slap on downshifting, and it allows for full swing arm travel with zero binding from the chain or belt.
9. Odin “Heavy Hitter” Gloves
Yeah, we know you probably have gloves, but they have to be worn out and stinky. Get yourself a new set of these gloves, and you will go apeshit on how well these gloves fit and protect your hands. These gloves also feature the flip-tip fingers, which come in useful for everything from helmet D-rings and phone screens to pin codes at the gas pump.
10. Speed Dealer M8 Softail Swing arm
This USA-crafted work of non-ferrous beauty is the perfect replacement for your lame and heavy stock steel mono-shock swing arm. Weighing in at 15 lbs, this thing is both stiff and light, and one of the standouts of the swinger is that you can upgrade the crappy OEM rear brake to something way more powerful.
