For professionals.
The ECM connector is used since the early days of fuel injection and is now found on motorcycles all over the world. The NAMZ Delphi 36-pin ECM connector is unlike the factory version. It is packaged as a kit and comes with all of the materials you need to install it! It includes terminals, strain relief, retaining lock, seal and cable tie. Not for the faint at heart and should only be installed by an experienced technician.

To get started on this chop n’ roll job, after removing all unnecessary parts and cleaning the frame, the powertrain went from dull to very attractive thanks to the replacement of all the stock covers with EMD’s Ribbed Rocker, Cam and Clutch covers, all powder coated in a wrinkle silver finish. A set of foot control Twin Cam to Evo adapters were bolted to accept Exile’s own billet foot controls in satin finish. Then, a remote master cylinder was bolted under the clutch end cover.
On the driveline side, Russell installed his Exile 3” open belt kit and a centrifugal clutch with the bike being setup as foot clutch jockey shift. Below about 1200 rpm the clutch is automatically disengaged making riding a foot-clutch a breeze. For a unitized look. the open primary, like the motor cases and tranny, received a wrinkle silver powder coating treatment. The adjustable kickstand (in both open and close position) is now bolted to the frame under the open belt kit. Front end is made of Exile’s Sani Tree triple tree, keeping Harley sliders with shorter fork tubes and using Sportster fork boots. Fender mounts were thinned a 1/4” to have enough room to fit a 15” wheel 200 mm front tire and authorizing the installation of an appropriate width fender. A matching 15” wheel 200 mm rear tire was attached to the swingarm and is now slowed by a Sprocket Brake Kit (rear brake and final drive sprocket are combined), a signature item from
There is a new look today at this year’s NASCAR Daytona 500 as both the Daytona Beach Police Department and the Port Orange Police Department are providing motor patrol service on Victory Police Motorcycles (VPM). The officers on the specially equipped VPM bikes are getting a lot of attention as race fans at the speedway and around town take photos and ask questions about these police bikes…(photos @ Michael Dapper)

On Wednesday March 9, 2016, at the Jester Live Pavilion (ex. Coca Cola Pavilion) at Rossmeyer’s Destination Daytona in Ormond Beach, Dave Perewitz and daughter Jody will host the 2nd annual Daytona Ultimate Custom Motorcycle Paint Show.


This morning,
A stiff and light cast-aluminum frame transmits every last one of those horsepower directly to the pavement. Sharp steering geometry, a tight, 62.1-inch wheelbase and 32-degrees of available lean angle deliver agility previously unknown to American V-twin motorcycles. Muscular styling cuts an undeniably modern profile and a sportbike-inspired bullet cowl improves airflow over the rider at the triple-digit speeds Octane is built to achieve.

“35 years ago when Zippers was a smaller company resources were extremely precious. We have been blessed with valuable advice from many great people in this industry. A stand out is former owner of Sifton and founder of Red Shift Cams, the late Dick Hilferty, He gave us some of our best advice during that critical time.

These are the words that profoundly touched me. “BLIND MANS ORIGINAL POEM. HOW YOU PLAYED TTHE GAME”. “When you’ve climbed up the Golden Stairs my friend, and you’re standing at the Pearly Gate and St.Peters thumbing through his book. For the questions just as to your fate, he will not ask your religion, friend or the land from whence your father came. As for questions, he will ask but one. Not your score, but how you played the game!” 
Looking like a race velocity stack but unlike most velocity stacks on the market, the Velociraptor breathes and filters the air with a K&N washable element. The Super Ring insert covers up the mounting bolts, delivering smooth airflow into your motor. For many Harley model applications, in chrome or black with a polished stainless screen. From MSRP $139.99 to S169.99. It is strongly recommend to do a recalibration of the ECM on all EFI models using a tool such as the TTS MasterTune (P/N 9225) or Vance & Hines Fuel Pak (P/N 230), sold separately.

Ex Orange County Choppers Fabricator Rick Petko Takes Job At Harley Dealership. After 13 years spent with Orange County Choppers as a fabricator and builder and present in all Discovery Channel’s “American Chopper” episodes, Rick Petko joined Pocono Mountain Harley Davidson as a builder for the dealer. You could have expected Petko to open his shop, but instead he chose to work for others close to his home in Stroudsburg, NY no more commuting 90 miles each way to Orange County Choppers. Pocono Mountain Harley Davidson is currently building a new, larger store in Tannersville, NY.
This primary cover looks like an open belt system but is not! It just bolt-on on all ’07-Up Harley-Davidson Twin-Cam touring models. And I must admit, it radically changes the left side of a bagger. Safety of an enclosed primary system included.
James Rice’s wife told him “I have a lot of old spoons but don’t want to throw them away. Do something creative with them” Jim being talented with his hands, and frustrated of not having enough time to build himself a custom chopper, got the idea to use all the extra spoons to create miniature motorcycles.

The Nomad Fender Skirts allow you to change the look and function of you Harley-Davidson from touring cruising and back in less than 5 minutes. Just remove your bags and bolt-on the skirts then remove the skirts and re-install your bags.

Among a sea of SUV looking more and more the same and never leaving the pavement, you are certain to stand out riding the new Rhino XT built by US Specialty Vehicles. Introduced during the recent Las Vegas Sema, this stylish, rugged and seductive Rhino XT SUV is built using a mechanically stock Jeep Wrangler Ulimited platform and drivetrain. A mix of Hummer and JK styling, it features flared fenders, hardened tow hooks, a hard-top removable roof, and a performance roll cage built to withstand the toughest tumble. It’s loaded up with 35-inch off-road tires sitting on 20-inch aluminum rims, and a turbocharged 3.6L V6 engine. The interior is customized as well, with leather seats, and an Alpine navigation system. Soccer moms will not buy it! So order one in tactical green for $75,000. For the richest among you, the GX version seating 5 to 7 with a 6.8L V10 engine with an even more macho look will cost you $194,000.

Fully customizing a classic and turning it into a new timeless motorcycle is not an easy feat. In his New Hampshire workshop, 
Last year, the 1st edition of True Grit was a highlight of Daytona Bike Week with more than 100 vintage motorcycles gathering at what is now known as Jester Live (former Coca Pavilion) at Bruce Rossmeyer’s Destination Daytona in Ormond Beach. Under the initiative of Warren Lane, along with his fellow custom builders Bill Dodge, Billy Lane and Dan Carr, all owners of vintage motorcycles (this year it means pre-77 models, all makes and models) are invited to gather at Jester Live at Rossmeyer’s for a day of camaraderie between owners, builders, restorers, etc. I promise a great time to all the fans of old iron. The True Grit event is free for vintage bike owners and the public. It is recommended that bikes are setup at 10 am when exhibition doors open to the public. More info at

Victory is shattering the sound barrier with the new 2016 Magnum X-1 Stealth Edition powered by a 200-watt 10-speaker surround sound audio system. Loaded with custom features such as billet wheels, a monochrome paint scheme featuring color-matched components and LED lighting, plus a MSRP that’s $1,000 lower than last year. Availability is limited, with dealers first getting the new model starting in February.
The Victory Magnum X-1’s paint job reflects the latest trend with a Stealth Gray suede monochrome style featuring color-matched hinges, fender fillers, lower frame covers, dash, speaker grills and headlight bezel. This may be the only motorcycle on the market that attracts custom fans and concert groupies.
The Magnum X-1, the loudest bike ever, puts you center stage as you roll down the road. Trips are measured in both miles and decibels. Twist the throttle and plug into 200 watts blasting through two 6×9 woofers and two tweeters in the saddlebags, as well as two 5.25-inch mid-bass speakers, two 2.5-inch mid-ranges and two more tweeters in the front fairing. The audio system fully integrates into any Bluetooth capable device, and features an informational window for input and song selection.
