Mupo AB1 EVO
Shock for FTR 1200
Italian suspension specialist Mupo has a range of
options available for the Indian FTR 1200 - all with
similar features and the same genuinely race bred
quality and durability that they build into its Super
and Hypersport sector sport bike suspensions.
Ideal for both the road and on the track, the hard
anodized Mupo AB1 rear shock features “plug and
play” adjustments with independent rebound and
compression adjustments that work in synergy to
ensure optimum balanced suspension performance.
All components are CNC-machined from solid,
100% dimensionally checked and then subjected to
selected high-tech component-specific surface
treatments for the optimal functioning of each
individual part.
An evolution of Mupo's standard AB1 nitrogen gas
pressurized monoshock, the AB1 EVO features an
upgraded 46 mm Ergal 7075 cylinder (zinc and
aluminum alloy for anti-stress properties) instead of
steel for improved strength, reliability and main
piston precision. The 46 mm piston has been
designed to maximize the oil flow and ensure the
flatness of the reed valve pack support surfaces,
which improves fluid hydraulics and radically
increase rear tire grip. The reservoir, head and
connections are also in Ergal 7075.
The separate adjustments of double compression at
high/low speeds, compression, wheelbase and
spring preload with millimeter ring nuts make the
AB1 EVO the ideal choice for riders who want
precision handling. The 16 mm rod is surface treated
with Hyperlox DLC (Diamond Like Coating), which
gives a minimum sliding coefficient and therefore
greater sensitivity.
Thanks to the wide range of springs available, dealers
can customize the shock for their customers' load
and riding style preference at point of order. For
maximum performance, Mupo recommends the
V-Factor Oil Filter for
M-8 and Twin Cam
New from Hazelwood, Missouri based Mid-
USA Motorcycle Parts, these V-Factor oil
filters for M-8 and Twin Cam engines are
constructed with a 5 micron high-flow
synthetic filter media, anti-drain back valve
to prevent dry starts, pressure relief valve
and a thick shell that prevents punctures -
available in chrome or black.
These V-Factor oil filters are a stock
replacement for many OE applications and
an anti-drain back feature stock upgrade for

installation of the hydraulic preload option, which
allows for dynamic real time adjustment in response
to changes in load and road or track surface.
The range of adjustability is immense - 24 clicks of
low speed and five clicks of high speed compression;
40 positions of extension and 9 mm of adjustable
wheelbase.
All Mupo products are handmade to order and have
a 2-year warranty. This can be extended up to six
years by carrying out periodic reviews and

Comp Master
Advance Unit
This Comp Master advance assembly from
Santa Fe Springs, California based American
Prime Manufacturing has a 304 stainless
steel base, with center post, pivot pins and
the weights coated with a specially
formulated polymer coating.
"The coating protects the components from
heat saturation," says industry veteran and
APM CEO Ben Kudon. "It reduces friction
and, in most cases, strengthens the
components to improve efficiency.
"The special CNC-machined coiled springs
hold precision tolerances, controlling spring
rates to within 5% of specification to
provide the max advance and retard
applicable to your motorcycle. They are
manufactured with precision drawn wire,
then zinc plated for corrosion protection
with post baking for relieving of potential
hydrogen embrittlement.
"The advance unit is assembled at our
factory in Santa Fe Sprins, California, and
made in the U.S.A. We also have complete
rebuild kits available for our own Comp
Master advance units that also service
Rivera advance units."
This high performance Comp Master
Advance Assembly Kit is made from a high
grade stainless steel, so it won't rust, and
the kit includes the center bolt. It fits all
Harley models right up to the introduction
of the Twin Cam models.
"Although Harley introduced a form of
electronic ignition on its models in late
1979, due to its inherent problems many
people converted back to points ignition
because of its simplicity. Prior to 1979 all H-
D models uses points type ignitions - our
Comp Master advance unit was created not
only to upgrade a points style ignition, but
also to enhance the early electronic
ignitions and convert electronic ignitions
back to the simplicity of a points ignition."
