Pro Heavy-Duty Pin Spanner
Allows Precision
Torque Setting
FTR 1200
Adjustable
Cartridges
This Pro heavy-duty pin spanner from Loomis,
California based specialist Motion Pro is an
innovative specialty service tool designed to provide
better control and range when working with pin
spanner components.
Pin spanner components are unique and can be
found most commonly on precision motorcycle
suspension components. Pin spanner sizes vary, so
Motion Pro aimed to provide the primary sizes that
a professional tech or home enthusiast may need to
remove most components with ease.
Motion Pro's heavy-duty pin spanner includes 3 mm,
4 mm and 5 mm hardened steel pins, which can be
quickly changed using a 7 mm open end wrench.
Fastening to precise torque settings is difficult with
standard pin spanner wrench designs, but the 3/8"
drive feature included with the Motion Pro heavyduty
pin spanner allows for additional control and
use of a torque setting driver to achieve proper
torque specifications.
A long-handled 3/8 driver can also be used for more
leverage and a secure pull for removing stubborn pin
spanner components. The Motion Pro heavy-duty pin
spanner is all-new and provides great features for
powersports mechanics and enthusiasts needing the
right tool for the job.
In suspension terms, the most common use of pins
is in the installation and removal of shock absorber
reservoirs, screw-in seal heads, fork caps and bearing
retainers. The freely pivoting, curved low profile arms
of the billet heat treated steel, durable black oxide
treated Pro heavy-duty spanner have a range of 10.5
mm to 150 mm.
This patented design has a maximum torque rating
of 70 lb-ft, and the body of the tool is backed by a
lifetime warranty. Replacement pins additionally
available.

APM - Belts, Belts and More Belts
Santa Fe Springs, California based performance
replacement clutch specialist American Prime
Manufacturing brings President Ben Kudon's 40
years of industry experience as a dealer, distributor
and manufacturer to a wide range of transmission
parts and related components.
"I started American Prime to fill a void that exists in
the motorcycle aftermarket industry. Down the years
I have had experience of not being able to source
particular products either because they are scarce
and hard to find, only available as cheap imports or
knock-offs, or simply not offered anymore.
"American Prime fills in those gaps and offers a
range of performance upgrade replacements backed
by superb customer service."
Last month we featured one such example of a hardto-find
replacement - APM's new Comp Master
clutch kit assembly for all pre-Evo Big Twins with
early dry style clutches (1936 - 1984). The month
before we featured the Comp Master 304 stainless
steel base advance assembly with center post, pivot
pins and the weights coated with a specially
formulated polymer coating.
This month we are featuring a selection of American
Prime primary drive belts in 8, 11 and 14 mm made
in Kevlar or fiberglass cord. "Many of these belts are
seemingly impossible to get, especially when you
need them in a hurry," says Kudon.
"We have final drive belts in 24 mm (used on current
manufactured Harleys), 1.125" and 1.50" wide with
carbon fiber cord, which is even stronger than Kevlar,
and in a huge range of different tooth
configurations."
Made in the USA by Gates, belts available include the
1.125" wide (14 mm) APM final drive belt with 136
teeth with polychain carbon fiber final cord fits
selected Sportsters; the 1 3/4" wide 11 mm
smoothback Kevlar corded polychain primary drive
belt fits selected enclosed primary, electric start
Primo Brute III Extreme belt drives and Primo Slimline
open belt drives; and the 1 3/4" (8 mm) 138-tooth
Kevlar replacement belt fits Softail and Dyna models
using Primo Brute III enclosed belt drives with 45/68
combo.

Ideal for track and road
FTR 1200 riding and
fully adjustable for
optimal driving in all
conditions, the LCRR
front suspension by
Italian specialist Mupo
"has been designed to
transform the original
forks into high
performance road
eating bend huggers,"
according to Sales
Manager Leonardo
Borghi.
The name derives from
the expression "left
compression, right
rebound", used to
describe modern forks
with separate and
independent hydraulic
adjustments.
The 25/30 mm
cartridges have 25/30
mm pistons
manufactured in zinc
aluminum alloy (Ergal) and have progressive
system calibration with a 12 mm rod in
Ergal, floating rod guide bushing, chromesilicon
steel springs with Ergal spring guide
and fork caps with spring preload on
bearings and breather screws.
Adjustments are 40 clicks of compression
and extension and 30 clicks of spring
preload (15 mm).
By simply replacing the entire original
cartridge group with the LCRR, equipped
with oversized pistons with progressive
system, greater driving precision and better
performance are guaranteed in terms of
stability, handling and ability to read, ride
and respond to the irregularities of the
asphalt surface.
The spring preload adjustment in both legs
makes it easy to find the ideal setting for
additional loads or riding two-up while still
maintaining comfort and driving dynamics.
The wide range of Mupo springs available
means it is possible to customize the front
forks for weight and riding style when
ordering.
Mupo suspension products come with a
two-year warranty as standard - this can be
extended to six years by following the
review and maintenance schedule per the
product service book.
