Deep-Drawn 14-Gauge Steel Café Style Front Fender

CV Carb Recalibration Kit

Paul Yaffe ' s Phoenix , Arizona based operation has more information about its burgeoning Café style fender range for many Harley-Davidson models . In the November edition , we gave a debut to the new 3-D formed , hand laid composite front fender - weighing in at just over 1 lb , it is a " super strong , laser straight " direct bolt-on for 1999 and up Touring models , performance Baggers , FL Softails , Dynas , FXRs and XLs . All-new tooling has now been built for this steel front fender - tooling that allows the fender to be " deepdrawn " from one indestructible piece of 14-gauge steel , as with all of Bagger Nation steel fenders . Each stamped fender is then precision laser-cut for perfect symmetry . " We ' ve even drilled the mounting holes , so you won ' t have to touch a tool when you choose our fenders ," says Paul . " No spinning , no welding , no seams or grooves that need to be body-worked . Each fender is meticulously coated , so you can rest assured
your fender will arrive and remain corrosion-free . " These fenders are perfect ! Seriously , they are perfect - you can pull them right out of the box , scuff them , paint them , and mount them . No drilling or shaping of any kind is required . Painters will love these ." Each real steel 14-gauge fender includes satin CNCmachined billet spacers and all the needed hardware for installation .

Stockholm , Sweden based MIPS has announced a new proprietary analysis technique to allow it to " significantly increase safety while reducing the cost of its technology to motorcycle helmet brands and manufacturers ." Describing it as " the future of helmet development ," MIPS ' new Finite Element Analysis ( FEA ) tool is the latest state-of-the-art computer science technique it is using to replicate and predict the response in labbased and real-life impact helmet testing more quickly and efficiently . " With nearly twenty years of experience developing ground-breaking testing methodology , MIPS has become a pioneer in utilizing virtual testing for linear and rotational motion ," says MIPS CEO , Max Strandwitz . " Our research and simulation of realworld accidents has led us to this new way to test helmets . Multiple design iterations and a lengthy testing procedure can make the helmet manufacturing process expensive and timeconsuming . " To make sure a helmet performs in accordance with the latest standards , which incorporates increased protection for both linear and rotational motion , it

process , while also reducing costs and cutting the length of time to bring a safer helmet to market . " MIPS now offers brands its virtual testing service where helmets can be compared and tested in accordance with a wide range of standards . The first testing standard to utilize the FEA testing method will be ECE 22.06 , which includes testing for rotational motion - the foundation of MIPS ' technology ."
