Tucker Adds CustomAcces Program

Pyramid Style 41 mm Fork Legs

Spanish parts and accessory specialist Puig , a leading player in the European ' mainstream ' aftermarket , launched the CustomAcces custom P & A program four years ago , and Tucker Powersports has signed them up for United States distribution . " After our beginnings with Japanese motorcycles and the refined stainless steel accessory program we have developed in the past five decades , we have now decided to take our design and materials expertise into the Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle parts and accessory aftermarket . " We have been developing rigid saddlebags and select accessories for custom style V-twins for a while now , mostly selling them to distributors and their dealers in Europe . Accessories such as our race-style aluminum front plate design for Sportster Forty-Eight models ( 2017 and up ) and popular ' FastLine ' and ' Moon ' grips . We are now also focussing on windshields , semi-fairings and crash bar protectors among other product designs ." Based near Barcelona , Puig ' s credentials for doing so include its experience as windshield technical partner to the Kawasaki Racing Team ( KRT ) in World Superbikes . It has been supplying its virtual windshield derived race bike windshield and fairing designs to no less than Jonathan Rea and his teammate Alex Lowes . Rea and KRT have been world champions for an
unprecedented run of six consecutive years from 2015 to 2020 inclusive , making him the most successful World SBK rider in the history of the championship . So KRT and Puig must be doing something right ! As a credential for its product quality , Puig windshields and semi-fairings are certified by the notoriously demanding and rigorous German TÜV , and in Europe they ship with an ABE approval certificate . They are available in a wide range of styles , sizes and colorways and manufactured in 3 mm acrylic - also known as ' plastic glass '.
