From Stock to Shock – Part Deux
Last month AMD featured new Redline Performance Slip-Ons for Harleys, by Lincoln, Nebraska based TAB Performance – " crafted to deliver the ultimate upgrade for Harley-Davidson Grand American Touring( M8 models)." In addition to HD fitments, TAB offers its Redline Performance Slip-Ons for Indian Touring motorcycles with hard bag setups. Described as being designed for " riders who demand top-tier power, sound, and style," these 4.5 " Redline slip-ons " unlock significant horsepower and torque gains. They feature our new Redline Performance baffle, which combines high-performance engineering with a bold and aggressive sound- reminiscent of the iconic Zombie baffle- precision machine-cut end cap." " The result is an exhaust note that growls with authority," said TAB Performance co-owner Casey Pflanz, co-owner, " turning every ride into a statement. These slip-ons don ' t just perform- they ' re built with precision and style in mind."

Outer Bearing Super Support
The new Baker Outer Bearing Super Support is specifically engineered as a " next level solution " for 1970-1984 OEM 4-Speed and Baker 6-into-4 applications. Designed to deliver the durability and precision required to reliably address the critical need for mainshaft support in setups without a motor plate. Without the inner primary mainshaft bearing support, added stress is placed on the mainshaft. The Baker Outer Bearing Super Support efficiently addresses this issue, fortifying the setup with strength and reliability. Combining sleek, minimalist design with unmatched versatility, it is engineered from high-grade 6061 aluminum, accommodates wider tire configurations, supports both O-ring and non O-ring chains, and delivers enhanced mainshaft reinforcement for open primary setups. " With easy installation and a rugged raw machined finish, this support is built for both form and function," says Bert Baker. " Crafted for durability and purpose, it ' s specifically designed for open primary applications, giving riders reliable support where it matters most. The support ' s versatility allows it to work seamlessly with both
standard offset and dished offset sprockets, fitting O- ring and non-O-ring chains. Each kit includes hardware for straightforward installation." Fitment includes 1970-1984 OEM 1 " shaft 4-Speed transmissions, Baker 6-into-4 and BDL Open Belt Drives not running an inner support plate.
