Hawg Halters and AirFX launch
joint distribution initiatives for
complete suspension systems
IN new product terms it has been
quite a year for Hawg Halters, the
Georgia,
USA
based
manufacturer.
New versions of its popular X23
triple tree, designed for maintaining
the correct steering geometry on
2014 touring models with 23”
wheels, were followed by a new Neck
Rake Builders kit for 2014 tourers
fitted with 49mm front ends.
Historically the company has been
best known for its brake products and
is offering differential bore 4 and 6
piston direct bolt on calipers in black
or chrome for stock 11.5” and 11.8”
stock rotors and performance
upgrades for both 13" and the
newest 18" sizes, all with matching
True Floating Brake Rotor Kits in
chrome, phantom cut.
Another new addition to their
product line this year are complete
touring bike front end kits as part of
a complete front end program that
“delivers a fully assembled bolt-on
package to HHI dealers and custom
builders.”
Owner Mark Thompson went on to
say that “this exciting new assembly
includes our choice of triple trees,

HHI's brand new Okuma CNC milling
center - 39,000 lbs of production
capacity ready to go!

PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

Hawg Halters’ complete front end
program delivers a fully assembled
bolt-on package from a flexible
modular range of options including
triple trees, lower legs and
suspension configuration

Softail Rear AirFX shock kit

starting with the innovative X23 for
stock frame upgrades, or one of our
complete range of triple trees for
those building a big wheel bagger
using a full neck kit.
“Currently we are offering triple
trees for custom builds from the 23”
wheel to the 30/32” big wheel kits.
“Then there is a choice of ‘Bomber’
or ‘Torpedo’ billet lower legs in single
or dual disc configuration, in chrome
or black finish, with a hidden axle,
and our 4-bolt fender mount
brackets. Our complete front end kits
are currently in 41mm, but we’re
looking to add 49mm packages this
season.
“Finally a variety of shock absorber
treatments, including stock or
lowered ride height, with a further
choice of performance shock inserts
or a complete air system can be
ordered.”
The air system, by Indianapolis
based AirFX, is the result of a joint
distribution program effective this
year that “combines the two
company’s highly engineered
suspension components.”
This new distribution agreement
will see the two manufacturers offer
AirFX 41mm front air suspension kits
in conjunction with HHI’s triple tree

and complete front end line.
HHI is already delivering their
49mm triple trees for 2014 bikes, and
the new 49mm AirFX kits are due to
become available shortly as a
complete builders program that

includes everything from front and
rear kits, 2.75” travel Softail rear
shocks, air tanks, switch harnesses,
controllers, 'Instant Up kits', Air Fill
Kits, remote controls and three
different switch configurations
including an integrated kit to work
with HHI hand controls.
