V-TWIN EXPO PART TWO
After many years stumbling along the bottom of what has proven to be a very broad U-curve, this
year the 15th annual V-Twin Expo at Cincinnati reflected market improvements with a return to
(modest) visitor growth, together with some returning and some new exhibitors. AMD presents a
second selection of vendor company and product news reports from this year's show. Next year's
16th annual V-Twin Expo will be held on February 6-7.

YELVINGTON TRIKES: The Largo, Florida based company describes their 2005
and up Sportster conversion assembly as a "true paradigm shift. Now you
can convert to the comfort and convenience of three wheels and keep all
your accessories and exhaust. The Yelvington 3.0 integrates a new
swingarm, and combines the classic styling of the Sportster, with the
functionality of our conversion to create the complete "Rolling Art" trike
package"; www.ytrikes.com
HOFMANN DESIGNS: New from the Hanover, Minnesota custom engineer is
their new “No Kickstand Frame Kit.” A direct bolt-on replacement setup for
2009 and newer H-D touring models, the kit will allow the frame to lay flat
on the ground, with proper neck rake and stretch, on up to an 18" rear
wheel. The USA made gloss black powder coat kit includes an adjustable TIG
welded swing arm and modified sub-frame, one-piece steel battery box &
top strap, Lithium-Ion battery and a manually operated fail-safe system;
