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. KHROME WERKS: US made exhausts, mufflers, handlebars, saddlebag supports, sissy bars and pads, towing hitches, luggage racks and more; www.khromewerks.com 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; www.hofmann-designs.com AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE DEALER - APRIL 2015 21
