Racing Leathers’
Special Ops jacket
KEITH ‘Bandit’ Ball, the former editor of Easyriders
magazine, and Founder and President of
Bikernet.com has begun a new venture - 5-Ball
Racing Leathers.
The company’s first product is the Special Ops (12
pocket) jacket, which is described as having room for
wallet, keys, smart phone, garage door opener and
more.
Features on the Special Ops jacket include two gun
pockets that are stitched in such a way to as be wider
and deeper than the typical pocket, the use of lightweight milled buffalo leather, a heavy-duty, gunmetal-grey zipper front, bound leather neck trim,
double-needle seam construction, and zip-off
removable sleeves.
"The Special Ops Club jacket makes sense for riders
as it supports the needs of bikers, including their
safety and gear storage," says Keith ‘Bandit’ Ball.
The Special Ops Club jacket is available at Crank &
Stroker, J&P Cycles and Bartel's Harley-Davidson.

RSD brake calipers
ROLAND Sands Design has created a line of
brake calipers that are said to use GP racing
architecture and weight distribution in
combination with greater rigidity compared
to stock brakes to offer maximum input
form the lever for greater stopping power.
The calipers have been designed to be used
with an RSD radial master cylinder for the
best braking performance.
The new caliper bodies feature differential
bore pistons (1.125in and 1.375in) to apply
a different force at both the leading edge
and the trailing edge of the brake pads. The
brakes, which are available for 11.5in and
11.8in/300mm front and rear disc
applications, are supplied complete with
pads, bleeder screw, 3/8in-24 banjo bolt and
sealing washers and shim kit. Finish options
on the calipers are Contrast Cut, Black Op,
Machine Ops, or chrome.
