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. 5 BALL RACING LEATHERS Wilmington, California, USA Tel: [phone] [email protected] 5ballracingleathers.com 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. www.AMDchampionship.com AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE DEALER - APRIL 2015 ROLAND SANDS DESIGN Los Alamitos, California, USA Tel: [phone] [email protected] www.rolandsands.com 39
