Pickard Bagger options
PICKARD USA is continuing to expand its product
offerings for Bagger models with the introduction of
raked fairing bracket packages. The new brackets
have been designed to be used on ’13 and earlier
custom Road Glides that are running 26in or 30in
wheels. Once installed, the heavy gauge steel
brackets correct the fairing angle after the bike’s neck
has been raked. The brackets allow use of vented
fairing lowers and eliminate the OEM fairing
supports that are mounted to the engine guard.
Mounting between the inner fairing mount and
the turn signals, the Road Glide fairing support
brackets can also be used to locate a mini amplifier
or mount an air compressor.
Moving to the rear of the bike, Pickard has 4.5in
extended Top Shop saddlebags. Made from injection
molded vinyl ester reinforced fiberglass, the bags are
carpet lined and primed ready for paint. The 4.5in
extension allows for additional storage space and
the bags are supplied with a custom removable shelf.
Options on Pickard’s bags include no exhaust cutout, or single or dual cut-outs. The factory lids and
mounting hardware are re-used and Pickard offers
billet aluminum latch covers as an additional option.

Pro Pad ortho SuperLight Stainless
insert for
Series slip-on for Buell
motorcycle
seats
PRO Pad is now making its ortho inserts
available for installation into motorcycle
seats. The company, which has been making
gel inserts for motorcycle seats for over 15
years, has been using the ortho insert in its
1Diamond Mesh and Tech Series top pads
for two years and the positive results have
led to the ortho insert now being used in all
of its top pads.
The ortho insert has a comfort channel said
to relieve pressure on the rider’s tailbone,
which in turn reduces rider fatigue and
shortens the recovery time on long rides.
The insert is made of a soft, medical grade
viscoelastic polymer that will not harden or
bottom out. It also withstands extreme
temperatures, from -60 degrees to +210
degrees. For installation, the gel can easily
be trimmed to fit any motorcycle seat.
