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.

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.
