OptiMate USB O-108 on-bike charger
Finding a USB charger that can stand up to the rigours of the riding environment, while delivering the correct amount of charge and without draining the motorcycle’ s battery, isn ' t straightforward, with many cables and ports falling short. However, new to the OptiMate range of motorcycle purpose built products, their USB O-108 on-bike charger delivers a powerful 3.3A- enough even for the latest smartphones with USB-C charge connectors. Built-in microprocessor controlled battery protection prevents the motorcycle ' s battery from being accidentally discharged after parking, and once parked, charging is limited to a maximum of three hours before it shuts off automatically. It restarts when the engine has restarted and the vehicle charge voltage is back to normal. As a failsafe, even during riding, the O-108 USB automatically cuts charging to the USB device if the vehicle’ s battery voltage drops below 12.3V( approximately 50 % charge remaining in an AGM battery). An easy-to-read LED display enables the user to see
at a glance if it is delivering full or restricted( 3 hours max) power or has shut down due to the battery voltage being too low. All OptiMate USB chargers are 100 % true power rated and deliver a continuous and consistent charge. They also come with a built-in Apple ' handshake ', to guarantee iPhones and iPads charge at the appropriate maximum. Weatherproofing comes as standard, to prevent moisture causing problems and guarding against any damp issues with the bike ' s electrical system.

M-8 valve spring collar
The new Milwaukee Eight engine boasts an all new head design, utilizing four valves per head. The new valve design is different from previous years’ models and requires a different valve spring collar for assembly and disassembly. Now, instead of having to buy an entirely new tool for the job, JIMS has designed an adaptor collar for their existing valve spring compressor to get both jobs done. Not only will this tool save space, but it is an inexpensive and versatile addition to your toolbox.
