‘ Precision ’ M-8 covers and accents
Kuryakyn has introduced its first complete line of bolt-on engine covers designed exclusively for Milwaukee-Eight models . Said to “ showcase modern and muscular designs that deliver a truly defined appearance to emulate internal movements of the engine and transmission ,” Kuryakyn say , “ the resulting look produces a seamless integration with every factory component , whether used individually or as a complete set . “ Historically we designed our engine chrome components to be used together ,” said Kenny Ladoucer , Kuryakyn Category Manager . “ If you didn ’ t buy a certain piece , it looked like something was missing . The ‘ Precision ’ system is different in that each part can be integrated independently , pieced together over time , or used to target specific areas of the motor to create a visual impact .” Described as serving as “ an extension of the Milwaukee- Eight ’ s design language ,” the collection includes groupings of unique covers and accents that bring the same powerful appearance to often overlooked areas of the engine block . Focus areas include the cylinder base , inner primary , tappet block , transmission and starter , as well as the voltage regulator , coolant pump for liquid cooled models , and oil cooler , among others .” Previous iterations of Kuryakyn engine covers have incorporated the use of VHB adhesive for installation . Everything in the ‘ Precision ’ line is bolt-on , “ reducing the
hassle of removing and re-installing parts for service maintenance .” “ Kuryakyn has established a reputation for developing engine covers ,” said Industrial Design Manager Michael Bates . “ When we got our hands on the new Milwaukee- Eight , we knew this was going to be an incredible opportunity and journey for our team . We paid close attention to the original inspiration behind the design , and then pinpointed opportunities to make the look more complete . What we added incorporates the same muscular styling cues found throughout the engine . There aren ’ t many projects that consume our whole team , and the entire Kuryakyn Product Development group played a role in all phases of creating the ‘ Precision ’ collection . We ’ re incredibly proud to see this line of parts hit the market .” The majority of components are currently offered in premium chrome finish , with a handful of select pieces also available in black . Gloss black versions of the entire collection are in development and will be available in late summer 2017 .

When Dar Holdsworth , a former AMD Production class World Champion custom bike builder , started his Brass Balls Cycles off-shoot in 2006 , he had no idea his hobby of building motorcycles in his free time would turn into a full-time bikes and parts design business . Now , 10 years later , with Biker ’ s Choice on board as his distributor , Dar ’ s parts program is growing rapidly . Machined from solid 6061 T6 billet aluminum , these knurled moto grips are “ all grip with no slip ,” says Dar . “ Our classically styled moto grips have perfect knurling to ensure great grip without tearing up your hands or gloves . “ Aggressively knurled for maximum grip , they have a slight raised arc to fit perfectly in the palm of the hand , and I am proud to be able to say that they ’ ve turned out pretty good - they look amazing !” Gold anodized , they have the H-D style dual pull cable fitment for 1 ” diameter bars .
