50-state compliant 2017 4.5”
slip-ons and torque booster
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
Khrome Werks has announced that its 2017 4.5” HP-
Plus slip-on mufflers and patent pending 2017
2-into-1 torque booster conversion kit are now
certified 50-state emissions compliant and are
therefore “qualified manufacturer declared
emissions replacement parts” when used on 2017
Harley-Davidson Touring models.
The company’s 2017 Touring 4.5” HP-Plus slip-ons
are made from 16 gauge carbon steel and
“engineered for performance, style and sound and
dyno tested to show a +8% increase in torque and
a +13% increase in power, compared to
stock when used with a high flow air
filter,” according to the company.
“They produce the Khrome
Werks signature, authoritative
tone without annoying high
frequency noises” and are
available in a choice of
slash-cut or billet tipped
in either triplex highly
polished nickel chrome or
matt black comparable to
OE finish.”
A new absorptive carbon steel
baffle covered with stainless steel matte and
high temp fiberglass has been developed specifically
for the 2017 M-8, and a bolt-in optional insert is
available. Khrome Werks says it is “compliant with
SAE J2825 sound test, with no appreciable loss of
performance.” The tips are 6062 T6 billet aluminum
with a high temperature powdercoat finish.
The 4.5” patent pending 2-into-1 torque booster
conversion kit means dealers can give their
customers the performance of a 2-into-1 system
without the cost or installation of a full system. The
kit converts the existing 2017 stock header “into a
torque and power producing 2-into-1 system.”
Avon adds new Cobra touring sizes
Leading custom tire manufacturer Avon has added
to its ever popular Cobra range of touring tires with
two new fronts (130/60B19 and 130/60B21) and
two new rears (160/70B17 and 180/55B18).
A firm favorite with custom shops, custom bike
builders and performance custom engineers, Avon’s
Cobras were introduced in 2007 as a replacement
line for the venerable Venoms. Described as
delivering “style and performance for cruisers,
customs and tourers,” they are backed by Avon’s
Road Hazard Warranty program and 15,000 mile
warranty.
The construction is said to incorporate sports tire
technology for nimble handling with a “special
construction to deal with heavy loads.” They are said
to have “incredible stability and longevity, making
them perfect for touring with their snakeskin effect
sidewalls and Cobra head on the shoulders adding
a great custom styling touch to any V-twin.”
Noted as “ultra-quiet” tires, Avon offers extra wide
sizes for custom applications in a wide range of sizes
for Harley-Davidson’s V-Rod and V-Twin Baggers,
Triumph’s Rocket III, Honda’s Goldwing and Valkyrie,
as well as the sizes for custom bike applications.
Avon is currently also introducing a new size for
Adventure sport models (150/70R18) and the Spirit
ST - a new sport touring range.
