Magnum XR handlebar installation kits Upstate New York based specialist Magnum Shielding Corporation unveils its new XR Handlebar Installation Kits, which feature a great fit and excellent quality at an economical price. Magnum offers the “convenience of easy to order part numbers (by application and handlebar heights) with everything needed for installation included right in the kit.” PARTS AND ACCESSORIES XR installation kits are available for popular ABS and non-ABS Harley-Davidson motorcycles with 12” to 17” ape-hanger style handlebars installed and can be ordered either through Drag Specialties or directly from Magnum. Two color combinations are available - OE black vinyl or clear coated stainless steel - with both featuring highly polished, chrome plated fittings. All XR (which stands for ‘extreme response’) brake lines use an enhanced construction of heavy gauge stainless steel embedded in a tough, abrasion resistant nylon outer jacket that provides “outstanding durability and a superior braking response for safe riding.” Magnum says that these brake line assemblies are not generic or universal style plumb together lines, but rather complete brazed assemblies that duplicate OE style fitments’ optimal appearance and easy no hassle professional installations. They are designed to exceed all DOT FMVSS-106 requirements for safe on-road use. The stainless steel braided control cables are coated with a clear PVC non-yellowing jacket. As with the OE style black vinyl cables, both styles offer “exceptional protection” for paint or chrome. All cables have a low-effort, high-efficiency design that meets or exceeds all OE specifications for fitment, construction and endurance. The kits include throttle and idle cables or throttle- by-wire extensions, clutch cable or XR hydraulic clutch line, XR brake lines, copper crush washers, hardware, turn signals and switch wiring extensions. Noted in the market for premium Sterling Chromite and Black Pearl braids, Magnum’s General Manager, Tom Vierthaler, told AMD that “these new XR Installation Kits are the first economically priced kits we have ever offered, and given our reputation for accurate kit length fitments, this is nothing short of a home run for the industry.” Company Founder and Owner Scott Hurwitz added that “while the pricing is easy on the wallet, there’s no compromise on quality. These kits offer all the performance, function and fitment attributes that our popular ‘Designer Series’ kits are known for, and are backed by the same warranty policy.” MAGNUM SHIELDING Pittsford, New York, USA Tel: [phone] [email protected] www.magnumshielding.com Twin Power V-twin lubricants Manufactured, blended and bottled in the USA from 100% U.S. sourced components, this new line of Twin Power lubricants is “ready for the demanding performance of American V-twin motorcycles.” The new line includes a 25W60 premium engine oil, 20W50 synthetic engine oil, Sportster transmission fluid primary chain lube, semi-synthetic transmission oil, transmission gear lube and fork oil. “We had the lubricants evaluated using four industry standard tests, and the final results showed that our oils tested superior to other competitive oils on the market,” said James Simonelli, Brand Manager for Twin Power. The four tests were the Falex Pin & V Block Test, Four Ball Wear Test, NOACK Volatility Test and Viscosity Index Test. The new range comes in heavy gauge, wide mouth bottles that feature foil sealed caps and color-coded labels and caps for easy product identification. “Each lubricant has been manufactured from superior base stock that provides more consistent viscosity, extreme wear resistance and increased stability at high temperatures.” The engine oils exceed JASO MA2 specification, providing increased shear stability, film strength and clutch performance, which allows them to be used in wet clutch and transmission applications if desired.

Two options are offered - the Comp-S 2-1 full system with their “classic stainless 2-1 cone system complete with either a carbon fiber end cap,” or a welded Megaphone Gen II end cap system. The stepped headers are said to offer a substantial power increase, while the 2-1 system, by design, “will increase torque significantly.” The exhaust system is designed to accommodate both stock (12mm) O2 sensors as well as aftermarket 54 wide band (18mm) sensors to allow for tuning versatility. Seen here on the 2018 Softail Fat Bob, the intake pictured is TBR’s ‘V-Stack’. Both systems are described as direct bolt-on replacements for the stock full system on the Street Bob and Fat Bob. TBR says the systems were designed to fit the 2018 Softail line-up in general.
