Extreme response OEM replacement handlebar installation kits
Upstate New York based specialist, Magnum Shielding Corporation’ s XR stainless handlebar installation kits have been a big hit with dealers since they were introduced last year. Designed to complement their existing line-up of popular‘ Designer Series’ handlebar installation kits, XR kits have the same great fit and excellent quality that Magnum are renowned for, but at an economical price. Magnum offers the convenience of easy to order part numbers( by application and handlebar heights) with all components needed for the installation included in the kit. They are available for popular ABS and non- ABS Harley-Davidson motorcycles with 12” to 17” ape hanger style handlebars in two colors – clear coated stainless steel or black OE style. Both versions feature highly polished chrome plated fittings. The brake line assemblies used in the kits are not generic or universal style plumb-together lines, but rather complete brazed assemblies that duplicate the
OE style’ s optimal fitment for safe routing and appearance. They are definitely the right combination for easy, no hassle professional installations and they’ re designed to exceed all DOT FMVSS-106 requirements for safe on-road use. All XR 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,” says Magnum owner Scott Hurwitz.“ Hence the acronym XR, which stands for Extreme Response.“ The kits that contain stainless steel braided control cables are coated with a clear PVC non-yellowing jacket. The black kits’ OE style cables incorporate a black vinyl covering, with both styles offering 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 throttleby-wire extensions, clutch cable or XR hydraulic clutch line, XR brake lines, copper crush washers, hardware, turn signal and switch wiring extensions.“ It’ s a given that Magnum is known in the market for their premium Sterling Chromite and Black Pearl braids,” says Magnum’ s General Manager, Tom Vierthaler,“ but these new XR Installation Kits are the first economically priced kits we’ ve ever offered, and given our reputation for accurate fitments and quality, this has been nothing short of a home run.” Scott went on to say that“ while the pricing is easy on the wallet, there’ s no compromise on quality. These kits offer all the fit, function and performance characteristics that our popular‘ Designer Series’ kits are known for, and are backed by the same warranty.”
