VOZZ: It’s not often that a truly revolutionary leap forward happens in any market, perhaps least of all in the motorcycle helmet sector, but the Australian designed VOZZ helmet challenges helmet design orthodoxy at a fundamental level. Just why exactly are all other helmets designed to be lifted off the head vertically, when there is another way of looking at it? That “other way”, the VOZZ way of having the helmet open front from back, results in improved ergonomics, improved comfort and an opportunity to design and manufacture the head opening and chin bar area in a way that eliminates the compromises of the orthodox assumptions - “Go Strapless”; www.vozzhelmets.com Keis Heated Apparel: The fast growing Motohaus owned British apparel brand has been “advancing the evolution of heated motorcycle clothing for over 10 years.” Now it is starting to make its range of designs available to distributors and their dealers in continental Europe - last year saw a test introduction in France, Italy, the Czech Republic and Denmark. Designed in the UK, specifically for European riding conditions, the Keis apparel program includes a range of heated jackets, vests, ladies’ bodywarmers, gloves (armoured and inner gloves), heated trousers and boot insoles. Keis uses “micro carbon fiber technology” and the very latest heat generating technology to deliver Far Infra-Red Radiation - the kind that bright sunlight transmits, even on cold days; www.keisapparel.co.uk DP Brakes: The UK based manufacturer was the originator of sintered brake pad technology, still the foundation of what is said to be the best braking compound formulation available. DP pads for Harley applications are made for and sold exclusively by Drag Specialties; www.dp-brakes.com K&N Engineering: The Californian filter specialist’s European operation SRM showcased the firm’s popular ‘Street Metal’ stylish custom air cleaner program, side draft intake systems, high flow M-8 replacement filters, bolt-on ‘Aircharger’ and generally basked in the reflected glory of the success of its AFT Twins sponsorship; www.knfilters.com Koso Europe: The instrument specialist offers one of the largest OE replacement and upgrade ranges in the powersports industry. For Harleys the company’s HD-02 set is a full plug & play solution replacing the OEM parts - nothing needs to be drilled or rewired, you just plug the instruments into the existing connectors and insert them into the panel and choose between a blue or red display on the all black devices. The 6-piece set includes a 4” speedometer, a 4” tachometer with gear indicator, a 2” oil pressure gauge, a 2” outside temperature gauge, a 2” gas gauge and a 2” voltmeter for FLHT, FLHX and FLTR from 2004 to 2013; www.kosoeurope.com 48 AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE DEALER - NOVEMBER 2018 www.AMDchampionship.com
