Zodiac Additions
Andrews M-8
Camshafts Clip-On Handlebars
Zodiac says that with 107 and 114 cubic inch engine
sizes and high efficiency four-valve heads,
Milwaukee-Eight engines “show great potential for
performance gains, especially with new design
Andrews Milwaukee-Eight series camshafts.
“Cam timing specs for four-valve heads look very
different from camshafts designed for two-valve
applications – they have much greater flow
efficiency, so listed cam timing durations are a lot
shorter. Bolt-in cams can be used with stock
pushrods, however, for ease of installation we
recommend the use of Andrews EZ-Install Chrome-
Moly pushrods.”
The available Andrews range includes M450 and
M460 bolt-in cams for 107” engines; M462 and
M464 for 107 and 114 inchers; M504 cam for use
with hi-lift valve springs and the M520 performance
cam for more torque and power from modified 114
cubic inch engines. Made from high-tensile steel with dimples for
routing the switch wiring, Zodiac says these clip-ons
are “great for Cafe Racer style bikes.”
Available in chrome or black for 39 mm or 41 mm
forks.
Bitubo M-8 Softail Rear
Shocks
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
Italian suspension manufacturer Bitubo has
designed these multi-adjustable shocks as stock
replacement for the 2018 Softail monoshock.
“Bitubo focused on the best possible comfort in
combination with the maximum degree of ride
control for solo and two-up riding with or without
luggage.”
Available in a “Dark Edition” black finish, they
feature hydraulic spring preload, adjustable rebound
and length adjustments with a remote adjusting
knob. The Fat Bob version is also offered with a red
spring for a “racy look”. The length adjustment
increases or reduces the ride height.
For ’18-up FXBR and FXBRS Breakout, FLFB and
FLFBS Fat Boy and FLSB Sport Glide, the standard
length is 12 1/2” (318 mm), adjustable in length
from 313 through 322 mm with black spring. For ’18-
up FXFB and FXFBS Fat Bob (with black or red
spring), the standard length is 13” (330 mm),
adjustable in from 326 through 334 mm.

Tier-1 Tuner
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
“Fuel maps - stock or any custom performance map
- are made by people. They therefore represent the
best assessment or guess of the person calibrating
them. For the first time ever, the advanced technology
of the Tier-1Tuner eliminates that variable, requiring
no human interactions.
“Using the bike’s own Inertia Vs Acceleration as the
“dyno”, and Tier-1’s patented technology as the
operator, this unit empirically tests every
performance squirt of fuel and delivers a
measurement guaranteed to make the bike perform
better. Instead of having to work with just one or two
fuel values to cover a 500 rpm range, the rider now
has 10 to 20 fuel values optimizing the same 500
rpm range, all in real time under real life driving
conditions.”
The Tier-1Tuner unit adds a “closed loop” control
system to the currently installed fuel injection system
while it is in performance mode. The unit adjusts fuel
while receiving feedback from the engine’s
acceleration in Real Time/Real Life. The fuel is
changed to whatever is needed to optimize the
engine’s acceleration while in performance mode
and can further improve the acceleration and
performance of an already tuned bike. Available for
a wide range of Harley Street, XL, Touring, Softail,
Dyna and Police models, in some cases going as far
back as ‘95 Touring and ‘01 Softails, plus ’13-up
Indian 111” models, ’15-upScouts, ‘17 Victory
Octane and ’08-‘17 Victory 100 and 106”models.
‘54-’64 Trumpet Horn
The trumpet horn was standard on the 6 volt
generator ‘54-‘64 Panhead Big Twins and
disappeared from the ‘65 model when the factory
AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE DEALER - DECEMBER 2018
went to 12 volt. These complete kits have a chrome
horn and chrome Power Pack cover and include all
required hardware - “great for those who prefer the
classic look” on later 12 volt models such as ‘66-‘84
Shovelheads, ‘84-‘99 Softails and 6 or 12 volt ‘57-
‘85 Sportsters.
Competition Master
Advance Unit by APM
This American made advance weight assembly by
American Prime Mtg. features a shaft and plate
made from precision machined stainless steel. The
heat-treated and high-tech polymer treated weights
are held in place with stainless steel pins. The springs
are made from high quality, phosphate-coated,
spring-tempered music wire, wound to exact
specifications for proper advancement of the weight
and heat-treated and cadmium-plated for durability,
smoother idle and improved throttle response.
Zodiac says that this “superior assembly can be used
for all points systems and Dyna S, Daytona TwinTec
VT-I and other electronic ignition systems that
require a mechanical advance unit.”
Rocket Style
Muffler
This is a very accurate reproduction of the OEM
rocket style muffler found on ’41-‘49 U, UH, UL, ULH,
E, EL, F, FL and FLH Knucklehead, Flathead and
Panhead Big Twins. Available in black or chrome.
