Tucker Adds Epic Cafe Racer
Reversible Conversion Parts
Fort Worth, Texas based Tucker V-Twin has added
another new (and unique) brand to its vendor
portfolio with Chris Eder's Dallas,
Texas based Epic Moto Co. 'Naked
Series' range of custom parts
and conversion kits.
Eder, with co-founders
Kelly Hedgepeth and
Earl Warrick, are
known for "shaking
up the industry and
turning heads with killer
bike designs," and Tucker V-
Twin says that "Chris has done it again with a
breakthrough concept that makes high-end
customized looks accessible and affordable to all
riders."
Epic officially launched in September 2017 at the
Geico Motorcycle Hot Bike Tour in Johnson City,
Tennessee, but heads were already turning months
before when Epic began to entice Harley enthusiasts
on social media with images of four concept bikes.
"The response was overwhelming, and Epic Moto
Co. is proud to offer its first line of custom parts and
cafe racer conversion kits for Harley-Davidson
touring bikes called 'The Naked Series', a high-end,
modular program of bolt-on parts for fully reversible,
warranty-friendly conversions allowing any Harley
touring bike to be transformed into a purpose-built,
customized bagger.
"With the 'Naked Series', riders can go from bagger
to racer and back to bagger-all in their garage". Eder
said that "like most Harley riders, I share the
insatiable need to feel the raw horsepower and
rumble of the Harley, but the weight of a dressed-
out touring bike is cumbersome and gets in the way.
"The 'Naked Series' is the solution for riders who
want the best of both worlds: touring comfort
combined with the performance of a cafe racer-all in
one motorcycle." They feature Chris’ signature style
that "brings back the thrill of a gritty, heart-thumping
ride by stripping away weight and transforming
touring bikes into light, fast, ridable machines."
Simple tools are all that is needed to install 'Naked
Series' parts; no structural or frame modifications are
required. That means the original H-D warranty won’t
be voided and a touring bike’s ‘inner cafe racer
bagger’ can be unleashed without breaking the
bank. "Affordable, lightweight, alluring designs,
optimized for performance and speed," says Eder.

DC V-Twin - Up to +25% HP
Gain for .465 Lift M-8 cam
Known for enhancing the performance of
Harley-Davidsons with its engine
performance packages, Derek Churchwell's
DC V-Twin Performance has released
another "unrivalled" cam shaft.
The .465 lift M-8 cam shaft is a direct bolt in
performance upgrade for the 107", 114"
and 117" M-8 engines. The cam's original
design was geared to add superior
acceleration on the bottom end and still
deliver a big number at the top end of the
power curve.
"This cam still hits like the traditional
Harley cams that deliver that unique
sound," Derek told AMD Magazine, "but
once you twist the throttle it is anything but
stock. As you well know, the camshaft is
one of the most critical parts of an engine's

performance, so look
no further than this
new cam grind to deliver
excellent horsepower and
torque curves you desire."
Derek says that Dyno results
show almost a 25% gain in
horsepower and nearly a 20%
gain in torque when coupled with
an aftermarket exhaust and air cleaner.
DC V-Twin camshafts are made in the USA
and are available exclusively through its
dealer networks.
