custom-heated grips feature a soft, serrated texture for superior grip.

throttle-by-wire applications; the inside length is 4.6"; www.avongrips.com
ThunderMax: Recent news from the award-winning Whitehouse, Tennessee
based manufacturer of the ThunderMax ECM, iRIDE air assist shocks with
"Intelligent Ride Control" are said to be "the most advanced air assisted
suspension on the market for '14-up Touring models." They feature patent-
pending automatic load-levelling technology that "means no more than
removing the saddlebag for manual adjustments to the suspension for
riding one-up, two-up, or with luggage." The iRIDE system uses a
touchscreen display and gauge interface allowing full control of the
motorcycle's ride height based on vehicle speed, including stopped, city
and highway modes; www.thunder-max.com
Paughco: Recent new products from the legendary Carson City, Nevada
based manufacturer include billet 6-degree CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet
aluminum triple trees, designed to minimize the handling and front end
flop problems associated with altered front end geometry. Developed to
accommodate a number of its most popular chopper frames with 45° neck
rake, used in conjunction with "raked" frames and appropriate length
extended front ends, the 6-degree offset provides near stock "trail"
dimensions, which in turn virtually eliminates radical front end flop;

Cometic: Recent new products from the Mentor, Ohio based manufacturer
include weld-free, resurface-free 4.250" MLS (multi-layer steel) big bore
head gaskets for oil cooled M-8 models - "which makes a 4.250" big bore
top-end a truly bolt-on kit now," says Cometic's Jason Moses. "This is the
largest bore you can go to without boring the engine cases". They also fit
the coolant-cooled head with no modifications and are available in all the
custom thicknesses in stock bore 3.937" to 4.250"; www.cometic.com
