Tucker 2020 Tires,
Shop and Service
Catalog
The 2020 Tucker Tires, Shop and
Service digital flipbook catalog is now
online, and for 2020 Tucker says it has
added even more helpful information
focused on tires, shop supplies and
service essentials - "as well as the
brands and products dealers need to
help keep customers’ powersports
machines in top condition."
New product highlights for 2020
include the MUC-OFF range of
motorcycle cleaning products based
on its 3-step clean, protect and lube
program; a new combined
BikeMaster, Shorai and Anti-Gravity
Li-ion battery chart for quick product
cross-reference and application
reference; a new line of motorcycle
and ATV inner tubes from Kenda;
Maxima's new ProFilter premium oil
filters with M-Pleat technology (larger
filtration area and a greater capacity
to hold contaminants - these are the
same filters that Maxima include in
their popular Oil-Change-in-a-Box
program); Twin Power's new 'Shocker'
batteries - developed explicitly for V-
twins - and redesigned performance,
street, off-road and ATV tires from
Duro.
Printed versions of the 948-page
2020 Tucker Tires, Shop and Service
catalog are being shipped to their
dealers.

Coating
New for 2019 from Carson City,
Nevada based manufacturer
United Engine & Machine (UEM)
are these Super Duty Series KB
pistons for 2017 and up 114 and
117" M-8s using stock cylinders

compression ratio and generous
valve pockets to accept 1 mm
larger valves.
A hard anodized crown aids
with heat deflection and
corrosion from alcohol fuels. Top
ring groove hard anodizing
eliminates micro-welding of the
ring to the groove and
maintains a flat and smooth
surface for best ring seal.
They have round wire locks,
premium Hastings 1.2 mm, 1.2
mm and 3.0 mm rings with a
steel nitrile top ring with a
ductile Napier second.
These M-8 series feature

clearance. The coating abrades
in on start-up to hone for the
perfect fit per cylinder and
eliminates piston rock for the
best possible ring seal with no
piston slap noise.

pistons, rings, pins and locks
and are available for 120"
applications from 4.125" bore
up to 4.185" bore.
