Intelligent Ride Control and M-8 Cooling Fan PARTS AND ACCESSORIES First seen in AMD in September last year, iRide Air Assist shocks with "intelligent ride control" from White House, Tennessee based ThunderMax was described by the company at the time of its launch as being "the future of touring model suspension" and as being "the most advanced air-assisted suspension on the market for 2014 and up Tourers." The award winning manufacturer of the ThunderMax ECM describes the iRide as "the only active suspension on the market," and says its ride control system features "patented technology with automatic ride height - the bike automatically raises and lowers based on rider presets. "The system also has automatic load leveling, which means no more removing the saddle bag for manual adjustments to the suspension and spring preload when switching between riding one-up, two-up, or with luggage. "The iRIDE system features 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 - combined with superior suspension cushion and dampening control." The iRIDE system is said to feature "high quality coil-over shock and air spring cylinder for improved ride quality." Also seen here, the ThunderMax oil cooler fan for 2017 and up M-8 Touring models is speed and temperature activated. The fan comes on automatically at 210 degrees when the motorcycle is travelling at under 20 mph. This operation is said to increase cooling efficiency by 27%. Mounting directly behind the stock oil cooler, it does not require the oil lines and oil cooler to be removed, is said to only take 15 minutes to install, and is described as "completely plug and play with a ThunderMax ECM. For the stock ECM a 'flash' will have to be done.

A new addition to its "No One Has The V-Twin Selection" product line, it features a 15 7/8" long inner rod that will sit the rider taller in the saddle. It comes with spring retaining rings and nuts and fits 1937-1952 W models. V-Twin Mfg/ Tedd Cycle, Inc., USA, www.vtwinmfg.com Dyna Stainless Upsweep 2-into-1 Santa Fe Springs, California based manufacturer Vance & Hines says that since the Dyna is the definitive factory hot rod - the mission being the biggest motor in the lightest chassis for the best performance - "it only makes sense to stick to that formula for your Dyna performance exhaust with the Vance & Hines stainless 2-into-1 upsweep. Constructed of lightweight, high grade stainless steel with a no-nonsense brushed "works" finish, we engineered it to maximize torque and horsepower out of the Twin Cam powerplant." Manufactured from high grade 304 stainless steel (ASTM A269) with an oversized 2-into-1 merge collector and megaphone muffler, it features a race- inspired heat shield and fits forward and mid control models - 1991 to 2017 Dynas (except Switchbacks). 56 AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE DEALER - AUGUST 2019 Also seen here, Vance & Hines Hi-Output slip-ons are familiar to V-twin dealers and customizers, but they are also available for a wide range of other customizable platforms, including BMW's hugely popular R nineT series, as seen here. "A symbol of Teutonic design - pure, uncluttered and well-engineered - the R nineT is proving to be a great canvas for customization, and the best place to start is with the Vance & Hines Hi-Output slip-on. "Constructed of high grade stainless steel with a brushed works finish, the Hi-Output slip-on has a no-nonsense look that's perfect for the R nineT and gives the burly boxer motor the grunt it deserves." Features include a stepped muffler design, brushed stainless finish, CNC-machined billet end cap and laser engraved riveted logo badge. The Hi-Output slip-on fits most R nineT models, including '14-'19 R NineT, '17-'19 Urban G/S, Pure and Racer (but not the Scrambler).
