Hydroformed FTR 1200 Double Muffler Noted Italian performance exhaust manufacturer HP Corse has introduced a homologated (EC- approved) dual muffler slip-on for the Indian FTR 1200. HP Corse specializes in hydroforming, and that is how the unique shapes and radii of the new HYDROFORM-SHORT series application for the FTR V-twin has been achieved - the results of the hydroforming process are said to include precision manufacturing and smoothest possible air flow. The shape, curves and variable geometry internal PARTS AND ACCESSORIES diameters produce a largely weld-free, lighter weight reduced sheet thickness that is mechanically very rigid. Two versions of the HYDROFORM-SHORT double exhaust are available, one Euro 4 approved, and the other racing. The homologated version has the dB killer and keeps the original catalyst, with replacement fittings between the catalyst and the double exhaust made in-house by HP Corse in steel. "A beautiful carbon cover partially covers the catalyst and fittings and guides the eye towards the two beautiful superimposed exhausts that completely change the rear styling of the FTR - making for a unique and performance oriented Italian styled layout." The racing version eliminates the catalyst "for an even more powerful engine." A laser engraved logo is dedicated to the Indian, and differs slightly from the usual HP Corse logo. A black ceramic version will also be available.

(Advanced Innovational Machinery Corporation) has released a new variable pressure clutch design for 2018 and up Milwaukee-Eight Softails. The VP SDR ST features sliding weights that will create 40% more clamping force over stock at 4,000 rpm, raising the overall torque capacity to 120 ft-lbs with a 20% lighter pull during low rpms. The kit handles up to 105 ft-lbs of torque with the optional soft coil spring kit. In terms of how this affects street performance, with the OEM 2018 clutch spring it can handle up to 120 ft-lbs torque. For high performance applications, with the AIM Corp. performance coil springs (AM008- PARTS AND ACCESSORIES 005), the torque capacity will be increased to near 140 ft-lbs. There will be another version available soon, one with a larger weight design to provide even more increased clamping force overall - it will require a 1/4" primary cover spacer to fit the larger weight design. The VP SDR ST will fit behind the stock primary cover with no modifications (except the spacer for the high-performance larger sliding weight design), so is a fully reversible install. AIM CORP.
