Maxima Racing Oils: The Santee,
California based specialist is on the
expansion trail in Europe - best
known for its MX lubricants range,
in the V-twin market the company
continues to do well with its
popular oil change in a box kits -

bolt O-rings. To complement the
manufacturer's comprehensive
range of products for the Harley and
Indian Motorcycle aftermarket and
custom sector, specific V-twin
branded dealer display racks are

Venhill Engineering: The internationally respected British manufacturer is
well known in Europe for its cables, with fitments for most popular makes
and models, and an impressive "back catalog" of applications. Around two
years ago the company added replacement throttle and clutch cable kits for
Harley applications in universal kits with cables that are unfinished at one
end, so that they can be cut to length and used for custom applications and
builds as well as stock replacements. All the connections are designed to
fasten securely without the need for soldering, so these are proper DIY kits
for 'home mechanics' as well as providing dealer workshops with a versatile
stocking solution. Dual throttle and idle cable kits come in both push-fit and
threaded versions, to suit a wide range of models. Extra long at 1,350 mm/53
inches they allow for bikes fitted with high handlebars and come with either
90° or 75° bends, in a choice of black or braided steel outers. The black
cables have longitudinal conduit (not coiled) which won't pinch on bends, so
they won't restrict cable movement. The clutch cable (also made extra long
at 2,080 mm/82 inches) comes in black or braided steel finishes to match the
throttle. Like all Venhill cables, they're designed to deliver improved
performance and durability, along with smoother action; www.venhill.co.uk
