GUIDE Le Pera 'KickFlip' for Dyna Last month we featured Le Pera's new 'TailWhip' design for Dyna applications, but here is the popular 'KickFlip' design from which that was evolved. This version is their 'KickFlip' Daddy Long Legs for taller riders. Along with the maximized back support and 11" of ample seating area, the Daddy Long Legs will move the rider back by approximately 2" compared to the original 'KickFlip'. It is available for '06-'17 Dynas and '08-up Baggers. Standard options include Diamond, Pleated Basket Weave, Diamond Gripp and Pleated Gripp tape for traction. Still handcrafting all its seats at its North Hollywood, California headquarters after more than 45 years as the market's design leader, Le Pera seats feature a powder-coated steel base plate, a specially poured high density "Marathon" molded foam foundation and double-stitched, handcrafted cover with bonded polyester thread for durability.

THE JEKILL & HYDE COMPANY Belfeld (Venlo), NETHERLANDS Tel: [phone] [email protected] www.jekillandhyde.com Lifter Holders Known for enhancing the performance of Harley-Davidsons with its engine performance packages, in April this year we featured new direct bolt-in M-8 cams from Derek Churchwell's DC V-Twin Performance - cams that Derek says deliver almost a 25% gain in horsepower and 20% torque gain when coupled with an aftermarket exhaust and air cleaner. The latest news from the Perry, Georgia based specialist is of newly designed DC V-Twin lifter holders. "They work great for Harley-Davidson Twin Cam and Milwaukee-Eight engines," says Derek. "These high-tech lifter holders get the job done fast and efficiently every time. Features include rare earth magnets made with neodymium - these are the strongest magnets available for their size and also have a nickel-plated finish to help resist corrosion." A thumb screw has been incorporated into these unique lifter holders to raise the lifters to the proper height for cam removal and installation.
