BST hyperTek
The South African carbon fiber wheels
specialist has attracted high value,
high profile exposure all around the
world following EICMA for the debut
of a new Pierre Terblanche designed
'thing of beauty' in its hyperTek electric
motorcycle.
In new wheel terms, BST has two new
lines - Torque Tek for American V-twins
(H-D, Indian and custom cruisers) and
the GP Tek for sportsbikes. Said to be
the strongest motorcycle wheel BST
manufactures, the Torque Tek has a
front load rating of 518 lbs/235 kg and
904 lbs/410 kg at the rear - a split
midway on the spoke optimizes the
support of the outer rim to fit the
strength and power of custom
choppers and Harley-Davidsons.
The Torque Tek design is not only

The BST hyperTek, designed
by Pierre Terblanche
strong but also very light, tipping the
scales from only 10.58 lbs/4.80 kg
(depending on the fitment), and it too
has the new BST painted and
serviceable coating between the tire
and rim to protect the wheel during
tire changing.
Depending on fitment sizes, the front
weighs in at 10.69 lbs/4.85 kg and the
rear at 10.85 lbs/4.8 kg. The front load
rating is 518 lbs/235 kg with 904
lbs/410 kg at the rear. The front is
available in five size options from 16 x
3.50 to 26 x 3.50; the rear in four
options from 16 x 5.00 to 18 x 5.50.

AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE DEALER - JANUARY 2020
Respected author Timothy
Remus has a new book
available - the FXR Bible.
Though the Harley-Davidson
FXR may have been missing
from dealerships for over
twenty years, that doesn’t mean
there isn’t a lively interest in
the bike - one that many people
think is one of, if not the best
machine Harley ever made. If
the number of clubs and
Facebook sites dedicated to the
FXR is any indication, the old
bike is not only alive and well,
but back in vogue.
Casual riders and hard core FXR
enthusiasts will find the book
both entertaining and
informative. The front section
includes a series of short
chapters: history, year-by-year
changes, the FXR frame,
electrical issues, drivetrain
options (i.e. Twin Cam), and
planning a complete build.
The heart of the book is a series
of detailed features on a wide
variety of mostly modified FXRs.
Starting with the Shovelheads,
everything is here from Café
models to asphalt ripping Twin
Cam powered race bikes, to
over-the-top FXRTs. And yes,
there are a few Dynas as well.

Recent new products from Twin
Power USA include ignition coils
for Indian models, magnetic oil
filters and premium engine oil.
