H-D Connect Compatible SLA 'MAX' - Power for the Biggest of Big Inchers Paris, France headquartered BS Battery has three battery options available for a wide selection of Harley applications - an OE replacement, an Upgrade and an UPGrade+. Speaking at EICMA (Milan) recently, owner Benjamin Sebban told AMD that "this isn't just a standard good, better and best offer, because even our OE replacement has improvements over the stock Harley battery it replaces. This is a Better, Excellent and Outstanding menu of power options that can get even the biggest inch engines started, time after time, and keep them running smoothly and reliably." The 12V BS BTX14L MF (Maintenance Free - also called a VRLA battery/Valve Regulated Lead Acid) is more than a simple OEM replacement. It is a sealed battery with "gas recombination" technology, which brings less maintenance with no water refilling needs. These batteries are supplied with an acid pack and would be activated by filling the acid before first use. The AGM construction (Absorbed Glass Mat) uses saturated absorbent glass (boron silicate) mats between the plates instead of a gelled or liquid electrolyte. It has up to a 12.6 Ah capacity (20 Hr), delivers 200 cold cranking amps, reduced plate sulfation, a higher life cycle (up to three times longer than conventional batteries), longer voltage hold and increased power and is maintenance-free because it does not need water refilling. Suitable for cold weather use, because it is sealed after filling, under normal operation there is no gas emission through the venting hole. The 'Excellent' in the BS range (the Upgrade battery option) is the ready-to-start 12V, 200 cold cranking amp BTX14L - SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) - a brand new 'Factory-Activated' line that is said to be maintenance-free, non-spillable and ready to install with zero gas emissions and extended life. Also an AGM and VRLA battery type, it offers multi- positional fitment versatility due to its environmentally friendly, spill-proof design, extreme vibration resistance, increased power and extended life. At the top of the range, the 'Outstanding' option is the Upgrade+ BTX14HL SLA 'MAX' 'Factory- Activated' AGM/VRLA that delivers 220 cold cranking amps with up to a 14.7 amp hours capacity (20 Hr). Featuring increased power, extreme vibration resistance, maintenance-free, spillproof, multi- positional fitment, extended life low discharge rate, and - the 'MAX' is H-D Connect compatible. All three options are OEM homologated.

The company's Good, Better and Best is an OE+ line, which is essentially OE replacement, but with improvements; the HP+ (High Performance Plus), which is aimed at upgrading street bikes to the max, and at the top of the range of options is the 'Race Series' - seriously enhanced performance for those who want to arrive before they've left! Seen here, Feuling's OE+ complete camchest kits for 1999 and up Twin Cams include all necessary components from top to bottom of the camchest conveniently packaged under one part number. These combination kits not only ensure individual parts are designed to work and function together, but to do so in total harmony - taking the guesswork out of the ordering process and guaranteeing the engine builder "maximum reliability, peak performance and the coolest engine/oil temperatures obtainable." The kits include the legendary Feuling high- volume oil pump, a high-flow camplate, a 42 choice of Reaper series camshafts (from the workhorse 525 for increased torque band width and fuel economy to the 574 - ideal for modified heads), hydraulic roller lifters, adjustable pushrods, Timken bearings, gaskets, O- rings, exhaust gaskets, ARP fasteners, washers, moly paste, Loctite and hardware. The included conversion camshafts update the old mechanical style cams and tensioners to the new hydraulic tensioner system, and the sprockets, hydraulic tensioners, chains and spacers needed for installation. These camshafts utilize the 99-06 inner cam journals, with the 07-16 outer cam journals allowing the use of the 07-16 camplates, oil pump, hydraulic chain tensioners and chain drive system. AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE DEALER - JANUARY 2020 Feuling says the results are cooler engine temperatures, cooler oil temperatures, increased oil pressure, quieter and smoother engine operation and an end to wet sumping, blow-by and oily air cleaners.
