Le Pera: Recent new seat designs include the new 'TailWhip' and popular
'KickFlip' design for Dyna applications from which the 'TailWhip' has been
developed and which is additionally available in the company's Daddy Long
Legs fitment for taller riders. Still handcrafting all its seats at its North
Hollywood, California headquarters after more than 45 years as the market's
design leader, all 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; www.lepera.com
TecMate: Last year saw the market-leading battery diagnostics, maintenance
and charging specialist celebrate the 25th anniversary of its first OptiMate
brand charger. Since those early days TecMate has stayed at the forefront of
technology and riders' needs, responding to the ever-changing demands
being made on motorcycle batteries - including introducing one of the first
ever Lithium-specific chargers (2010). For founding partner, CEO and Chief
Technology Officer Martin Human it has always been "all about the ride,"
and he told AMD that "ours is a fast-evolving landscape. The proliferation of
consumer devices has brought new demands and opportunities, and the
proliferation of battery platforms has brought challenges and ever more
complex problems to be solved. We have saved millions of batteries since
1994 and expect to be saving millions more in the years to come;"

Maxima: Well known for its Oil-Change-in-a-Box kits, the hot news from the
Santee, California company is of the "unique and exclusive" PEAC
(Performance Enhancing Additive Chemistry) additive package, now included
in the company's 4T oils, including V-twin formulations. The PEAC
reformulation was designed to significantly improve performance in several
critical areas - engine cleanliness, clutch performance, and most importantly,
power and acceleration; www.maximausa.com

specialist include chromoly steel pushrods and a solid adjustable tappet kit
for Shovelheads and a slew of specialty 'must-haves' for M-8s including the

Performance Machine: Recent new products include CNC-machined forged
aluminum Raceline Series performance parts for Baggers, including
lightweight ABS/non-ABS version 'Assault' and 'Revolution' design wheels
that ship with 1" brackets to raise the front fender for proper clearance.
They feature the latest generation of PM Raceline hubs - lighter by a further
1.5 lbs each side (front) and at the rear (compared to its standard 'Image'
hub) for a 4.5 lbs total additional weight saving to that achieved by the way
PM cuts the wheels; www.performancemachine.com
S&S Cycle: Recent new products from the Viola, Wisconsin based home of
'Proven Performance' include the SuperStreet 2:1 exhaust system for the
new wide wheel Softails, 'Tribute' air cleaner kits (a stylish homage to their
vintage Two Throat system), and a choice of bolt-in 124 ci and 128 ci M-8
Big Bore kit 'Power Packages' - "the ideal combination of performance and
savings, designed to transform the M-8 without breaking the bank;"
