MGS Liquid Steel Fenders MGS Custom Bikes introduces its new Liquid Steel line. Using the same creativity that goes into the company’s award-winning custom motorcycles, this new line gives the builder a substantial foundation to work from. These fenders are spun from 12-gauge steel for excellent contours and fitment. They come in 10-1/2 through 15-1/2-inch widths with the radius-cut chain or belt relieved at no additional charge. Of course, any custom cuts are available upon request. For more information, contact MGS Custom Bikes at (661) 951-9878, or visit www.mgscustombikes.com.
Blasting Off The Blaster has earned a reputation among industry professionals and bikers alike as the most powerful and efficient motorcycle dryer available. With a body of steel and a powerful 4.0-peak-hp twin-fan motor, it blasts water off bikes in seconds, cutting drying time by 75 to 80 percent. It leaves no water spots or oily residue, prevents rust, and completely eliminates afterstreaking. The Blaster is also safer and more efficient than compressed air or leaf blowers.

Throttle Up Drag Specialties is proud to offer these new two-into-one exhaust systems. Each system uses high-flow, mitered-cut 1-7/8-inch headers with a machined inlet for added exhaust velocity and improved anti-reversion qualities. The fat, full-coverage 2-1/4-inch heat shields prevent bluing; an additional heat shield gives the header-muffler union a smooth, sleek look. A 4-1/2-inch megaphone-style muffler has a rich, deep tone, while the black-anodized billet-aluminum end cap uses multi-angled bell technology that provides quicker throttle response and substantially improved torque and horsepower. These exhaust systems are designed and built in the U.S. For more information, contact your local Drag Specialties dealer, or visit www.dragspecialties.com.

Gliding Along eGlideGoodies introduces the VW-1 vented windshield. The VW-1 vented windshield is eGlideGoodies’ most recent Electra Glide upgrade to assist in improving the rider’s comfort.

Just for Touring The touring-bike crowd has been asking for their own version of PM foot controls for years, and with the amazing popularity of these bikes, it looks as if PM has stepped up and created boards the way only PM can. Naturally, PM used a machined aluminum base, gave it the company’s own stylish shape, and topped it with a unique rubber pad. PM’s traditional forward controls have always featured nicely sorted shift and brake arms, and this set is no different. On the shift side, the company utilized its already proven Contour pedals and created supple, machined-aluminum arms (which can be used toe/heel or toe only). The brake side gets a matched arm and is topped with an easy-to-reach platform-style pedal with its own rubber pad. As you might expect, PM also created matched passenger boards for the rear. The boards are available in polished aluminum or chrome finish for most years of the H-D Bagger line, as well as the Heritage Softail.

A Foul-Mouthed Collaboration The pipes you have come to swear by are even more accessible to V-Twin enthusiasts. Doug Keim Creative Cycles’ (DKCC) incredibly popular L.M.F. (Loud Mother *ucker) and M.M.F.s (Muzzled Mother *uckers) exhaust pipes can now be fitted to Bourget motorcycles. The L.M.F. is down-and-dirty loud, featuring stepped headpipes merging into a huge outlet. But if you’re looking to avoid unwanted (and expensive) attention from law enforcement, the M.F.F. gives you the same wicked external appearance as the L.M.F. with a non-removable steel baffle. These pipes are made of heavy-gauge steel for durable strength and to reduce chances of discoloration if chromed. That means they can take whatever your bike dishes out-be it a Bourget, any H-D Big Twin model, and most custom applications (including right-side-drive models), as long as the bike has forward controls. DKCC’s L.M.F.s and M.M.F.s are available in raw finish, but full finish is available as a custom order.
