New Motorcycle Products to Start the Year, Part 4
We ran part 3 yesterday and here’s the last installment of our 2017 New Products list with which to customize your bike.
Wheelies, burnouts, and basic hooligan riding are what these FXR seats are all about. RSD used our standard foam in the seating area for comfort and denser foam behind the rider for extra support when popping wheelies or standing on the seat. RSD built this seat for our own FXR, and it works great on solo missions or with a passenger. They bolt directly on and the use of the stock FXR hinge is eliminated. The ergonomic seat shape keeps the rider seated firmly and comfortably. While the Traction has the added function of gripper material, the Boss has a detailed triple stitch, hand-sewn lines and raised perforated diamond pattern coupled with unique distressed vinyl. All RSD seats are proudly made in the USA by Mustang.
Controls and comfort go hand in hand; it’s very difficult to have one without the other. The RSD line of hand and foot controls address both while keeping it stylish. From RSD’s innovative new Radial Master Cylinders, to replaceable and ergonomically correct Rental rubber-wrapped grips with matching foot pegs to its adjustable levers, RSD has got you covered. A race driven Radial Mount Master Cylinder with a built-in reservoir that works every bit as good as it looks. This master delivers stunning performance and feel for any bike without the need for an external reservoir and with classic RSD styling. With fully adjustable levers and clearance for stock switch housings, this versatile system will drastically improve your brake system from the master cylinder down.
New from Rowe Electronics, the PDM60+ features proven PDM technology and stellar service from Rowe Electronics, with 80-amp total capacity and Bluetooth programming and control. This unit has increased inputs for more switched circuit control. Available summer 2017 in your choice of the original PDM60 or the more advanced PDM60+ to power and protect your electronic accessories.
Whether you’re Hooligan racing or just want more power, the S&S Hooligan kits for 2000–2017 Harley-Davidson Sportster models will give you an edge on the competition. Boost that 883 to 1,200cc or your 1,200 to 1,250cc. Bolt-on big-bore kits mean easy installation with no machining and no rebalancing. S&S bolt-in cams and premium tappets make the most of the added displacement. The kit uses the stock heads, pushrods, and fuel system. The Hooligan is available in silver or black powdercoat that matches your stock finish.
The Xpipes is the newest and gnarliest creation yet at SikPipes. Just released for the upcoming riding season, this is a very versatile exhaust working on many different model Harleys with mids, forwards, or floorboards. Xpipes can be purchased in black, chrome, or raw stainless finish. With a few options to pick from, you can make your Xpipes fit your style.

The “Cantilever” front air suspension system is based off of the new 9-degree “Naked 9” raked triple trees for the FLH model bikes. Notice that all the suspension takes place on the legs; this allows to manufacture these legs for any kinds of bikes on the market as long as they have triple trees. Simply just turn down the diameter of the legs to what ever size triple tree your bike has. The front end has 6.5 inches of complete suspension travel and rides on our stainless-steel shocks with built-in adjustable damping. The legs, radial arm, and connecting rod are completely made out of solid T6 6061 billet aluminum, while the rockers are made out of 304 stainless steel. Tricky Air & Billet can manufacture these legs in custom lengths if needed.
This air filter kit, like Fuelpak, is made the Vance & Hines way: engineered and manufactured entirely in-house with an all-aluminum venturi to shape the air for improved flow and a race-inspired carbon-fiber cover for a distinctive design that is a perfect match for any exhaust system. Includes a high-flow washable and reusable air filter.
The Bagger Low Chubby has a 7-inch height when mounted on the bike and gives you about 15 inches of pullback while being 34.5 inches wide (grip to grip), and like all Chubbys they are drilled for internal wiring. They are made with the same double-wall construction as all other Chubbys with 1.25-inch diameter tubing. Special care is taken in the manufacturing process to make sure the inside corners are smooth so the electrical doesn’t get hung up during installation. Designed to lean you back on your ride and give you much more comfortable wrist angle then stock (works with stock cable lengths on 2014–later baggers). They’re available in show chrome, satin black powdercoat, or a raw finish. The Bagger Low Chubby has been designed to fit all H-D bagger models. All Wild 1 Inc.’s products are 100 percent made in the USA.
