Harley-Davidson Edge Cut Saddlebag Latch Kit | Motorcycle Black Chrome Replacement Cover 90200421

Andy — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 20:41:56 +0000

Let's say, hypothetically, that you're the type of person that really likes to keep adding accessories on your bike. Heck, that's why you keep coming back to look at reviews about accessories that you might be somewhat interested in right? What if you ran out of items to install on your rig, but still needed your accessory fix? That's when you start accessorising your accessories. Think of it as bedazzling your stuff, but not in a dumb or cheap way. The best way to go about this kind of self medication is to add a bit of chrome to something un-chromed, like something that's plain ol' black leather.

We'll start by adding some chrome to your plain-Jane saddle bags with the Harley-Davidson Edge Cut Collection Saddlebag Latch Kit. These guys are made out of a rich black anodized aluminum that is machined to expose its rich highlights. These covers replace the original latch covers, but retain the stock hinges and locks to make installation easy. This kit includes enough goodies to do both the left and right sides. These will work on all 1993 and later models equipped with factory bags. Harley-Davidson may one day add an accessory on to this accessory for an accessory, so keep your eyes out.

Nighthawk Motorcycle Light Bulb | GE Headlight Platinum Replacement Pack of 2

Andy — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 20:39:59 +0000

Imagine you're riding throughout the night in less than perfect weather. You can see the rain streaming through the high beams and you're so focused on the road that you don't take the time to wipe the rain off of your visor. Your muscles are tense, your senses are on edge because you're not familiar with the particular road you're on. This is when perfect timing comes in and your headlight burns out. It's a really scary scenario, and one that I found myself in not too long after getting my first bike. Luckily, the low beam still worked. I slowed way down and took my time, but I was worried that any bump might cause it to burn out too, and I'd be stranded. The next day, I went out and bought a new bulb, and I was pleasantly surprised by these guys.

The NightHawk Platinum Replacement Bulb, from GE, actually does appear to give off 90% more light than a standard halogen. The light is pure white, too, and doesn't have that yellow tint that you see in a lot of bikes on the road. They're so bright that people might flash their brights at you thinking you've got them on, which I love because then I flash my brights and really blind them. I don't feel bad about it either; because I've only got one headlight, it ought to be as bright as it can. These bulbs are available in many wattage settings, so make sure you find the replacement bulb compatible with your motorcycle.

Air Force USAF Motorcycle Emblem | Hap Arnold Chrome metal Adhesive

Andy — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 20:27:31 +0000

My family has a pretty rich military background. My grandfather served during WWII, my father was in the Air Force, my uncle currently serves in the Navy, and my brother had a stint in the Army. Though I've never fought for this country, I'd like to think that I've helped to support the cause, and I'm proud of what my family has accomplished through their service. With that being said, I don't see any harm in showing off that pride by sticking one of these Chrome Plated Premium Metal Emblems on my bike.

It's officially licensed and Chrome Auto Emblems pumps these guys out so we can give them as gifts or slap them on our vehicles in support. It's just 3 inches wide and tall and affixes to almost any surface. It has a special automotive 3M foam tape adhesive that states that it'll last as long as you own the vehicle, which is good, because I'd hate for mine to fall off and peg some pedestrian in the head. Also, if you end up selling that bike, you can take it off without harming the paint.

Whether you're really into the Air Force or not, it doesn't hurt to show a little support for the people who put their lives on the line for us to sit around and read reviews.

Mini Bullet Motorcycle Turn Signals, Chrome Amber | Universal Aftermarket Blinker Indicator Set of 4 by KapscoMoto

Andy — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 20:55:41 +0000

Things that come in sets of four seem to really create a finished look. Think of your dining room table with four chairs, or a set of coasters. Even silverware typically comes in sets of four, forever reinstating the idea of the American perfect nuclear family, which is a family of four.

So then why, when buying accessories for your motorcycle, are things typically sold in pairs? Mirrors, especially, could benefit from being sold in sets of four, as you can never have too many. Tires could be sold in sets of four to promote good tire rotation habits, and turn signals should be sold in sets of four to create a uniform look that's sleek and stylish.

Well, it seems as though KapscoMoto finally heard my cries. This set of Chrome Mini Clear Bullet turn signals comes in an economically priced, conveniently packaged set of four. Now you can replace your OEM (possibly ugly) signals with ones that will look as good as they work. These fit all metric applications and are very universal. The clear lenses are contrasted with the ultra bright amber bulbs that are sure to get your turning motives noticed by others. These guys will bolt right on too; no modification is needed. The only down side is that these signals only have two wires to attach, so you won't be able to wire up extra running lights with them.

Motorcycle Lever Cover Kit w/ Fringe | Genuine Leather Accent, Stainless Steel Grommets, 17 Inch

Andy — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 20:39:43 +0000

What sets us apart from the other animals in the world besides our opposable thumbs? It's got to be our love for things of a frill-like nature. You know, like the fringe that is put on the sleeves of leather coats to make them look even more interesting, or the frilled edges of a ribbon on a birthday present which just seams to add that extra little bit of excitement to the whole package. Wouldn't it be great if you could add a little bit of that same style and flair to your motorcycle, too?

Well, one of the things that I really enjoyed about the old classic Indian and BMW motorcycles was the little finishing touches that you noticed, the little things that gave those bikes that much more personality. One thing I always noticed was the leather fringe that was strapped to brake and clutch handles. These Motorcycle Lever Covers, made by Hot Leathers, are a great example of that finishing touch you might add. They have 17 inches of fringe-flying fun and are made out of high quality, heavy-duty leather. The grommets are made out of stainless steel to ensure that there will be no premature ripping due to the wind. They come in pairs and are designed to fit any and all motorcycles out there.

Harley-Davidson Hitch Plug | Aluminum Orange & Black Shield Logo by PlastiColor

Andy — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 20:31:01 +0000

Where I come from, there's almost a mandatory law that states that if you don't have stickers or other accessories on your truck or car that states exactly what your political views are, or the brands of vehicles you enjoy, it's weird -- because if you don't have a bumper sticker or window decal of some sort, you stand out like a sore thumb. The good thing about it, though, is it makes it extremely easy to see with whom you might get along with as you stumble into a watering hole for a quick drink. It's safe to say there's going to be someone inside that has some good riding stories if they have a Harley-Davidson Full-Color Aluminum Hitch Plug in the back of their rig.

The PlastiColor Hitch Plug is officially licensed from Harley, and if you're not planning on towing anything for a while, it will look a lot better than just a hole back there. It's made out of solid metal, so you can count on it for years to come. It will fit both 11/4" and 2" receiver stems, and you can use your locking pin to keep it securely in place. If you need a way to show off your love for Harleys, this will surely help.

Harley Davidson Skull Flames License Plate Frame | Chrome Brass Engraved, UV Epoxy Protected

Andy — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 20:13:08 +0000

"Now, Franklin, why don't you tell me where your fixation on license plate frames came from?"

"Well, to be honest, Doc, I don't really know. I mean... my Pops always used to switch out the ol' plate frame on the family Bonneville. Ya know, one month we'd have one that said ‘I'd rather be fishing,' and the next month he'd stick one on that said ‘If you can read this, YOU'RE TOO CLOSE,' so I think maybe I kinda got it from him."

"Hmmm... Very interesting, Franklin. I think I know where the problem stems from. You seem to need that routine change, and yet you've admitted that you'll never change out the Chrome Car License Plate Frame from Harley-Davidson. Why?"

"Doc, you just don't understand. It's computer engraved and then filled with UV stable epoxy enamel to keep it looking brand new. The solid brass frame is chrome plated and highly polished to keep it shiny forever. It even comes with chrome caps to fill the screw holes so you can't tell how it's mounted. Plus, my love for Harley doesn't change, so why should my license plate frame?"

"Well Franklin, I can see where you're coming from, but I'm still going to have to give you a prescription for mental instability. Please see the nurse on your way out."

Valhalla Neck Brace For 360 MX Motorcycle Protection | Go-Kart Racing Support, WKA Certified

Andy — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 20:19:45 +0000

The Team Valhalla Neck Brace / Support Kart is designed to protect that wonderful neck of yours in many ways. First of all, this brace is approved for use in the WKA (World Karting Association), which is the world's largest sanctioning body for the world of go-kart racing. That pretty much says that this brace is going to keep your neck from snapping like a twig as if Steven Seagal snuck up behind you to take you out of commission.

How does it protect your neck so well? Well, its components are constructed of foam that is much denser than the normal neck collars currently out on the market. This instantly creates less head movement in the event of a crash. The braces of the core piece are designed to help control the rear hyper-flexion (the movement of your noggin) but still allow you to move your head side to side without any hinderance from the brace. If at any point your helmet comes into contact with the brace (in the event of a crash), the brace will transfer the energy from your neck onto the your upper torso area (which is much more resilient to stress than our necks).

While the Team Valhalla Neck Brace can't possibly stop every and all injuries that can occur, just having the added protection should make you feel safer out on the road.

T-Bags Motorcycle Windshield Bag for Harley-Davidson Electra Glide | Waterproof Black PVC TB3200WBP

Andy — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 20:10:18 +0000

Before all this GPS being able to get mounted to the handle bar nonsense, the only way I had a map of where I was riding to was by taping a MapQuest printout to the inside of my windshield and hoping that it would stay put. Actually, now that I think about it, I used that area in front of the windshield to haphazardly store many items in which I hoped wouldn't disappear because of a bump in the road or a sharp turn. Well, the unfortunately named T-Bags designed a windshield bag that makes the best out of that extra space.

There are three streamlined pockets that can fit various small items, such as your cell phone or iPod, as well as house keys or even a little bit of spare change. The whole thing is made out of tough embossed PVC, which is waterproof and has been treated with UV inhibitors for protection from fading due to the sun. Installation just takes a couple of minutes, and this windshield bag will fit on all 2003-2009 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Classic/Standard/Ultra models. Best of all, this windshield bag doesn't look disgusting when it's hooked up, and you probably won't even notice it from the front.

Long Stem Motorcycle Mirrors Kit | Hoosier Garage Aftermarket Mirror for Clockwise Thread

Andy — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 20:41:02 +0000

How many times have you gotten on a bike and adjusted the mirrors over and over again, only to realize that the only way that you're going to be able to see behind you is to shift your shoulders to either side when you want to take a peak? It's not only annoying, but it could also be a little dangerous in an emergency situation. It boggles my mind why most motorcycle manufacturers don't already have longer or wider mirrors installed as stock, purely for the safety aspect. I know it might look super sleek and stylish if you've got a 10 -inch mirror sitting out to the side, but I've always thought it was better to see something coming.

If you've looked for other mirror alternatives but still can't find something that can allow you to see behind your shoulders, you might check out these Long Stem Motorcycle Mirrors made by Hoosier Garage. These mirrors have a 7-inch stem with a 6-inch-long mirror (making it over a foot long in total reflecting length). It's also a little wider than stock at 3¾ inches. They have a 10mm clockwise thread, which means they'll work in many bikes, but not for Yamahas or other bikes with reverse threading on the right-hand side. The stem is chromed steel, and the mirror housing is ABS plastic.
