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.

Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Cover, Touring | Elastic Fit w/ Waterproof Windshield Liner

Andy — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:01:39 +0000

There are motorcycle covers, and then there are motorcycle covers. What's the difference, you ask? Well, I've seen "covers" that are made from a 10-year-old bed sheet. Not really going to protect that investment of yours, right? Another common "cover" is the good ol' 10'x10' blue tarp. Sure, it'll keep the rain from hitting your paint, but throw it over a hot exhaust and you'll melt that plastic like a glob of butter in a frying pan. If you're going to put the money into a nice motorcycle, you should put a little into the cover designed to protect it correctly.

That's where this Harley-Davidson motorcycle cover comes in. It's specifically designed to fit all touring models (except for the trike) and features a protective windshield liner as well as a securing strap. It also has elastic edges to help get a snug fit, and even a convenient storage pouch. It's made out of 300 denier fade-resistant polyester and has urethane-coated material as well as double-stitched seams to provide excellent waterproofing. Along with the exhaust heat shields, this cover is vented to keep weird stuff from incubating under the cover. It's not as cheap as a tarp, but it will look a lot nicer and do a better job.

Xelement Motorcycle Short Harness Boots | Lug Sole in Black, Brown Leather w/ Goodyear Welt

Andy — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 20:06:32 +0000

If these boots were made for walking, they probably wouldn't make very good motorcycle boots. I'm not saying that they're uncomfortable to walk in, but I would suggest breaking them in a little bit before walking a marathon in them. My experience has always been that if you don't take the time to break in your gear, well, you're not riding your bike enough. That could be said for any sport though, really, but back to the boots. Boots are important, and these ones will do the job nicely.

The Xelement Short Harness Boots with Lug Sole are made from heavy-duty full grain leather. They're 8 inches high, which is nice if you're not the kind of person who likes having motorcycle boots riding all the way up your calf. They use the Goodyear Welt Construction method, which basically means that they'll last longer and be more comfortable the more you break them in. The upper leather is oil tanned to give it that classic leather boot look. The lug sole is a neoprene oil-resistant material, which will help make sure that your foot doesn't slip out from under you if you hit an oil spot at a traffic light or stop sign. They're available in most standard sizes, too.

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.

Jafrum Motorcycle Sissy Bar Bags | UV Treated Waterproof PVC, Black Faux Leather

Andy — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 20:02:30 +0000

Give a man a fishing pole and he can spend all his time at the river bank casting the line, but hand him a sissy bar bag and he can buy a fish at the store, carry it on his motorcycle, and cook it at home. I'm pretty sure that's how the old saying went, but if not, I think it's as true today as the other quote was to its day.

Jafrum makes this Motorcycle Sissy Bar Bag so you've got one more spot to cram your goodies in. Besides being made out of "Leather Like" PVC material (nice because it's UV treated to not fade and water-proof) it attaches to the sissy bars via a hook and loop system, keeping it securely in place for your travels. The main bag dimensions are 14 inches long by 12.5 inches high and 7 inches deep. The two side pocket dimensions are 5.5 inches long by 8.5 inches high and 3 inches deep, which basically gives you over 1500 square inches of item storability (which I know isn't really a word, until now). It has quick release buckles as to bring it in with you and rain flaps that, well, keep the rain out. I believe they're available in every color you like, as long as that color is black too.

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."

River Road Laredo Leather Gloves | Men’s Cruiser Motorcycle Black Riding Glove

Andy — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 20:05:21 +0000

Let's do some word association:

I'll say a word and you say the first thing that pops in your head. First word: "Road Rash" (you probably thought of "Ouch"). Second word: "Naked Leather" (maybe you thought of a shaved cow running through a busy mall?). Last word: "Protection" (perhaps an image of an army tank came into mind).

So what do we learn from this exercise? We learned that you guys have an over-active imagination, and that "naked leather" is a fun word to say even if it doesn't involve shaved cows.

The River Road Laredo Men's Cruiser Glove is designed for the motorcyclist on a budget. It's made out of genuine naked cowhide leather, which is leather that is generally smooth on one side and slightly rougher on the other. There's a gel pad located in the palm area that is designed to add extra protection in the event of an accident, but also to provide protection from shaken nerves on your hands on longer rides. Essentially, the gel absorbs some of the vibration from the handlebars to make your hands less shaky. The adjustable wrist strap is used to tighten the gloves on and keeps them in place. The Laredo gloves are available in X-Small up to 3XL.

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.

Draggin’ Jacket, Kevlar Denim | Men’s Motorcycle Jeans by Fasst, Long Sleeve Pre-Shrunk Cotton

Andy — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 20:07:10 +0000

Let's say, hypothetically, that I'm a big Walker, Texas Ranger fan strictly because of the jacket that Chuck Norris wears throughout many episodes. You know which one I'm talking about, right? The denim jacket in which Norris wears holds all the secrets of the roundhouse kick itself. So, logically I feel like if I owned a denim jacket, I too could be as cool as the Texas Ranger. Well, maybe not that cool, but at least slightly cooler than I was before.

Fasst makes the Draggin' Motorcycle Jacket for all you denim lovers out there. Unlike leather, which can get hot and uncomfortable at times, the Draggin' jacket is made out of 100% 14.5-ounce cotton denim with 13.5-ounce Kevlar in the shoulders and sleeves for tough protection in case you need it. It features a two-button waist adjustment, button cuffs, and longer sleeves to make a comfortable fit. There are six inner pockets, two button-flap chest pockets and two outer slash-style pockets to keep all of your goodies. The collar can be snapped down to prevent annoying flapping, and there is a removable throat closure that keeps out the cold air. These denim jackets are pre-washed and pre-shrunk and made in the USA.
