One Monster Of A Clutch
Baker Drivetrain's King Kong Klutch is known for its ability to handle the increased power of big-inch motors, but it is now making a name for itself from the easy clutch effort it promotes. The King Kong Klutch has a tremendous gripping ability that doesn't rely on hard spring tension, which can be heavy on the hand. The light, slipproof clutch effort heavily benefits anybody who is subjected to stop-and-go traffic.

Ditch That Case Of The Shakes
High-speed wobbles will be a thing of the past after installing Terry Components' Ultra Ride stabilizing system for H-D touring models. The Ultra Ride kit connects the powertrain to the frame by adding stabilizing links. The links allow the drivetrain to move freely in a forward motion and eliminate problematic, side-to-side movement. This kit is designed to fit and improve the ride quality of '93-'08 Road King, Road Glide, Ultra and Police touring models.

Full Circle Braking
360 Brake has just released their newly redesigned 360-degree brake system, which is completely contained in a 5-inch hub that mounts around the axle. With this setup, both front and rear wheels can have an extremely clean appearance-it looks like there are no brakes at all. The circular piston and pads are activated by hydraulic pressure, which delivers 360 degrees of braking pressure to the rotor.
