AMD Magazine presents a round-up of vendor news with the focus on products and brands available through the Drag Specialties sales team … Andrews Products: The hot news this year from the Mount Prospect, Illinois based manufacturer is of four new cam grinds for the M-8 Tourers - offering stock replacement and high-performance upgrades for improved horsepower and torque right in the sweet-spot of the rpm range where riders need it. As featured in AMD Magazine recently, Drag Specialities are also stocking Andrews cams for ‘37-’48 U, UL and ULH Big Twins. Similar to the original stock cams, the lobes have been redesigned using modern computer cam design and smoothing techniques; www.andrewsproducts.com Custom Cycle Engineering: One of the founders of the V-twin aftermarket, the Oceanside, California based manufacturer brings pedigree and heritage to its ranges of triple trees, fork trusses, swingarm kits, motor mounts, dresser steering dampers and fork tubes – including titanium nitride treated DOM 1026 steel that has been centerless ground to create an outside diameter that matches OEM specifications. CCE has coverage for every Harley-Davidson fork tube model all the way back to 1949, with a large inventory of sizes from 4 under stock FL to 20 over stock FL; www.customcycleengineering.com S&S Cycle: Leveraging their technical support and involvement with the runaway success of Indian’s FTR750 American Flat Track Twins race series this season, S&S’ ‘Grand National’ branded 4” diameter slip-ons for H-D touring applications feature a high-flow baffle, removable dB reducer and aluminum end cap, available in chrome or ceramic black finish with fitment for 1995 through 2017 Baggers (including M-8 and Tri Glide trikes). 50-state legal on most touring models, S&S is one of the few exhaust manufacturers in the market to include a secondary stainless steel baffle (db reducer), allowing riders to tune for sound and performance. In additional news, their new 50- state legal ‘El Dorado’ performance exhaust system features their MK 45 muffler/header package for ‘09-’16 Harley touring models that ships complete with optimized and matched Power Tune headers and a set of 4.5” MK45 mufflers fitted with the latest S&S designed, proprietary high-flow cat technology; www.sscycle.com www.AMDchampionship.com AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE DEALER - OCTOBER 2017 19
