KUSTOM Tech has expanded its line of vintage styled aluminum and brass parts.

The aluminum Spinner style front hub is machined from solid billet and drilled for 40 spokes. The 1140mm width hub is supplied with 3/4in bearings and does not accept a brake disc.

The same Spinner hub is also offered built-up into a complete 21in front wheel featuring brass spoke nipples for those who do not want the trouble of having a wheel built.

A line of Old School styled pegs and grips are available from Kustom Tech, which feature a fabric tape covering and spiked brass end caps. The grips fit 1in handlebars and are offered for use with internal or external throttles. The matching pegs fit all OEM style 7/16in female mounts.

The Nostalgia style air cover, in aluminium with a brass fin, fits CV and S&S Super E and G carbs. The rear mounting plate is machined to mount the cover either vertically or horizontally.

For more information, contact Pro-Street Cycles.

A biker is riding by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his bike, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.

A reporter from the SUN has seen the whole scene, and addressing the biker, says, “Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I ever saw a man do in
my entire life.”

“Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.”

“Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist from the SUN and tomorrow’s edition will have this on the page one.
What brand of motorcycle do you ride and what political party do you support?”

“A Harley Davidson and I vote for the British National Party,” replied the biker.

The journalist leaves.

The following morning the biker buys The Sun to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads on page one:
‘BIKER GANG MEMBER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH.’

BAKER Drivetrain has created the F6R reverse kit for 2007-2008 factory Cruise Drive six-speeds to meet the demands of an aging demographic of Harley riders. The F6R provides a reverse gear which is especially useful for riders of large touring bikes, side cars, trailer users and trikes who find it difficult to push a bike backwards.

Lehman Trikes adopted the technology for its Harley-Davidson three-wheel motorcycles and now, the F6R is exclusively distributed via Lehman Trikes and Baker Drivetrain.

Reverse is selected by moving the foot shift lever. Down shift into 1st gear, engage the electric safety switch near the handle bars and down shift again to select reverse. Up shift into 1st after completing the reverse maneuver to continue down the road.

Internally, the shift drum indexes to select reverse. The drum inherently functions as an interlock and makes it impossible to select reverse and another gear simultaneously.

The F6R is over-designed to make it durable under all conditions. Reverse gears and dogs are fully case hardened to HRC58-62 making the F6R as durable in reverse as it is in forward gears. Reverse gear ratio is 4.98:1. This compares to the 1st gear ratio of 3.34 making it 45 percent shorter than 1st gear.

The system is compatible with the Baker F6F which reduces 5th gear noise, and is available with cable type or hydraulic clutch actuator side cover. Baker offers an install service on the F6R on low mile six-speed gearsets sent to it for a nominal charge.
