Attention advanced FI tuners and turbo installers!
DAYTONA Twin Tec will be continuing their series of popular fuel injection and tuning seminars at the V-Twin Expo in February.
Timed for the early risers, Kevin Baxter, the company's Technical Service Manager, will be instructing an advanced fuel injection tuning seminar from 7:30am (until 9am) on Saturday February 7th.
Anyone interested in attending is asked to email Allen Alvarez (allen@daytona-twintec.com) for full details.
Aimed at show attendees who are proficient in fuel injection tuning and computer operation, the seminar will be directed at those tuners who are using Daytona Twin Tec products and who "are serious about tuning", according to Kevin.
"It is not for those who are only interested in plug and play systems as this seminar is aimed at engine builders, racers and any tuners who install pro-chargers or turbo systems.
"It will also be of use to anyone who has tuned with competitive products and had problems with fly-by-wire. Any show attendees who are not yet very experienced in fuel injection, or are just looking to start out, should come by our booth during show hours for a more personal general system overview."

Tulsa dealership celebrates 100 years
MYERS-Duren Harley-Davidson dealership, in Tulsa, celebrated 100 years in business in October with a series of events including a media and local celebrity event, a community party and culminating with its annual Fall bike show. The anniversary makes it the oldest H-D dealership in the state.
“I think it proves there are loyal customers here in Tulsa. They’re loyal to Harley-Davidson and loyal to Myers-Duren, and we look forward to serving them for many more years to come,” said Johnny McClanahan, the owner’s son and General Manager. “I never dreamed Harley-Davidsons would be this popular. The demand is just continuing.”
In 1912, Ward and Virgil Eby opened a bicycle and Excelsior motorcycle shop in Tulsa. The dealership was then gained the Harley-Davidson line in 1914. The Eby brothers sold it in 1949 to Glen E. ‘Dutch’ Myers. Then in 1977, in a rare event, a woman bought the dealership. Reba McClanahan, a former high school teacher and bike rider, bought the store with her then-husband, Lowell Duren. After they divorced, Reba kept the business, remarried, and her sons Johnny and James McClanahan helped her run it.
In 1998, Reba moved the dealership from 8th and Utica into a 20,000sqt custom-built Art Deco showroom at 48th and Peoria in the historic Brookside District.
Her focus is the same today as it was in 1977- solid customer service and a family atmosphere. The store also encourages women to own and ride Harleys. They offer Harley-Davidson accessories, clothing and maintenance, and are the only Harley dealership in the State of Oklahoma to offer Motorcycle Safety Foundation riding classes.
“We want your business, your kids’ business and your grandkids’ business. We’ve seen a lot of generations of families riding over the years,” says Johnny McClanahan, “We want our customers for the next 100 years. We want our customers for life.”

New parts launched by Küryakyn
KÜRYAKYN has launched a new range of parts and accessories that expands its existing range of parts for Harley-Davidson applications.
A first for Küryakyn is its new multi-purpose driver and passenger backrest, which includes a luggage rack system. When fitted to the bike it can be changed from driver to passenger use without the need for tools. Fixed mounts are available for a range of applications and these include ’97-’12 Electra Glide, Road Glide, Street Glide, Road King and ’03-’14 Softail Heritage and Deluxe models.
A second backrest option from Küryakyn is its plug-in driver backrest, which installs using the existing fender bolts on ’97-’14 Electra Glide, Road Glide, Street Glide and Road King models with one-piece slotted seats. The contoured, upholstered backrest comes with a removable back pocket and tool-less height adjustment and removal.
To remove the black plastic stock license plate mount on CVO Road Glides and Street Glides, Küryakyn is producing a chrome mounting back plate that works with either its curved LED lighted frame or curved LED lighted tri-light frame. Both of the LED options are plug-and-play and the mount fits ’09 CVO Road Glides, ’10-’12 CVO Street Glides and ’12 CVO Road Glide Customs.
In order to dress up the bike’s engine, Küryakyn has spark plug and head bolt covers available. They feature a stepped and slotted design with faceted edges that catch and reflect light. Available in chrome, wrinkle black and gloss black, the covers fit ’99-’12 Electra Glides, Road Glides, Street Glides, Road Kings and ’09-’12 Trikes.
Among the lighting options available from Küryakyn are the Phase 7 LED headlamps and passing lamps. Said to offer improved visibility at a fraction of the cost compared to HID or incandescent headlamps, the Phase 7 lights utilize a complex reflector design while providing the appearance of a traditional headlamp. An impact resistant polycarbonate lense with chemical and scratch resistant non-yellowing coating is used, and the lights meet all applicable DOT, FMVSS or SAE requirements. The ECE-approved Phase 7 lights fit Electra Glides, Street Glides, Road Kings, Trikes and FLST models with 7in headlights and the Dyna Switchback and ’05-’14 H-D models with 4-1/2in passing lamps.
New lighting options from Küryakyn continue with the ECE-approved Torpedo LED lights offered as universal indicator and run-turn-brake lights. The torpedo-shaped housing measures 70mm long with a 45mm diameter, and comes in two versions. Single-function amber versions are designed to serve as turn indicators either up front or on the rear. Multi-function versions are designed for rear use only and feature three independent red and amber circuits that allow the units to function as ECE-approved rear position lamps as well as turn and brake indicators.
All Torpedo sets are available in chrome or matt black finishes with clear lenses and utilize M10-1.5mm x 25mm mounting studs for installation.

Fat Stem Twin Cam valves
KIBBLEWHITE’S latest valves are its Fat Stem design for Twin Cam applications.
The introduction of the new valves comes as the result of reports that some later model H-D Twin Cam heads using 7.0mm valves may have a tendency to crack in the port end of the valve guide boss. The problem has been noticed on heads with the number 332 embossed on the cylinder heads.
To rectify this problem Kibblewhite is now producing its Black Diamond valves with plus .005in oversize stems for engine builders who need to re-establish correct valve stem to guide clearance, but do not want to take a chance on creating a crack, or worsening an existing crack by changing valve guides in the heads.
The oversize portion of the stem does not extend into the keeper groove area, so the OEM keepers may be used.

In addition the kits feature US-made, one-piece steel wrap fender kits, brake lines, HHI bolt-on calipers and true floating brake rotors in HHI designs or Renegade Wheel matching designs in 11.5in, 11.8in, 13in and 18in sizes.

Danny Gray IST seats
DANNY Gray Enterprises recently introduced the IST (Independent Suspension Technology) line of motorcycle seats, designed to eliminate the compression and shock the body receives from riding on a traditional solid seat pan.
Designed to still provide the hand-crafted look, quality and performance of an aftermarket seat, the IST product line is said to work by damping road impact at the two lowest bone points in the pelvis - called the ischial tuberosities, or ITs.
The company says that IST is seamlessly built into the saddle "like two little trampolines, positioned side by side within the seat. IST isolates the rider’s IT bones, cushioning them independently in reaction to the shocks and bumps of the road."
The IST line offers four models with multiple options for adding comfort and duration to their rides. The MinimalIST is the entry level IST product, available in vinyl or leather covering, with tailbone and stress relief, a narrow width and sized for a solo rider.
The BigIST is for the solo rider and is available in vinyl or leather, with tailbone and stress relief. It features a wider footprint, back support and is sized to accommodate a pillion. The BigIST is also available as a two-rider seat in a full touring style with tailbone and stress relief, and back suppor available in vinyl or leather.
The LowIST is a two-rider, low profile style seat available in vinyl or leather with tailbone and stress relief, and low and narrow styling that is cut down at the rear.
The TourIST is a two-rider seat in a mid-touring style with tailbone and stress relief and back support. The TourIST is available in vinyl, leather or with sweat-control Spacer Mesh Fabric and leather accents.
