From the design studios of legendary Dublin, California based Ness Enterprises and available for dealers worldwide, the Ness ‘Method’ line runs from performance air cleaners and handlebar dampening kits to risers and fork braces.
The company’s patent pending forged billet aluminum ‘Method’ clear series performance air cleaners feature a polycarbonate window allowing you to view the internal working of the air intake system. The forged billet aluminum backing plate includes the patented Ness internal hidden breather backing plate technology, eliminating the need for external hoses or hardware for a virtually closed loop system.
The polycarbonate window is coated with proprietary films that prevent oil adhesion, yellowing, or marring from engine oil or UV exposure. The radius air inlet provides unobstructed airflow into engine and a washable and reusable high performance black, pre-oiled cotton gauze filter optimizes flow and filtration; recharge kits are available separately.
They are available in chrome, black anodize with contrast and all black anodize finish; each kit includes backing plate, forged filter housing, clear polycarbonate top, filter, gaskets and necessary hardware.
Fitments include ’08-’16 and ’15-’17 FLST (excluding FLSTB), ‘00-’17 Twin Cams (except Fly by Wire), ’88-‘18 XL Sportsters and 2017 and up M-8 models.
Engineered and tested to eliminate flex in the stock fork assembly, the high strength ‘Method’ forged fork brace has been “meticulously CNC machined to perfection” and upgrades the look of the machine while increasing stability at both high and low speeds. The forged construction eliminates flex in the fork assembly, the race inspired design installs without disassembly of front end, available in chrome or black anodized finish.
New for 2018, the ‘Method’ riser line is CNC machined from forged billet aluminum for reduced weight and maximum strength. Machined windows and accent pockets reduce weight and add to the clean, aggressive styling.
The CNC machined recess on the bottom of the riser eliminates the need for a top cup washer on the handlebar dampener kit for a cleaner look and more positive feel. It has a 1” clamping area and additional billet spacers and hardware are included with each riser kit to give the option to accept factory gauge mounts with 4.25” mounting hole. Available in 10”, 6” and 2.5” in black or chrome.
Ness also has a full line of adjustable handlebars and handlebar clamps that allow the bar to be adjusted precisely to the owner’s riding style.
Generally considered a “must” when changing to aftermarket handlebars or risers, the Ness handlebar dampening kit uses proprietary polyurethane bushings, inner steel sleeves and heavy duty chrome cup washers that do not bend or distort to eliminate handlebar flex and add a more positive and rigid feel to the handlebar while isolating vibration.
A flush mounting kit option uses 303 stainless steel cup washers that have been polished to a chrome-like finish, available with coarse or fine thread.
