September 6-7, 2025
Legend Suspensions: New from the Sturgis, SD based manufacturer, the AXEO 47 mm inverted front fork cartridges bring race-style 'asymmetrics' to the CVO Road Glide with the choice of Performance or Comfort settings in one set-up. The external preload adjuster allows quick tuning for load and riding style, while the performance spring rate makes for agile handling without sacrificing comfort"; www.legendsuspensions.com
LA Choppers: Former Burly Brand, Progressive Suspension and Performance Machine, and latterly Bitubo suspension man Sean Delshadi is now the Marketing Manager at LA Choppers; www.lachoppers.com
RWD V-Twin: Dustin Boyko, formerly of LAChoppers/Tolemar Group has bought Russ Wernimont's V-Twin fenders and shock absorbers programs. Legendary fabricator and designer Russ Wernimont has long been known for his high-performance suspension systems and premium Harley-Davidson fenders and accessories. "With decades of experience and a deep understanding of rider needs, Russ built a brand that earned respect throughout the V-Twin community." Dustin Boyko brings over 15 years of experience in the Powersports industry. Prior to this acquisition, Dustin's vision for RWD V-Twin focuses on "expanding product offerings, continuing to provide great customer service, and growing the brand's market presence"; www.rwdvtwin.com
Drag Seats: Available in an optional extended reach version, the Minneapolis-based manufacturer's new 'Freedom' touring seat for FL models features a 6" tall driver support with unique styling. The seating area is contoured for maximum comfort and is made narrow up front for better leg clearance. The seat works with the separately available EZ Glide frame-mounted receiver mechanism to accept driver backrest assemblies; www.dragspecialties.com
KB Pistons: Carson City, Nevada-based United Engine and Machine (UEM) KB (Keith Black) brand performance pistons are made in cast hypereutectic 390 and forged 4032 low expansion alloys. For V-twin applications the 4032 is preferred for high performance or high compression applications and offers offset wrist pins for quiet engine operation. All applications now come equipped with coated skirts for reduced friction between the piston and cylinder wall. The low expansion alloys allow for a tighter piston to wall running clearance, which aids in reducing piston rock and engine noise. The company's new "Super Duty Series" includes anodized top ring grooves and crowns along with Line2Line Adaptive Skirt Technology coating; www.uempistons.com
JIMS: The respected Camarillo, California based performance parts and tools manufacturer is now close to starting to ship its already award-winning FAT-6 bolt-in stock replacement transmission. First announced six months ago after more than 12 months of development work had brought them close, the FAT-6 is described as a "a rock solid, 'bolt-in' performance upgrade for the stock, O.E.M. six-speed transmission. With gears manufactured from aerospace grade 9310 American steel (known for its high core strength, toughness, hardenability and high fatigue strength) that have been tested up to 550 lbs of torque, the gear teeth are straight cut and have been increased up to 53% in width, when compared to stock gears, for additional load capacity and strength; www.jimsusa.com
