Curved pipes no baffles?
Powerbraidz, an exciting new flexible exhaust baffle that fits into curved or radius pipes like Grumpys, Martin Bros, Samson and most other major exhaust manufacturers’ products.
Manufactured out of 304 stainless, Powerbraidz will last for years. Not only do they quiet a bike 10 to 15 db…they also increase horsepower and torque. They provide just enough back pressure to fine tune an engine…Great for fabricated or homemade pipes.

Wire Plus Powersports Electronics is proud to introduce their ’08-‘09 tear drop shaped seat post mounted system. This brand new system features a classic contemporary tear drop shaped chromed billet housing that mounts the power control module and ignition switch.
This assembly plugs into a pre-assembled harness that will be selected by the style of switches and turn signals used in your application. A new unique feature found on this seat posted mounted system shuts off just the front lighting when starting and leaves the taillights on for safety during nighttime starting. This puts less of a strain on the battery while starting and still provides the rider with “rear light” protection. This power control module has 3-15 amp breakers, a replaceable start relay and diagnostic LED’s which can be viewed through holes in the face of the housing.
The housing mounts to the seat post coil bracket on Big Twins from 1941 thru 1984 and custom frames using the same style coil mount. Available for stock style handlebar controls and includes auto-cancel/lighting control module to run rear turn signals as running lights, brake lights and turn signals or chopper style with Automotive start switch and pre-assembled harness for minimal system switches. (Can be used with or without turn signals) Auto cancel module sold separately on some systems. Available in black anodized or luxurious chrome finishes…Suggested Retail: $520.83. Reliability…Ease of Installation…and Quality all in One…Wire Plus!

V-Twin Wine!
Now here's a lethal combination, motorcycles and wine! In fact, V-Twin Zin is the name of wine started by passionate motorcycle riders, who were looking, like many of us, to make a living being involved in their world of passions; in this case motorcycles and wines. Several years ago they started the V-Twin Vineyards , and now produce several wines, amongst other, the V-Twin Zin wine. The V-Twin Zin is a wine best served with food prepared for BBQ's, or spicy food. In other words, real biker food. A bottle will cost you US$ 24. Or you could try the Bike Week Merlot at US$25, or Poker Run Zin, costing you US$24 per bottle. They also have several gift packages available. As you can see, these are wines you would not be ashamed about to bring to a biker BBQ.
