Tucker Rocky is distributing Puig’s new Pro frame sliders. Shown here are the ones for the 2009-to-2012 Yamaha R1. The sliders are made of high-impact nylon and have a wide surface. They feature a blocking system that prevents them from spinning around during sliding.

An interchangeable rubber end helps riders avoid injury to their knee and leg, and is available in different colors. The sliders come with instructions and do not require any modification. Suggested retail is $159, and a POP display is available.

The new S&S Super Stock Stealth air cleaner allows 1999-to-2012 Harley-Davidson Big Twin riders to get all the performance of the S&S design (including the air directional “stinger” cone in the filter) and hide it under their stock air cleaner. MSRP is $125.95. If customers own a 1993-to-1999 Harley with an Evolution engine, or a Sportster, they can still use the air cleaner but won’t be able to use their stock covers.

Which leads us to another S&S new product: Super Stock air cleaner covers. The Airstream cover is an updated version of the classic S&S teardrop. Bobber and Muscle covers offer a more custom look. All three styles come in chrome or “Black Jack.” MRSPs range from $79.95 to $139.95.

Repsol’s entire product lineup (including aerosols) feature a new highly visible color, as well as a re-engineered sealing system at the caps to prevent leakage. In addition to the color change, Repsol has switched to heavier plastic for its bottles. All one-liter bottles also have a new pop-up spout. The new packaging is a running change, meaning all part numbers will remain the same.

Rush Racing Products’ latest chrome slip-on mufflers are for the 2005-to-2012 Victory Hammer and Jackpot and the 2006-to-2012 Victory Kingpin and Vegas. The company also now offers chrome and black slip-ons for the 2001-to-2012 Honda Gold Wing. All these Rush slip-ons are available in a muffler-and-tip package program.

Speedway Motorsport Shelters, maker of retractable motorcycle covers, is a new Tucker Rocky supplier. Speedway customers ride their motorcycles into their shelter. They then lower a retractable waterproof cover. The shelter keeps out the elements while offering cross-ventilation to prevent condensation from occurring inside. There are two big windows on each side of the shelter. The shelters come in two sizes: Standard/Sport ($325.95 retail) and Touring Shelter ($425.95) for full-dress touring bikes. Speedway offers the POP display shown along with a promotional banner.

TTS Inc. will soon introduce a completely revamped version of its MasterTune system for Harleys.  Just one cool update will be a “flight control” feature that will allow customers to install the little device on the bike, take it with them, and then bring it back with a recording of what problems they had while riding. MSRP for the new MasterTune will be $445, only a little higher than the current version.

Von Zippers’ LoMax sunglasses will be available in late October. They feature 100 percent UV protection, impact-resistant polycarbonate lens, and silicone nose pads. They will come in four colorways: black gloss/vintage grey, black satin/vintage grey, tortoise satin/vintage grey, and FrostByte Black Green Glacier/Quasar Glo. The first three retail for $100, the other for $110. The black gloss model will also come with polarized lenses for $150. The sunglasses are made in Italy.

Willie & Max has responded to the growing popularity of bobbers with its Double Down Brown series of motorcycle luggage. The bags are constructed using a synthetic vintage brown leather with black hardware accents. The series includes a Large Saddlebag ($233.99 retail), a Tool Pouch ($45.99), a Compact Slant bag ($188.99), a Tour Trunk ($89.99), a Sissy Bar Bag ($48.99) and two Swing Arm Bags ($96.99 each, also available in black). The saddle bags have quick-release buckles and zip-off yokes. The tour pack and sissy bar bag also have quick-release buckles. All the bags have plastic reinforcing for shape retention.

Willie & Max also has a new hard-mounted Belt Guard Bag that comes in black, measures 11 inches by 5 inches by 2.5 inches, and retails for $133.99.

Xtreme Machine was displaying new “Xccessories” to match its Arson, Challenger, Reaper, Skullz, Stiletto and Turbo wheels. They include grips, pegs, horn covers, exhaust tips, bag latches and fuel and replacement caps. The grips come in chrome or “black cut,” with our without XM-branded rubber. The horn covers fits 1991-to-2012 Big Twin models and are available in chrome or black/black cut. The exhaust tips fit pipes made by Vance & Hines, Rinehart and Rush Pipes. The caps come in chrome or black cut and are direct replacements for stock Harley fuel caps on 1996-and-up models. The bag latches are also direct OE replacement and come in chrome or black/black cut.

Yoshimura’s latest products include Front Sprocket Covers for the 2010-to-2012 BMW S1000RR, the 2009-to-2011 Ducati 1198, the 2007-to-2009 Ducati 1098, and the 2008-to-2012 Ducati 848. They are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and have a black-anodized finish. They feature a carbon fiber backing plate and a laser-etched Yoshimura logo. MSRP starts at $175.

Also new from Yoshimura is the Mirror Hole Cap Kit for various sportbike applications. They are also CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and sport a laser-etched logo. Carbon fiber inserts reduce weight further. The caps come in a black- or clear-anodized finish. MSRP is $84.95.
