Shield your face

Lisa Ballard — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:30:00 +0000

Lowbrow Customs now has a limited amount of NOS vintage bubble shields in stock. Available in assorted colors, these bubble shields will fit fit most any helmet with 3 top snaps (including Biltwell helmets as well as vintage 3/4 helmets) due to the sliding, adjustable button snaps. They are brand new in plastic, and look just like the day they were made. Due to sitting wrapped up for 30 plus years, they may have a bit of a strong plastic smell to them, but hang em on the wall in your garage for a couple weeks and you are ready to roll!

Two variations are available, the standard Bubble Shield and the Grand Prix Bubble Shield which features aluminum trim. Made in the USA.

The standard Bubble Shields are $18 and the Grand Prix Bubble Shields are $22, get one while they last! Secure ordering and world-wide shipping is available 24/7 from www.lowbrowcustoms.com.

Custom Cycle Control Systems Introduces One-Off Custom Handlebar Program

Lisa Ballard — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:00:00 +0000

Custom Cycle Control Systems Inc. recently announced their new one-off custom handlebar program. Now for the first time, CCCS can accommodate the most discriminating builder’s demands and build a set of bars custom designed to your specs for your bike. If you can “think” it, CCCS can build it. Climax Hidden Hand Control Systems produces by far the cleanest looking “self-contained” handlebar systems available.

The hand controls are completely concealed…All the lines, wires, and cables run through the bars and exit below the top tree. CCCS also has a wide variety of many different styles to choose from, ranging from old school drag bars to radical new styles such as the Rock Star. You can also incorporate a digital speedometer from either Wire Plus or Dakota Digital into your design. Additional features and benefits of a CCCS complete system include:

? 100% internal wires, cables and hoses

? All wires, cables & hoses come extra long so you can "cut to length"

? Hidden brake and clutch fluid reservoirs

? 7 micro switches (maintain all stock control functions)

? Controls are designed to work as good as the look

• 100% assembled and ready to install on the bike

? Convenient push pin accessibility to the internal throttle, and reservoirs (no special tools needed)

? Dual Cable Internal Throttle (easily accessible)

? EZ Pull Throttle Lock

• Install Kit (includes everything necessary to complete the job…hydraulic fittings, relay, bleeder bolt, fill funnel, throttle cables/ends and ferrules)

All CCCS handlebar systems are CNC machined from extruded billet aluminum, manufactured right here in the USA and are available in either luxurious show chrome or black anodized finishes. Bars can also be polished or powder coated gloss black. There are six styles of grips to choose from, or we can also modify most other grips. Please visit www.accutronix.com or www.xoprodox.com for more grip choices. Please allow at least 6-8 weeks for delivery. Call us with your ideas.

Lighting Rod Motorcycles now carry Braille

Lisa Ballard — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:30:00 +0000

Lighting Rod Motorcycles have just obtained a new dealership for the BRAILLE Brand of battery’s. These battery’s are most known for their use in the auto racing industry and are known to be the strongest battery’s available for their class. We use these battery’s on our custom bikes and have found that they solve the problem of sluggish or strained starting on big inch ( 100ci and above) engines using the average 300 CA battery’s available at most shops.

For example, the BRAILLE B14115, which is 5.8"L X 3.4"WE X 5.8"HE, 11.5lbs Offers up a Huge 904 Pulse Cranking Amps (PCA) for 10 seconds @ 80F. This battery is small enough to hide in small area’s on custom bikes, and comes with a 1 year free replacement Warranty. We know this battery will solve many problems for the custom bike builders out there and we offer this battery for the retail price of $149.95 + SO/HE. This battery is now available through www.lightningrodmotorcycles.com
