Barcelona has previously won the 125cc World 

Championship and twice captured the 250cc

REVISION DATE: 

8/18/2010 

Continuing with our profiles and introduction of key 

brands now sold in Europe by Parts Europe, in this 

issue we are featuring Moose Racing and its sister 

brand, Moose Utility Division. Moose got its start 

in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado almost twenty years 

ago when a Honda dealer got the attention of Parts Unlimited 

about the line of useful products for trail riders that he 

had created. Seeing the potential, Parts Unlimited acquired 

the line, brought it in-house and built it into not only one, 

but two powerhouse brands for riders of motorcycles, ATVs 

and UTVs.

Products carrying the Moose brand range from top end 

riding gear, as used by top international stars such as 

David Knight (who is seen on our front cover) to handy 

products that bolt on to two and four-wheel sport vehicles. 

A specialty of Moose Racing is the range of riding gear for 

many different types of conditions. From the heat of the 

deserts to cold and inclement weather, there is a Moose 

outfit perfect for whatever Mother Nature throws at you. 

There is also an in-depth line of Moose Hard Parts, with 

replacement parts that are engineered to be better than the 

stock OEM part, and are often priced lower as well. 

The Moose Utility Division (M.U.D.) offers a very diverse 

selection of accessories to upgrade a Yamaha Rhino or 

Polaris RZR, as well as snow plows and other winter related 

products. Be sure to check out the stories about the lines 

starting on page 18. 

Racing is in full swing this time of year and many Parts 

Europe riders are having a great season. For one, however, 

it is a season he hopes 2011 is a season he hopes he can 

forget. That rider is MotoGP star Dani Pedrosa. The young 

Repsol Honda rider suffered a broken shoulder late in the 

2010 season and he had worked hard in the off-season 

to get his body back into shape. Unfortunately, when the 

racing started this spring Dani felt pain and discomfort that 

he knew was not normal. Thus began a season of extreme 

highs and frustrating lows. Don’t miss the interview (starting 

on page 40) that photographer Andrew Wheeler conducted 

with Dani in the middle of it all. 

Some racers are having a very successful season. Namely 

Motocross racers Steven Frossard and Tommy Seale, who 

swept both classes at the French Grand Prix held in June. 

These two are outfitted in THOR gear this season, as are 

top runners such as David Philippaerts, Gautier Paulin, Max 

Anstie, and others. 

There are many brands represented in this issue. We hope 

you will take the time to read about the many products 

we have featured; Moose Racing, Moose Utility Division, 

Performance Machine, Pro-X, THOR, Feuling, Vance & Hines, 

Bobster, Drag Clutches, ICON, Drag Seats, Daytona Twin-Tec, 

Slime, Moto-Master, Cometic, Drag Batteries, Cables and Oil. 

Ride safe!

THOR Riders Sweep French MX GP 

Story by Glen Dempsey. Photos by CDS. 

THOR riders scored a double 

victory in the MX1 and MX2 

classes at round 5 of the FIM 

Motocross World championship. 

Yamaha Monster Energy’s Steven 

Frossard and ClS Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s 

Tommy Searle both won their maiden 

GP’s on French soil in front of 30,000 

spectators at the Saint Jean D’Angely 

circuit. 

Frossard’s 1-2 score had the partisan 

crowd on its feet as the 23 year-old 

rode a flawless first moto and a super 

hard-fought moto 2 to claim his first 

Yamaha Monster Energy’s Steven Frossard speeds to a MX1 moto victory at Saint D’Angely. 

ever MX1 overall victory. His Yamaha 

Monster Energy and THOR teammate 

David Philippaerts was arguably the 

fastest rider on the track and looked 

set to strike for the lead in moto one 

when he made a small mistake and 

went down, ending up having to settle 

for 3rd. A crash on the opening lap of 

the second moto ruined the Italian’s 

chances of a podium. A huge French 

welcome to Ben Townley saw the New 

Zealander put on a great show and on 

the final lap of moto 2 the kiwi was set 

for an amazing 4th overall finish when 

he crossed lines with Max Nagl and 

went down. Townley was unhurt in the 

crash, but retired from the event. 

Tommy Searle gave his French ClS 

Pro Circuit team more than enough 

reason to celebrate at their home GP. 

The gutsy Brit rode a brilliant second 

moto to move from 4th into the lead 

and secure his first GP overall win of 

the season. Searle was joined on the 

podium by fellow THOR racer, Gautier 

Paulin. The stylish Frenchman looked 

to be the GP winner at the halfway 

point of moto 2; however Searle’s move

Dutch Superbike rider Arie Vos continued his winning 

streak in June when he won the fifth Dutch

road-circuit at Hengelo in the Netherlands. The

from pole position and immediatly pulled away from the

immediately and pulled even farther away from the 

competition, ensuring yet another Dutch Superbike win.

Hengelo. In the first free practice on Thursday I had a fast 

pace and kept it all weekend long. After the starting lights 

went out I immediately found a good rhythm and could 

pull away first from Raymond Schouten and then from Chris 

Burns. The Moto-Master 5.5mm Flame brake rotors on my 

BMW S1000RR did the job perfectly as the street layout of 

Hengelo is much tougher on the brakes than the average 

closed circuit layout. I use SBS Dual Carbon pads, together 

with my Moto-Master 5.5mm racing Flame rotors and it 

proved to be the winning combination.”

Vendor Training at Parts Europe 

Story and photos by Bettina Antony 

Two days of first hand news: the first vendor training 

event saw nearly all Parts Europe reps gathering in 

Konz/Trier to learn more about the latest additions 

to Parts Europe’s inventory. 

Both reps and sales team members of Parts Europe were 

looking forward to the workshop’s start on Monday 

morning, May 2nd. It was a packed program with product 

presentations with Bel-Ray, a recent addition to Parts Europe’s 

portfolio, kicking off the training. The reps from many 

different European countries got insights in features and 

benefits of the complete line of high quality powersports 

lubricants. 

Further highlights, such as workshops by EBC Brakes and 

Moto-Master of the Netherlands 

attended the workshop with two 

motorcycles and a lot of sample 

products to give the Parts Europe reps 

practical training and information to 

forward to their dealers. 

A great reunion for many reps and 

Parts Europe sales team members, 

the vendor training saw nearly all 

European reps gathering at Konz/ 

Trier. From left are: Frank Gwosdz (PE 

sales tema), Michael Gampfer, Dimitris 

Chatziarapoglou, Jens Kloos, Frank 

Klinzmann and Thomas Kaeseberg. 

PMI Group Europe, completed the event and continued until 

evening. Well equipped with all new information and background 

knowledge to provide the dealers, the Parts Europe 

reps still had the chance to get more first hand information. 

With Muc-Off and Moto-Master, two more brands presented 

their products the next day. Reps and Sales Team members 

were absolutely enthusiastic about the whole event and 

showed their eagerness to pass on their new knowledge to 

dealers. 

For Parts Europe, vendor training and workshops with 

European reps have proven to be a valuable source of 

dynamic momentum for the whole sales force and an even 

more important source of information and know-how for 

Parts Europe dealers. 


Christian Johnson, Sales Manager of Bel-Ray, together with 

his colleague Gary Tagg, kicked off the vendor training with 

an extensive workshop on all relevant aspects, features and 

benefits of Bel-Ray lubricants. 

Parts Europe Purchasing Manager Ralf Kaduk (right) took the 

opportunity and offered a warehouse tour to Alex Trimnell and 

James Cramp of Muc-Off. Both were impressed by Parts Europe’s 

Muc-Off stock in the warehouse. 

Giovanni Napoleone, 

Dionigi Baldi and 

Maurizio di Mauro 

(Country Manager Italy) 

used the first morning 

to exchange some 

thoughts. 

Spanish Reps Visit Parts Europe 

Spanish Reps Franco Klinzmann and Ignazio Martinez 

came to Konz in March to meet with Gunther Hildebrandt 

and Frank Gwosdz, two V-Twin specialists of the 

Parts Europe sales team. For Frank, the meeting also 

had a personal note: “It’s always nice to welcome a friend. Franco 

and I have known each other for many years and we always look 

forward to seeing each other again!” 

Franco and Ignazio spent a few days at Parts Europe, investing 

a lot of work on information exchange and gaining extensive 

knowledge on new products for the Spanish market. Gunther, 

also a specialist for ICON gear, led the visitors through the inhouse 

exhibition at Parts Europe and presented the collection 

of ICON and Saddlemen products. He also enjoyed working with 

the two Spanish V-Twin enthusiasts; and, even more important, 

Gunther knows about the relevance for the very familiar V-Twin 

scene: “People in this scene know each other for many years and 

all over Europe! It is important to have a relationship of trust and 

reliability. Our dealers appreciate that we gained our knowledge 

in practice and all speak from long experience. They know they 

can rely on us!”

EVENT REPORT 

Dealer Hospitality at LeMans MotoGP 

Story and photos by Bettina Antony 

Parts Europe invited some of its best French dealers 

and sales agents to the Monster Energy Grand Prix 

de France at the legendary circuit of le Mans for 

the 4th round of the MotoGP season. It turned out 

to be a weekend of pure excitement. 

leading up to this event, Parts Europe-sponsored rider Dani 

Pedrosa won the bwin Grande Premio de Portugal. Dani 

explained to the guests during the weekend that the win 

was great and that he was most relieved to be fit enough 

again, coming back from his shoulder injury, to win races. 

(See more about Dani Pedrosa on page 40). 

Parts Europe’s Sales Manager, Jaimy Scevenels and Sales 

Manager France, Vincent Arnoult welcomed the guests at 

the Parts Europe lounge which was located right above 

the garage of Valentino Rossi overlooking the grid and pit 

lane. Saturday’s schedule was filled with some extraordinary

He took time away from his television commentary duties

Ouest Moto won the 

ride in the safety car. 

events for the guests starting with road race legend Randy 

Mamola giving some interesting insights to the world of 

MotoGP racing. 

After qualifying practice was over, Dani Pedrosa showed up 

at the lounge for a autograph signing session. When Dani 

also took the time to talk to the Parts Europe guests and 

answer a lot of their questions you could tell that this was 

going to be remembered as one of their best memories of 

the weekend. 

Before everyone enjoyed dinner, Randy Mamola took the 

guests on a paddock tour with access to some of the garages 

where the mechanics were making the final preparations to 

the race bikes. Everyone was fascinated with the technical 

details Randy had on the powerful machines and the latest 

technologies. 



EVENT REPORT 


On race day everyone was anxious to see if Dani Pedrosa 

would repeat his great performance of the last race again. It 

started out well when Pedrosa led the beginning of the race 

after a lightning start, but on lap two it was Casey Stoner 

who passed by for the lead. The Spaniard charged hard and 

stayed close for the first half of the race. When Marco Simoncelli 

was putting pressure on Pedrosa and tried to pass, both 

Hondas collided resulting into a nasty crash for Pedrosa 

Eric Doron (Paris Moto Est) and Carine Debeure (Paris Moto Nord) with Dani Pedrosa. 

Randy Mamola’s connections in the paddock allow him access most race fans can only dream of. He is seen here in the Tech 3 

Yamaha garage with a portion of the LeMans attendees explaining details about Cal Crutchlow’s MotoGP race bike. 

and unfortunately he sustained a broken collarbone in the 

incident. Stoner went on to win the race in front of Andrea 

Dovizioso and Valentino Rossi. 

This was the first time that Parts Europe invited dealers to a 

MotoGP event and based upon the excitement the dealers 

showed throughout the weekend it certainly will not be 

the last. 

Parts Europe’s French sales agents Denis Dufour and Didier Ternisien get 

as close to Dani Pedrosa’s Repsol Honda race bike as the crew will allow!

Moose Racing & Moose Utility Division 

Moose Racing is a long established company which is best 

known for making outstanding off-road equipment and hard 

parts for motorcycles and ATVs. But Moose Racing is so much 

more than just riding gear and hard parts. They are a company 

focused on dirt and all the extreme environments that come with off-road 

riding all over the world, whether it be racing motorcycles, ATVs, off-road 

or motocross, rallys, desert, dual-sport or Adventure riding, Moose Racing 

is there with gear and products to make your ride easier, faster and more 

enjoyable. 

Parts Europe sat down with Moose Racing General Manager Brad 

Kruckenberg to find out more about this unique company and how their 

products fit into the European motorcycle and ATV market. 

Parts Europe: What are the origins of Moose Racing? 

Brad Kruckenberg: The origins of Moose Racing came about as a result 

of a group of off-road enthusiasts who lived in Colorado. like most guys 

who ride in the dirt, they kept coming back from their rides and would 

discuss how they could make the ride more enjoyable by improving on 

the equipment they were using and soon they started brainstorming some 

new things. It all started with a modest array of hard parts and has grown 

into Moose Racing as we know it today. 

PE: How are Moose Racing Products developed, 

designed and brought to the market? 

BK: Products are brought to market in a number of ways. Sometimes we 

come up with a product idea and then source it to a vendor we are currently 

working with that we know can handle it. Sometimes our suppliers come to 

us with new product ideas and sometimes the idea comes from a customer 

and we run with it. The development process varies, but usually includes 

sampling and verification of pricing and margins. Once we get it to a point 

where it is ready to go, we get it set up in our system and formulate a 

marketing plan for introduction. There are two main product introduction 

timeframes we try to hit. One is NVP [The Parts Unlimited/Drag Specialties 

National Vendor Presentations] and the other is the Indy Show. We will also 

Go to nearly any off-road event, and you 

can bet that Moose Racing will be there. 

The first-ever Moose Racing catalog. 


e exhibiting at the Milan Show in the Parts Europe area. 

This is all backed up by inclusion in our catalogs, Parts 

Unlimited catalogs and various national media advertising 

campaigns. From there it is up to the best sales force in the 

industry to get the word out. 

PE: Moose Racing gear is famous for its diversity. Why 

make riding gear as extreme as Sahara and Monarch Pass? 

BK: We make products like Sahara and Monarch because 

there is a need. As you know from riding yourself, the best 

ride is the one you have just completed when all you can 

talk about is how great the conditions were and how much 

you enjoyed yourself. You can’t do that if you are hot, cold, 

wet or any other feeling that causes you discomfort. I don’t 

know what else I can say about that. It’s just that simple 

and it applies to hard parts as well as apparel. A good set 

of Subtank Handlebars that provide a superior ride are just 

as important as the Sahara Racewear that keeps you cool 

in the mid-summer heat. 

PE: What about Moose Racing Hard Parts and Moose 

Utility Division (MUD), how did they come into being? 

BK: like I said before, hard parts are where it all started. We 

have simply run with that program and added products 

as the industry grew. MUD is the same way. As the ATV 

and UTV markets started to blow up, people started to 

realize that OEM units were good, but could be so much 

better. A case in point is my own Honda 500 Foreman. It 

is an excellent machine, but ran just okay until I realized 

how good it could be with a jet kit, aftermarket air filter 

and other upgrades. Apparently some OEM manufacturers

PE: What are some of Moose Racing’s “best 

sellers” and biggest successes over the years? 


Moose Racing has specially designed their riding gear to withstand even the 

toughest elements. With gear like the Sahara and Monarch Pass, riders will 

stay comfortable, no matter how hot, cold or wet their ride might be! 

BK: We have had so many successes, it’s hard to pinpoint 

just a few. The biggest key is working with reputable 

manufacturers who build superior product at a fair price. I 

truly believe this is one of the reasons we have continued 

to see growth through the worst of industry downturns. 

Moose products aren’t always going to be the most 

expensive or highest performance, but they are also not 

going to be the least expensive and made from inferior 

materials. What a customer is going to get from us is a 

quality product that lasts and at a fair price.

PE: Who are some of the famous Europeans and 

Americans who ride or rode with Moose Racing? 

BK: When Parts Unlimited first made the connection with 

Moose Off-Road (original name), it was done during a time 

when industry visionary Wayne Cornelius came on board 

and had the foresight to get us involved in the off-road 

industry. Wayne was in charge of bringing in new products 

and taking our presence in the dirt to new levels. He was a 

Southern California guy who had a passion for riding, knew 

what he wanted and figured it was what others wanted too. 

He immediately brought in ISDE Gold Medalist and 8-time 

National Enduro Champion Dick Burleson to help with the 

development of the apparel line and the flagship product 

was the original XCR Jacket. I remember those days and how 

we struggled to find a manufacturer who could keep up with 

the demand. We attended the 1994 ISDE in Tulsa, Oklahoma 

and that was our baptism into the apparel market. Gary 

Gibbs (G2 Ergo) worked for us at that time as well and had 

his own impressive resume of riding the toughest races in 

Illinois under the guidance of legendary trail boss Bill Gusse 

Moose Utility Division (MUD) focuses mainly on the ATV and UTV markets, 

creating top-quality products that help their customers get the most out 

of their machines, whether they’re using them for work or play. 


who now runs the Parts Unlimited OMA National Series. 

Gary and I took a cube van full of product for our sponsored 

racers and press personnel. Needless to say, it wasn’t just 

another set of gear and had purpose. The response was 

overwhelmingly positive and we were on our way. One of 

the riders at that event was Rodney Smith and he is a Moose 

guy to this day. We have also aligned ourselves over the years 

with names like (no particular order) Scott Summers, Mike 

lafferty, Ty Davis, David Knight, Bill Ballance, Jimmy Jarrett, 

Paul Whibley, Nathan Woods, Josh Strang and the list goes 

on. We haven’t just stayed in the off-road realm either. We 

have experienced a ton of recent success in the Arenacross 

Series with the Babbitt’s Kawasaki stable, have had a number 

of successful Supercross riders, ATV champions and even 

shared some extreme world records with Robbie Maddison. 

PE: What markets do you see expanding in the future? 

BK: The biggest market we see as potential for growth right 

now is dual sport and adventure touring. As fuel prices 

continue to rise and put a pinch on everyone’s disposable 

Moose Racing started out with just a modest array of 

hard parts, and over the years, the company has grown 

and expanded to Moose Racing as we know it today. 

Moose Utility Division creates the toughest products 

for the industry’s toughest ATVs and UTVs. 


Moose Racing’s passion for off-road runs deep, from creating outstanding off-road gear and hard parts, to trail 

riding, racing, rider support and everything in between. If it involves off-road, Moose Racing is there. 

income, we are seeing a lot of people get into motorcycling 

as a cost-savings alternative to their daily commute to 

work or wherever they are headed. Geographically, I think 

Canada and Europe are markets we are going to be able to 

penetrate further. The Parts Unlimited sister companies of 

Parts Canada and Parts Europe have embraced all of the 

Moose brands and we are the beneficiaries of this. Moose 

is a strong name in the U.S., but it is gaining steam globally 

and customers everywhere are seeing what we have to 

offer. 

PE: How is Moose Racing looking forward 

to the future of the industry? 

BK: As far as I’m concerned, the future of the industry is 

very bright. With the help of our dedicated customers, and 

a solid dealer base, we have weathered some significant 

storms as of late, but having a parent company that is 

strong has allowed us to keep charging hard and not 

deviating from our basic core principles and products. 

PE: Anything else you’d like to add? 


BK: In closing, I always say that I compare what I do 

to a head coach of a successful sports team. The best 

head coach is only as successful as the people he or she 

surrounds themselves with. I am fortunate to have a staff 

of assistant coaches who are hard working and passionate 

about what they do. They never forget the principles of 

hard work, but remember at the end of the day that we are 

selling fun. How many people get to do that? Our team is 

also fortunate to work with great people behind the scenes 

like our manufacturers, our Purchasing staff and the front 

line players who make the sales happen. Without the Sales 

staff of all of our company reps and our dealers, we are no 

better than anyone who stocks a shelf with the hopes of 

making a sale. Add it all up and it is a combination that is 

tough to beat.

ATVs and UTVs make great tools for almost every 

type of utility work and are ideal for farms, 

vineyards, constructions sites, and caring for 

livestock. They can be used for everything from 

hauling hay to transporting archeologists to an important 

dig. Modern ATVs and UTVs are made to take a beating 

and keep working. Plus, they’re great fun to ride, race or 

work with. So whether you use your ATV or UTV for work 

or play, it’s good to know your machine will get you where 

you want to go and then back again. 

Still, no matter how well made, your ATV or UTV requires 

maintenance and attention from top to bottom. And 

for machines that are made to take on the extremes of 

weather and off-road conditions, it’s always a good idea to 

pay particular attention to the parts that keep everything 

rolling, like the CV joints, which require regular maintenance. 

Moose Utility Division (MUD) is there to help. 

What are signs that your CV joints are in danger? If the 

CV boot is torn, dust and mud can get in and ruin your 

CV joints. Not fixing the CV joints quickly can result in 

becoming stranded on the trail, or worse, a snapped CV 

half shaft can puncture important pieces of your ATV. You 

can help prevent wear and tear on your CV joints with 

regular maintenance and inexpensive replacement of 

worn parts such as the CV Boot Guards. MUD offers tough, 

lightweight aluminum guards that are an inexpensive 

investment in the life of your machine. Protected and 

undamaged boots keep lubrication in, water and dirt out. 

CV BOOT GUARDS 

Tough, lightweight aluminum guards 

are an inexpensive investment that 

can pay off in a hurry. Protected and 

undamaged boots keep lubrication 

in, water and dirt out. Save costly 

repairs to CV joints by protecting 

boots and CVs themselves.

Save on costly repairs to CV joints by protecting boots 

and CVs themselves. 

What about the CV boots; what is the danger of worn out 

CV boots? Heat is the number one cause of boot failure. 

That heat, transmitted along a front wheel drive axle from 

either; (1) malfunctioning or stuck brake pads, (2) worn 

wheel bearings, or (3) internal transmission problems, can 

cause a CV boot to weaken and easily tear resulting in an 

exposed CV joint. An exposed CV joint will quickly gather 

road debris and ultimately fail. MUD has an answer in 

their CV Boot Kits. Inexpensive MUD CV Boot Kits replace 

dangerously worn, CV boots before dirt, dust and grime 

destroy expensive CV joints. Tougher than stock and complete 

with everything you need to complete the job, MUD 

heavy-duty puncture resistant CV Boot Kits comes with 

grease and clamps. Each complete assembly fits one side. 

Another item to keep an eye on for maintenance are your 

tie rods. MUD offers Tie Rod End Kits to replace loose and 

torn Tie Rod ends. look for loose or broken tie rod ends 

to see if they need to be replaced. Most commonly, tie 

rod ends break when an object is hit, like a tree, fencepost, 

rocks, etc. These all can cause damage, which will 

increase with each major and even minor impact. MUD 

Tie Ride End Kits contain inner and outer tie rods that are 

designed to repair loose and worn tie rod ends. 

Here’s a quick review of just a few of the products Moose 

Utility Division offers to keep the front end of your ATV/ 

UTV working properly:

CUSTOm wheeLS in stock! 

When a rider makes 

the decision to 

mount-up custom 

wheels he does 

not want to wait. With custom 

wheels there’s an instant transformation 

to the way any bike 

looks, rides and handles. The 

gratification for all that has to 

be instant, too. No one wants to 

pick out their new wheels and 

then be told they’ll have to wait 

six to eight weeks before everything’s 

in stock and available. 

At Parts Europe they don’t have 

to wait. Those custom wheels, 

genuine Performance Machine 

wheels in some great styles, the 

Elements, Rivieras and Wraths, 

are in stock now. More than 

that, Parts Europe has everything 

to go with those wheels, 

too, all the matching pulleys, 

brake rotors and even air filters. 

Riders wanting custom can 

have it when they want it, and 

it’s all Performance Machine, 

the top choice of top builders 

worldwide. 

Riviera 

The Element features a unique 

five-spoke design with deeply 

engraved lines starting at the 

hub and reaching all the way 

to the rim lip. It’s impressive. 

The Riviera, with its eight linear 

spokes, lends a simple, yet 

defined look. Those eight faceted 

spokes split into 16 before 

fusing back into the rim lip, a 

styling cue that’s carried all the 

way to that rim lip for a more 

intense look. And then there’s 

the Wrath, a highly detailed 

five-spoke wheel that’s right at 

home on lots of bikes, modern 

customs to hardcore choppers. 

All of those wheels are available 

in either a highly-polished chrome finish or the PM exclusive 

Contrast Cut against a black anodized finish. Either 

way the look is stunning, and remember, to complete the 

transformation from stock to not all the matching pulleys, 

brake rotors and air cleaners are available, too. In chrome 

or Contrast Cut. 

The PM Wheels: 

In Stock and Ready to Roll 

Element 

Parts Europe has all those great-looking Performance Machine 

wheels, the Elements, Wraths and Rivieras, in stock now. More 

than that, Parts Europe has everything to go with those wheels, 

too, all the matching pulleys, brake rotors and even air filters. 

More than just looking good, 

these wheels are built to perform. 

Every PM wheel design is 

rigorously and vigorously tested 

in Performance Machine’s own 

computer-controlled test lab 

before it’s released for sale, and 

PM puts those parts through the 

wringer. Consider the tests that 

every wheel design must pass: 

The Impact Test: PM’s massive 

testing rig simulates the 

absolute worst conditions a 

wheel might encounter out on 

the street. Potholes, pavement 

breaks, road debris, even giant 

wheel stands–the effects of all of 

that and more are re-created in 

the lab and the results analyzed. 

The Torsional-Load Test: This 

PM test rig subjects a wheel 

to countless starting/stopping 

cycles, including the forces 

encountered during those big, 

smoky burnouts. 

The Side-Load Test: Hard 

cornering can put tremendous 

loads on a wheel, but nothing 

like it’ll see on this test rig. 

The Radial-Load Test: Big Twins 

can get heavy. PM’s gigantic 

“rolling road” test fixture can 

load a new wheel well past any 

weight it’ll see once it gets into a 

customer’s hands. 

The Corrosion-Resistance Test: 

A corroded wheel not only looks 

bad, it can be dangerous. PM’s 

“Salt Spray” testing vat accelerates 

the corrosion process so 

potential problems can be found 

and fixed before that wheel’s offered 

for sale. 

With Performance Machine 

you’re selling looks and you’re 

selling quality. Just as important, you’re selling wheels, 

pulleys, rotors and air cleaners that are in stock right now 

and ready for immediate delivery. Plus, each of these 

wheel designs are TUV approved!

ProX Racing Parts was founded in 1975. Their 

headquarters are located in the Netherlands 

near Amsterdam Airport–a central location 

in Europe and a perfect gateway to the rest of 

the world. Domestic as well as international dealers and 

distributors/importers are being served from our facility 

in the Netherlands. 

ProX Racing Parts is mainly specialized in high quality 

internal engine components such as pistons, connecting 

rods, crankshafts and valves. However, ProX Racing Parts 

is continuously expanding its range and therefore investing 

in other technical components regarding the various 

Powersports applications that can be found outside an 

engine. Including the latest additions ProX Racing Parts 

stocks well over 5,000 part numbers divided over 50 

different product groups. All parts are manufactured to 

highest quality standards at “state of the art” manufacturing 

facilities around the world. These manufacturing 

factories include reputable businesses that manufacture 

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) parts for the 

leading motorcycle brands worldwide. With the experience 

and long established relationships ProX Racing Parts 

is therefore always able to select the best manufacturer to 

meet or exceed high level requirements regarding technical 

specifications and market. 

Although ProX Racing Parts has many product lines, their 

pistons and connecting rods are the core business. Most 

of the pistons and connecting rods are made in Japan 

and are supplied with high quality accessories. The piston

kits with matched piston rings, pins and clips and the 

connecting rods kits come with a Japanese big end cage, 

pin and washers. The connecting rod kits for the higher 

performance applications like the Honda CRF450R or 

Yamaha YZ250F are supplied with special silver big end 

needle bearings to give the customer the best materials 

available. 

In the early days ProX Racing Parts was known for its high 

quality cast 2-stroke pistons. Since the modern dirtbikes, 

ATVs and personal watercraft applications are equipped 

with forged pistons, of course ProX Racing Parts offers 

a complete range of high quality forged pistons as well. 

ProX Racing Parts still have a complete range of cast 

pistons for Honda XR400 type of applications. One of the 

unique features of the ProX piston range is the offering 

of oversizes up to 2,00 mm for many applications. Most 

of the pistons come with a coating to have superior wear 

in and friction reduction properties. Even for some Nicasil 

cylinders they offer a package which contains the cast 

iron cylinder sleeve and a big bore piston. 

ProX Racing Parts connecting rods kits are made from 

double forged tool steel. After the production the rod will 

get a special treatment that is called barreling. This process 

will make the surface of the material smoother and will 

give better properties to the material, which makes the 

connecting rod more durable. As mentioned before the 

connecting rod kits come with high quality bearings.

AdvANCed oiling system 

In 2006 Harley-Davidson introduced a new style, 

higher volume/higher pressure oil pump for the Twin 

Cam engine. It needed it. A Twin Cam’s oiling system, 

OE, uses a pretty small crank-speed gerotor style oil 

pump with its gears preloaded against the cam support 

plate and the pump housing itself. All that preloading 

causes lots of friction and wear, and couple that with the 

Twin Cam’s crankshaft and its machined “paddles” that 

provide a trigger for the crank-position sensor (CPS) and 

you end up with an oiling system that’s far from optimal. 

Those paddles do a great job of whipping up any unscavenged 

oil turning it into a thick, foamy froth, hardly 

a model of efficiency. The new pump, introduced in ‘06 

Dyna models and included in all models since, was a step 

in the right direction–but not a particularly big one. The 

Feuling Parts Oiling System, in stock and available now, is 

the real answer here. 

Taking a “system approach” to the Twin Cam’s oiling 

problem the Feuling upgrade kit includes a 6061 billet 

aluminum high-volume oil pump, a 7075 billet hard-anodized 

cam plate, a set of tight-tolerance HP + hydraulic 

roller lifters and all the necessary gaskets for installation. 

This virtually friction-free parts combination increases 

the oil pressure, oil volume, oil flow and oil scavenging 

and eliminates wet sumping. The Feuling system not only 

delivers lots more oil, because of its advanced design 

it delivers cooler oil, as well, which of course prolongs 

engine life and enhances reliability. And without all that 

OE pump preload and its unnecessary friction the freerspinning 

Feuling system can also increase rear wheel 

power by as much as three horsepower and four lbs./ 

ft. of torque. All coming from an oiling system upgrade. 

Pumped Up!: 

The Feuling Parts Oiling System 

Many top engine builders swear by the Feuling System, 

for good reason. 

In the earlier ‘99-‘06 applications the Feuling oil pump 

increases pressure volume by an impressive 40-percent 

and scavenge (return) volume by 60-percent. Feuling’s 

new-style pump for the ‘06 and later Twin Cams increases 

pressure volume by 20-percent and scavenge volume by 

30-percent. In both cases the increase in pressure volume 

reduces lifter and valve-train clatter, lowers cylinder head 

temperatures and increases engine oil pressure overall. 

The increase in scavenge volume greatly reduces engine 

blow by, eliminates that “frothing” situation and turns the 

Twin Cam into a true dry sump engine. And everything 

The Feuling Parts Oiling 

System upgrade kit 

includes a 6061 billet 

aluminum high-volume 

oil pump, a 7075 

billet hard-anodized 

cam plate, a set of 

tight-tolerance HP + 

hydraulic roller lifters 

and all the necessary 

gaskets for installation. 

here is top quality. The Feuling oil pump bodies are 

aerospace-grade billet aluminum with high-flow 4140 

heat-treated chrome moly gerotor gears inside. The replacement 

cam plates are much stronger and harder than 

the factory parts and the HP+ full travel hydraulic roller 

lifters are an upgrade, as well. They hold much tighter 

internal tolerances than OE for a slower bleed-down to 

better handle heavy valve spring pressures. Everything 

has been dyno-developed and track tested to provide 

maximum power, reliability and longevity. 

All this is an easy bolt-in replacement, a system that really 

addresses the Twin Cam oiling problem. It increases the 

oil supply, increases the scavenging and delivers cooler 

oil in the process. It’s all in stock at Parts Europe right now, 

ready for immediate delivery, so call today.

SpORTSTeR ANd dYNA exhausts 

Two of the sportiest Harleys in the lineup, the 

Sportsters and Dynas, are the ones that can be 

the most fun. They’re light, they’re agile, they’re 

rider’s motorcycles. It’s no wonder they’re as 

popular as they are. And like every other Harley-Davidson 

they rarely stay completely stock for long. Those Sportsters 

and Dynas are even more fun after a few modifications 

and additions are made, most notably a new exhaust. 

Vance & Hines has just the pipes to increase the fun factor 

here. The Vance & Hines Big Shots and Short Shots, both 

in stock now at Parts Europe and available with either a 

glistening chrome or a sinister black finish, are some of 

the most popular exhausts in the Vance & Hines lineup. 

They’re a great addition to any Sportster or Dyna on all 

counts–looks, sound and performance. 

The Big Shots are just that, big pipes that not only look 

the part–they are the part. The Big Shots have been a 

top pick right from the moment they were introduced. A 

great looking, great sounding set of pipes, they feature 

that revolutionary Vance & Hines Power Chamber design, 

a unique cross-over system that increases horsepower 

and torque by, essentially, giving these 2-into-2 exhausts 

all the scavenging and performance benefits of a 2-into-1 

system. The Big Shots come armed with full-coverage 

6.35 cm heat shields that that will keep the pipes blueproof 

for long-lasting style and, like all Vance & Hines 

The Vance & Hines Short Shots are also available in chrome or 

black, with direct-fit applications for all the 1991 through 2011 

Dyna models and the 2004 through 2011 Sportsters. 

Big Shots & Short Shots: 

For the XLs and Dynas 

exhausts, they install with a superior fit and an unrivalled 

finish in either chrome or that race-quality black ceramic. 

Everything, including the end caps, is meticulously finished, 

all mounting hardware is included and the baffles 

are removable. There are direct-fit applications for all the 

1991 through 2011 Dyna models and the 2004 through 

2011 Sportsters. 

Then there’s the Short Shots. This time it’s that same Vance 

& Hines high-style and performance, but with a tough, allbusiness 

look. The pipes exit at the end of the frame, just 

in front of the rear wheel. It’s that short, fat straight-pipe 

look riders love, and with the slash-cut ends there’s not 

much that looks better on a Sportster or Dyna. The 4.44 

cm headpipes have 220-degree coverage heat shields to 

keep everything looking brand-new, they’re available in 

both the chrome or black finishes and the black versions 

feature those full-coverage heat shields coated with a 

race-quality black ceramic with a signature Vance & Hines 

chrome badge and a great looking end-cap treatment. 

Once again, the applications list covers all the 1991 

through 2011 Dyna models and the 2004 through 2011 

Sportsters. 

Pipes are just about the first thing a Harley rider will 

change, swapping the plugged-up, plain looking and 

weak sounding factory exhausts for something bigger,

mOOSe RACING hard parts 

Moose Racing began as a company specializing 

in hard parts for off-road machines. 

They’ve grown significantly and now offer 

high quality racewear as well as many great 

products for motorcycles and ATVs. But those hard parts 

that make your bike or ATV perform better are still a big 

part of Moose Racing’s core business. 

Moose Racing offers a multitude of general engine repair/ 

service items that will keep your machine performing 

well for years to come. These products are sometimes 

overlooked, but are vital to a healthy running machine. 

Dealers and consumers should take note. 

Carb Repair Kits: The carburetor on all ATVs is something 

that should be kept clean and sealed. Remember, the carb 

is where the air and fuel mix as the mixture heads into the 

combustion chamber. A clean, well-maintained carburetor 

will help your machine perform to its highest potential 

while a dirty, clogged, or damaged carb will cause your

Moose Racing Carb 

Repair Kits come with 

everything you need 

to rebuild your OEM 

carburetor. Moose

Repair Kits for most 

makes and models 

of Honda, Polaris, 

Yamaha, Suzuki, and 

Kawasaki ATVs.

machine to run poorly or not at all. 

If your bike or ATV is running nicely and acceleration is 

sharp, the carb is probably in good shape. However, 

some telltale symptoms that your carb needs rebuilding 

may include: mysterious gas leaks (typically ones where 

the gas is trickling out of the vent tube on the bottom 

of the carb), poor acceleration or serious bogging, lots of 

exhaust smoke, occasional misfires, hard starting when 

warm, and improper idling. When you’re ready to do a 

carb rebuild, then start with the correct tools and parts. It 

is a good idea to buy all the parts at once, because Moose 

Racing Carb Repair Kits are inexpensive, high quality, and 

complete. 

This is just a small sampling of the many maintenance 

products and hard parts offered by Moose Racing through

sunglasses ANd goggles 

It’s true. Bobster Eyewear is a rider’s favorite. Bobster is 

well known for merging fashion and function with its 

trend-setting and top performing, yet still affordable, 

sunglasses and goggles. Bobster Eyewear comes 

with the kind of features and extras you’d never expect at 

this price point: photochromatic lenses, interchangeable 

lenses, attachable/detachable foam inserts–all this and 

more come standard with Bobster Eyewear. It’s a “must 

have,” an easy sale, and if you haven’t looked at Bobster’s 

street eyewear lately, now’s the time. 

There’s something here for everyone, from the Hooligan 

and Rukus sunglasses to the Defenders and Foamerz 2s, 

some styles offered prescription-ready, by the way. Just 

purchase or send in that RX-ready eyewear along with 

a prescription form and those glasses will be returned 

ready to wear. Or if prescription sunglasses don’t fit your 

lifestyle Bobster offers styles, like the Phoenix, designed 

to fit comfortably over regular prescription glasses. Bob- 

ster Eyewear has great looking options for every need, all 

coming with a lifetime warranty against any defects. 

The Hooligan is a real favorite. The sleek and stylish frames 

wrap around the face with a slight “cup” at the edges to 

minimize wind disruption without the need for foam, and 

photochromatic lenses make the Hooligan ready for all 

lighting conditions. The lenses start out clear with a light 

tint and transform to a medium grey in bright light. It’s 

a great all day/all night pair of glasses, and a microfiber 

pouch is included. The Hooligan is RX ready, too. 

The Rukus, another pair of good-looking prescriptionready 

sunglasses, combines that rider’s function and style 

into one seamless package. Not only do these glasses 

feature removable closed-cell foam for comfort and protection, 

they also have anti-fog photochromatic lenses.

Bobster Defenders 

Do-it-all, wear them anywhere, the Rukus comes with a 

carry case and microfiber cleaning cloth, too. 

The Defender is another great-looking Bobster pick. The 

lightweight frame features wraparound styling and the 

smoked or brown polycarbonate lenses are distortion 

free and polarized to cut down on glare. The TR90 Grilamid 

frame is extremely flexible, too. It can take a beating. 

A pouch and polishing cloth comes standard. 

Bobster’s Foamerz 2 is another wraparound choice. These 

sunglasses feature anti-fog polycarbonate lenses, closed 

cell memory foam for a cushioned, comfortable fit and 

there’s plenty of ventilation. A flexible polycarbonate 

frame wraps securely around the face, too, with small rubber 

strips at the end of each temple to keep the glasses 

securely in place. 

Don’t forget about that Phoenix Interchangeable. It’s a 

great goggle solution, designed to comfortably fit right

interchangeable lenses are included, anti-fog 

smoked, amber, and clear, and the flexible polyurethane 

frame is cushioned with a dense layer of sweat-absorbing 

neoprene for a molded seal over the face. 

Right from its start in 1996 Bobster Eyewear has always 

combined technology and function with style. With 

Bobster, riders can sidestep the hassle of carrying around 

multiple pairs of sunglasses. The do-it-all, wear ‘em anywhere

World MotoGP champion 

Jorge Lorenzo.

A F E W M I N U T E S W I T H D A N I P E D R O S A 

Q&A Midway through the race 

Story and photos by Andrew Wheeler 

Editor’s note: Two races into the 2011 season, despite podium finishes at both events, all was not well with Dani Pedrosa. He was experiencing 

pain in his previously broken left shoulder and a doctor’s examination revealed the need for some additional repairs to correct the problem. 

The decision was made for him to have surgery prior to the next race in Portugal. The following interview by Andrew Wheeler was conducted 

after the surgery, and after qualifying had ended at Estoril with Dani earning the 3rd starting position for the race. 

Estoril. The post-qualifying press conference is a lively 

affair, despite the room’s dated, chilly atmosphere. 

As the late afternoon sun streams through the high 

windows, doing nothing to abate the cold, Marco 

Simoncelli and Jorge lorenzo exchange barbs regarding 

the merits of aggressive—or rather, “spirited”—racing. Dani 

Pedrosa, his hand disguising an obvious smile, just sits back 

and observes. The conflict, it would seem at the time, was 

only between Simoncelli and lorenzo. 

After qualifying third for Sunday’s race, the Repsol Honda 

rider is dwarfed by journalists asking him questions in various 

Spanish dialects. All I can see is the top of his blue HRC 

team cap. His performance is impressive after surgery to 

repair persistent subclavian artery damage that took place 

less than three weeks ago, on the Monday after the previous 

round in Jerez. 

I hadn’t wanted to ask him yet another question about his 

shoulder, but I ended up doing it anyway. Dani replies, “It’s 

fine now,” but goes on to say that the real test is how it lasts. 

Pedrosa is no stranger to discomfort and pain. 

So, how does a top level rider who has to manhandle a 200+ 

horsepower MotoGP machine around a racetrack deal with 

the pain and discomfort caused by injury? “Depending on 

character,” Dani says. “There are many ways to deal with 

pain.” Some people are braver than others, he says, and there 

are some who are “more scared due in part to caring more 

about their body than others.” There is a knowledgeable look 

that flashes across his face when he goes on to say that by 


thinking less, he has become a lot braver. Dani understands, 

though, the need to be mentally tough and to overcome the 

pain and discomfort because “everything happens so fast 

and anything in that moment isn’t the way you would like 

every time.” 

When he leans back in his chair, looking a little more comfortable, 

I ask about his rehabilitation regimen. How does he 

get his fitness back and then maintain it? “I do all I can,” he 

says with a chuckle, going on to say that he follows his doctor’s 

advice, and then his physio’s advice and tries to stick to 

the plan while understanding that there are many different 

techniques for each problem. 

“You have to listen to your body,” he says emphatically. “You 

really have to understand how you are and what’s good for 

you and what’s not good for you.” Being calm is the key, as 

opposed to overly aggressive with the rehab. He illustrates 

what he means with his hands, explaining that he takes 

those feelings to go “step by step,” but gets into trouble once 

the line is crossed, that line that stops him from listening to 

his body. 

I then ask him what he does away from the racetrack: Does 

he cycle? Does he have a pet? He laughs and says, “I like to 

cycle,” and he also likes to be around motorcycles away from 

the track. “Motocross, supermoto,” he adds, “but not everything 

is about racing.” Training is important, as is relaxing, 

like going to the cinema to see some good movies, just fun 

with friends. It’s becoming apparent that there is a life balance 

within Dani because even with his strict self-discipline 

in training and rehabilitation, he explains. He does not want 

to be “a robot doing just things for racing” because “that’s not 

a proper life.” I then ask Dani if he likes to cook. He smiles and 

calmly replies, “When it’s necessary.” 

Our discussion turns to preparation for a race weekend. As 

with the life balance explained above, Dani approaches this 

in a very similar manner because through the experience 

he has amassed over the years, he has realized that not one 

single thing you will do will make you win or be fast. He said, 

“Collectively there are many things that come together that 

make you do good. The most important one is to be happy.” 

We continued on to dreams and ambitions Dani wants to 

achieve. Replying very assertively, but with slightly facetious 

tone, he says, “MotoGP World Champion.” Then he adds, with 

an even bigger grin, “After that, if I get it, maybe another 

championship.” 

It’s Dani’s tenth year of Championship level 

racing. Having just missed his April 8th anniversary, 

I ask Dani if he has any special 

plans to celebrate. It’s clear that these 

are just numbers to him even though 

he does follow them; for 

instance, he mentions 

Dani chases fellow Spainard 

Jorge Lorenzo in the early 

laps of the Estoril race. 


Can a victory be any sweeter 

than to do it on your first race 

after shoulder surgery? 

Dani sits calmly before 

the store of the MotoGP 

final at Estoril. 

that if he had “99 pole positions, I may push for 100.” In the 

grand scheme of things, though, he has more tactile issues 

at hand. He gestures toward his shoulder. “The operation, 

with rehab, check with the doctor, and rehab, and rest, and 

rehab, so it is not easy to think about something else.” 

Finally, I ask Dani about the 2012 season, specifically the 

switch from the 800cc machines back to the 1000cc. Dani 

sits back in his chair and looks me square in the face. “I have 

a good experience with the 1000’s,” he says. “I’m not too 

worried about this.” 

Editor’s note: While Dani Pedrosa had qualified 3rd fastest at Estoril, 

no one, including him, knew if his newly repaired shoulder would 

provide him the strength to go the full race distance? It did, and he 

won the Estoril race in heroic fashion. His physical ailments were 

presumed to now be behind him and his dream of becoming MotoGP 

world champion seemed very possible. 

At the very next race at LeMans, however, Dani was taken down in 

the now-famous collision with Italian rider Marco Simoncelli, with 

Dani suffering a broken collarbone; his hopes for a MotoGP world 

championship now dashed. He missed two races and is no doubt 

already looking ahead to 2012. 

As Ringo Starr once sung, “It don’t come easy.”

ICON’S alliance lucky lid 

Sometimes the most expressive piece of art you 

have is your helmet. Helmet graphics do more 

than just attract attention, they offer an insight 

into your personality, and tell the world your passion 

for riding. Icon understands that your helmet is much 

more than just a smart item of safety gear; that’s why they 

put so much effort into innovative graphics and designs 

for street riders. 

The Alliance lucky lid is just one Icon helmet that will 

pull people across your showroom to get a closer look. 

The original idea for the lucky lid is simple–a helmet 

based on the characters from a deck of cards. But, as with 

everything Icon, it is so much more than that. The artist 

went beyond a deck of common playing cards, so that 

each card represented also includes elements of luck and 

gaming. 

look closely at the finished product. Icon used a combination 

of spot and halftone screening processes to get 

correct colors and halftone fades. This is the first Icon 

asymmetrical design from the ground up. Icon started 

out with just the characters from a deck of cards and then 

honed in on more specific ideas. The Suicide King seemed 

to be the best card out of the deck so they went with 

that. The dice, 777, and skull element on the front of the 

helmet seemed to really capture the “luck” element. And 

the flames and skull gave it a unique motorsports touch. 

And what deck of cards is complete without a Joker? He’s 

on the back where those who can’t keep up can see him 

LUCKY LID 

Feeling Lucky?: 

Icon’s Newest Alliance Graphic 

laugh as you ride away into the distance. 

Best of all the lucky lid is part of Icon’s superior line of 

Alliance helmets. Based on the proven Alliance SSR, this 

helmet is fitted with a multitude of key refinements. The 

first revision is the new reshaping of the EPS liner into a 

more oval geometry. This new head-form increases rider 

comfort by slightly elongating the entire inner circumference. 

Combine this geometry with Icon’s removable 

Hydra-Dry wicking comfort liner and the result is a nearly 

perfect rider-focused enclosure. Much like a finely tuned 

motor, Icon reshaped and enlarged the intake and exhaust 

ports for increased airflow. Ventilation ports have also 

been added to the lateral aspect of the helmet to further 

increase air-flow. The shield itself has been upgraded to 

Icon’s distortion free Pro-Shield. The Pro-Shield features 

the Pro-lock shield locking system, graphic enabled side 

plates, fog-free coating, and a no-tools shield change 

interface. The Alliance is constructed with premier 

manufacturing processes and stringent quality assurance 

procedures. This, combined with rigorous testing, assures 

that the Alliance meets or exceeds the All World Standard, 

which means it passes the high safety standards set by 

DOT, ECE, SG, and SAI. 

The Alliance lucky lid helmet is available now through 

Parts Europe. We’re sure you’ll be impressed, as you will 

be by the entire line of Icon helmets and riding gear.

and go online to www.rideicon.com. 

The basic idea behind the Alliance Lucky Lid from Icon is simple – a helmet design based on 

the characters in a deck of cards. But, of course, with Icon, nothing is ever that simple, so they 

took that basic idea and ran wild with it. This unique graphic is paired with Icon’s popular line 

of Alliance helmets – your customers will definitely want to take a closer look at this one!

SpRING SOLO seats 

Retro bobbers and 

old-school choppers 

are probably more 

popular now than 

when those stripped down 

rigid-frame bikes were the 

hottest new thing. There are 

more of them being built now, 

that’s for sure. Custom Pans, 

Shovels, Knuckles and even 

Ironhead Xls are popping up 

all over the place, those classic 

engines set into hardtail frames 

with Springer and Girder front 

ends leading the way. Most 

everything needed to build one 

of these modern day flashbacks 

is readily available, too, from 

brand-new versions of most of 

those old Harley engines to the

the seats and runs the Drag 

Specialties seat company, has 

been at it since 1974, back when 

these solo saddles were the 

newest thing. He knows what 

he’s doing and uses nothing but 

the finest materials. Most of the 

seats are formed with urethane 

foam mixed to Kevin’s specifications, 

and most of the covering 

materials are also made to his 

specs. It’s all heavy-duty stuff 

for outdoor use and motorcycle 

application, and it’s all die-cut 

for absolute consistency so it fits 

like a glove. Select models even 

feature solar-reflective leather 

in the seating area, a patented 

upholstery material that reduces 

surface temperature by as much 

as 45-degrees F (7.2-degrees C). 

All the seats are built on a heavy, 

steel contoured seat base with 

a black finish and include an 

adjustable front hinge and those 

two rear studs for mounting 

the springs, which are available 

separately. And for those builders 

who, for whatever reason, 

choose to do their own upholstery 

the bare-metal seat pans 

are available, too. In both sizes.

the real deal. You’ll see it, and so

The TCFI III: 

Wide-Band Control 

Back in 2007 Harley introduced its new ECM using narrow-band oxygen sensors 

for closed-loop control of the air/fuel ratio (AFR). Good news. The bad 

part: those narrow-band sensors do their thing over a pretty limited range, 

just 14.5 - 15.0 AFR. This is okay for idle and part throttle but the narrow-band 

sensors can’t be used at wide-open throttle where the engine requires about 12.5 

-12.8 AFR. Daytona Twin-Tec’s TCFI III using Bosch lSU 4.2 wide-band sensors functions 

over a much broader AFR range. Everywhere from 10.5 - 19.5 AFR. The TCFI III 

and its Bosch sensors can be used under all conditions, including wide-open throttle. 

With the TCFI III you can set that AFR to any desired value and do it in every RPM and at 

all throttle positions. The software making this possible is user friendly, too. All relevant 

tables such as AFR and spark advance (also adjustable with the TCFI III) are displayed 

as easy-to-read 3D charts with an accompanying spreadsheet table that’s just as easily 

edited. This software is powerful, too. Editing functions allow you to quickly change a 

whole range of cells in seconds, for example manipulating 4-degrees of timing within 

a certain RPM range with only a few mouse clicks. 

Here’s more. The TCFI III will 

even auto-tune itself. It’ll “read” 

the needs of the motorcycle 

it’s on and then inject the correct 

amount of fuel based on 

feedback from the wide-band 

sensors. That auto-tuning can 

happen on a dyno with a series 

of stepped runs throughout the 

RPM and throttle ranges and it 

can happen on the road, too, 

under actual riding conditions. 

Daytona Twin-Tec’s TCFI III Kit. 

For racing applications the TCFI 

III features a programmable 

input and output that can be pre-set for things like a stage RPM limit, ignition-retard 

function, even RPM, throttle-position and speed-based switches to control shift lights, 

electric shifters or a nitrous system. There’s built-in data logging, as well, with storage 

for the last hour of operation at 10 samples-per-second. All this can be downloaded 

and analyzed to diagnose problems or track performance. Powerful stuff. 

The TCFI III is ideal for lots of custom applications, too. It supports, but doesn’t require, 

a data link to the turn signal/security module (TSSM) or an instrument module (IM). 

There’s also a standard 12-volt tach output that’s compatible with most aftermarket 

tachometers and other popular accessories like shift lights. 

Bottom line: Daytona Twin-Tec’s TCFI III solves a host of Harley-Davidson problems all 

at once. There are applications for all the bikes needing help–including the increasingly

A 

flat tire is never any fun. Street bike, dirt 

bike, ATV–it doesn’t matter, a flat is going 

to ruin anyone’s day. No air equals 

no go. Want to avoid that hassle in the 

first place? That’s where Slime comes in, or goes 

in, actually. Slime Sealants, with applications 

for both tires and tubes, is a specially formulated 

compound for use in all pneumatic 

tires and, once installed, it’ll remain liquid 

inside that tube or tire, not hardening 

or drying out, and as that tire or tube 

rotates, centrifugal force pushes 

the sealant out to the tread area 

where it creates a layer of protection, 

repairing punctures as they 

occur. Put in the Slime and say 

goodbye to those flat-tire woes. 

That life-saving Sealant is just 

the beginning of what Slime has 

to offer when it comes to tire and 

tube maintenance, too. There’s a 

full lineup here, everything from 

those sealants to conventional 

plug and patch kits, to Mini- and 

Heavy-Duty Compressors right 

through to the crowning touch– 

valve-stem caps in a variety of 

colors. Parts Europe has it all. 

Slime Sealants, available in 

8-ounce (226.7 gram) containers, 

16-ounce (453.5 gram) containers, 

24-ounce (680.3 gram) containers 

and 32-ounce (907.1 gram) containers, 

will repair punctures up to 

1/4-inch (6mm) in size. That’s huge. 

Slime does it using an exclusive 

Fibro-Seal technology. This blend 

of microfibers and binders is carried 

to a puncture by the escaping 

air pressure where those particles 

intertwine to form a plug that’ll 

stop air loss dead in its tracks. The 

Fibro-Seal lattice, together with 

the viscous transportation system 

(the “green goo” that gives Slime its 

name) tightly packs into the puncture, 

instantly repairing flats with 

a flexible, long lasting plug. Non- 

Slime Sealants: 

The Antidote to Flat Tires 

To prevent 

and repair flat 

tires, Slime 

Tire Sealants is 

the answer! 

toxic, Slime works in both tube and tubeless tires and it’s 

guaranteed effective for two years. Those Slime Sealants 

even contain rust and corrosion inhibitors to maintain the 

integrity of the wheel rim. It doesn’t take much Slime to 

do its thing, either. Only 1.5- to 3-ounces (42.5- 85 grams) 

per tire is plenty, depending on the tire size and riding 


style, and there’s no mess left behind. A Slime-treated 

tire or tube can be cleaned, patched or plugged in 

the conventional manner. Of course Slime has those 

patches and plugs, as well, in all the sizes. They come 

packaged in convenient, economy-priced kits. 

Slime Sealants deserve a spot in every rider’s 

garage–and in his tires. But the real key to tire 

maintenance and long tire life is proper inflation 

and Slime also has that covered. The Slime 

Inflation Systems offer a quick, portable 

and easy way to keep tires pumped up 

to spec. The Power Sport Smart Spair, 

a versatile, compact inflation system 

featuring interchangeable connectors 

for multiple power sources, even 

includes an 8-ounce (226.7 gram) 

bottle of that tire sealant for repairs 

on the go. And Slime’s Heavy Duty 

Compressor, a powerful 12 Volt/150 

PSI compressor, is just that. It’ll inflate 

a standard car tire in three minutes. 

A 16-foot (4.8 meter) hose with a 

quick-release coupler, a bright lED 

light for nighttime emergencies, an 

accurate and easy-to-read gauge and 

an assortment of inflation adapters 

are all included. A tough canvas bag 

holds it all. 

Flat tires are no fun. 

You know it, your 

customers know it. Set 

up a Slime tire-maintenance 

display right 

on the counter. This is 

the stuff riders need, 

but they won’t know it 

until they see it. Show 

off the Slime.

Slime offers a wide 

variety of quality

fLAme deSIGN rotors 

Moto-Master’s Flame Design Rotors look great, 

there’s no denying that. But there’s lots more 

going on here than just those good looks. 

Moto-Master, based in the Netherlands, 

is way above putting out something that’s just about 

appearance. This is a company that made its name on 

performance and those Flame Design Rotors, undeniably 

good looking, are real performers. They’re the top pick 

of top performers worldwide, the rotors used by almost 

every major MX Grand Prix team. And it’s not because of 

any “gimmick” rotor, no matter how good looking it is. 

Moto-Master is all about performance. The good looks, 

well, that’s just a bonus. 

A Flame Design Rotor, whether it’s for MX, Supermoto or 

a street bike is an instant improvement over any standard 

OE rotor. Made from specially hardened and tempered 

premium stainless steel, the Flame serves up that perfect 

combination of feel with more stopping power, all coming 

from less pressure at the lever. Because of its design 

the Flame also promotes optimal cooling along with 

continuous brake pad cleaning, with no tilting of the 

pads. The Flame street and track rotors are all 100-percent 

compatible with any type of brake pad, too, sintered 

bronze, Kevlar or ceramic carbon. It’s form and function 

here–with lots of that function. 

These are rotors designed to work. The flame-shaped 

venting slots and outer perimeter ensure an equal 

amount of contact surface between the brake pad and rotor 

throughout the whole rotation of the disc. There’s no 

fluctuation in the amount of friction during disc rotation. 

That means smoother, more predictable braking action 

allowing riders to brake harder. The flame design also ensures 

that the brake pads are always evenly supported on 

The Flame Discs: 

Good Looks, Great Performance 

the rotor with no tilting under high pressure. Additionally, 

Moto-Master has lined up the venting slots in the linear 

direction of movement, a design pattern that allows for 

oversize slots without any worries about chipping away 

at the brake pads or initiating too much initial bite. And 

those oversize slots ensure maximum cooling, while 

overall bike handling is improved due to the reduction in 

weight. Finally, the Flame’s outer perimeter and venting 

slots overlap to continuously clean the entire brake pad 

contact surface while allowing hot gasses to be immediately 

evacuated. Those are the reasons the Flame Design 

Rotors work so well, and why they look like they do. 

Coming from Moto-Master of course the Flame Design 

Rotors are built right. Beginning with that premium quality 

stainless steel, specialized laser cutting techniques 

provide a razor sharp cut that won’t corrode afterwards. 

And disc thickness is always parallel, held to a 0.003mm 

Moto-Master’s Flame Design 

Rotors are used by top 

teams and riders around 

the world. (Pictured: World

margin to eliminate any possibility of brake-lever pulsation. 

The disc’s inner carrier is just as good. It’s made with 

top-quality aircraft aluminium billet, CNC machined for 

maximum strength and minimum weight. The carrier is 

corrosion protected with a black anodized finish and the 

floaters, arranged in a new lightweight design, are precision 

CNC machined to the tightest tolerance. 

That’s the Flame, the great looking brake rotor from Moto- 

Master that works even better than it looks. For more 

than a decade Moto-Master rotors, and their Off-Road/ 

MX brake pads, have provided riders and racers with the 

bolt-on performance boost they want and an immediate 

improvement over anything OE. Parts Europe has it all 

and the price is always right.

hIGh peRfORmANCe racing gear 

Thor began as Torsten Hallman Original Racewear 

– T.H.O.R. The idea was to make high performance 

racing gear for competition riders, riding 

gear that would be comfortable, stylish, and enhance 

the performance of the rider. That hasn’t changed; 

Thor has long been considered an industry leader when it 

comes to making some of the most innovative, comfortable,

system that provides a secure, precise fit that is trouble 

free. The ratchet system works by simply sliding the strap 

into the buckle and adjusting the strap tension with the 

aluminum alloy ratcheting lever. Want a little snugger fit 

across the instep or ankle? No problem, just ratchet that 

strap a few more clicks and you’ll be ready to race. It’s a lot 

like tuning in your suspension by adding a few clicks on

When we first introduced the Flux line of gear as 

the ultimate hybrid, positioned right between a fully 

vented kit and a traditional kit, we knew it would be a 

huge success. Offering serious race performance with 

just the right amount of venting, the Flux kit is everything 

you'd expect in a premium set of race equipment. 

This year we went even further. Introducing all new chassis 

designs that fit better, cool better and perform better lap after 

lap, moto after moto. We refined, we tested, and then we refined 

some more. We sweated over the smallest details to ensure 

you'd sweat less and perform more. The new Flux gear is the 

next level in performance.


beTTeR SeALING gaskets 

If you want something done right, you have to do 

it yourself. So when Cometic Gaskets was founded 

in 1989 to bring better sealing technology to the 

gasket industry, it began by taking all aspects of 

gasket-making in-house; from conception to engineering, 

tooling, and testing of the final product. 

Today, Cometic leads the way in material selection 

and gasket design. No sealers are necessary on any of 

Cometic’s gaskets – just install the gasket using the recommended 

torque specs, and you’re set. Another example of 

Cometic’s leadership is the Multi layer Steel head gasket 

line. Cometic offers MlS head gaskets with any bore size 

you specify in just about any thickness you want. 

Cometic engineers the MlS head gasket to work like a 

spring when installed on the engine. The gasket is designed 

to follow both horizontal and vertical movement 

of the head, and actually lifts with the head to maintain 

the combustion seal even on high-compression, supercharged 

and turbocharged engines. 

The MlS head gasket is comprised of three layers of 

stainless steel. The outer layers are Viton-coated and embossed. 

The center layer or rub layer is uncoated stainless 

steel and sets up the overall thickness of the head gasket. 

The benefits of using MlS head gaskets include better 

heat transfer, little to no bore distortion for a better ring 

Cometic MLS (Multi Layer 

Steel) head gaskets. 

Innovative Technology: 

Better Sealing With Cometic 

seal, no need for re-torquing, and no comebacks due to 

blowout. Another great feature is that when the engine 

is next disassembled, you don’t need to scrape off the old 

gasket, saving time and eliminating the risk of scratching 

or gouging the gasket mating surfaces. 

Along with head gaskets, Cometic also manufactures all 

the gaskets and seals necessary to completely rebuild your 

engine. Another innovative material Cometic produces 

mainly for engine case covers is AFM, or Aluminum Foam 

Material. It has an aluminum core and is coated on both 

sides with a closed-cell foam synthetic Nitrile rubber. 

This stuff seals like magic – it’s great for sealing rough or 

uneven mating surfaces and is heat resistant up to 121˚C. 

AFM has an 85-percent recovery rate and does not require 

re-torquing. 

If you’ve ever had a fiber base gasket squeeze out or 

blow out, Cometic has what you’re looking for. The SlS 

(Single layer Steel) base gasket is made from spring steel, 

embossed, and Viton coated. like the MlS head gasket, 

it’s engineered to move with the cylinder. It won’t squeeze 

or blow out and does not require re-torquing. 

When you want the best gaskets you can find, get Cometic.

AGm mAINTeNANCe-fRee batteries 

In most parts of the northern hemisphere the riding 

season is well underway, but there are still a few riders 

coming late to the party. Some have had other 

obligations, but others let their bike’s battery die 

over the winter and have yet to recharge it. Some of those 

batteries will never come back to life, however, and when 

your customers come in looking for replacements, steer 

them toward Drag Specialties AGM maintenance-free 

batteries. 

Drag Specialties AGM batteries use a special radial grid 

technology and are specifically designed for hard-to-start 

high-performance engines that need all the cranking 

power they can get, so you know they’ll provide more 

than enough power to turn over stock engines, even on 

the coldest morning. 

Thanks to their AGM (absorbed glass mat) construction, 

these batteries don’t suffer the fluid loss that conventional 

wet-cell batteries do over time. They won’t lose their 

charge if they sit on the shelf for too long, either, because 

you don’t charge them until you sell them. Each one 

comes with an acid pack that you 

put in the battery 

Maintenance-Free!: 

Drag Specialties AGM Batteries 

at the time of sale. Once it’s filled, it’s permanently sealed 

– no fluid loss, no spillage, and no need to check the fluid 

level or top off the battery, ever. 

Drag Specialties AGM batteries are built for the long haul. 

Their rugged construction gives them long service life as 

well as superior vibration resistance, which is especially 

important in V-twin engines with irregularly spaced firing 

intervals. To make it easier to put them on a charger over 

the winter, Drag Specialties batteries come with a quickconnect 

harness designed for use with Drag Specialties 

battery chargers. 

If you’ve ever wrestled the battery in or out of an Fl you’ve 

probably asked yourself, “Why doesn’t someone put a 

handle on this battery?” Well, someone has. Part number 

2113-0209, for ‘97-‘11 FlT, FlHT, FlTR, FlHR, and Harley Fl 

trikes comes with a convenient one-piece foldable handle 

that makes installing or removing the heavy battery easy. 

This battery and two others (2113-0210 and 2113-0211) 

also come with new flush-mount terminals that eliminate 

the need for spacers, ensuring a secure, 

vibration-resistant, direct-path connection. 

With all their great features, Drag 

Specialties batteries are easy to sell. 

You can make them even easier 

with a battery display rack. In 

about 1/10th of a square 

meter of floor space, it holds 

a selection of batteries, 

and is easy to assemble. 

A colorful header card is 

included. 

learn more about Drag 

Specialties AGM batteries 

in the Parts Europe 

catalog, and contact 

Parts Europe to find out 

how you can qualify to 

get a battery display rack 

for free. 

With Drag Specialties’ fillable AGM 

maintenance-free batteries, every 

battery you sell can be ready for 

action in just minutes, no matter how 

long it’s been sitting on the shelf. 

These fillable batteries come with 

pre-measured acid packs, so you fill 

them right before you sell them, 

and they’re sealed after charging, 

so there’s no need to check the fluid 

level or top off the battery–ever.

qUALITY control cables 

There are some parts of a motorcycle you don’t 

really think about until they break. Control 

cables for example, do their job quietly, with no 

fuss or bother, right up until the moment they 

stop doing it–and by then you’re in a real predicament. 

Drag Specialties control cables are made of the highestquality 

components to make sure your customers don’t 

find themselves in this situation. 

Drag Specialties cables not only get the job done, they 

look good doing it. Drag’s braided throttle and idle cables 

have chrome-plated polished fittings, tempered steel 

inner conduits and inner nylon liners for long service life, 

and stainless-steel braiding covered with a clear covering 

for abrasion resistance. They come in standard, undersize, 

and oversize 

lengths for dual- and 

single-cable applications, 

and are also 

available with a black 

vinyl outer casing. 

Unlike throttle and 

idle cables, clutch 

cables are subjected to 

a lot of stress, primarily 

because some Harley 

clutches have a heavy 

pull. Because a control 

cable is essentially one 

long friction surface, 

it’s important to build 

it right to reduce the 

effort needed to operate 

the clutch. Drag 

Specialties High- 

Efficiency (HE) 

clutch cables are 

made so that more 

of the effort you apply 

at the lever goes to the 

clutch, and not the cable 

itself. 

This is accomplished by 

using a high-performance 

longitudinal housing and 

inner sleeve for superior com- 

Drag Specialties’ braided throttle and idle cables have 

chrome-plated polished fittings, tempered steel inner conduits 

and inner nylon liners for long service life, and stainlesssteel 

braiding covered with a clear covering for abrasion 

resistance. Also available with a black vinyl outer casing. 

Smooth Operators: 

Drag Specialties Control Cables 

pression resistance, smoother operation, and a lighter 

pull. These cables are available in standard, undersize, 

and oversize lengths for stock or custom applications, 

and meet or exceed all OEM specifications for fitment, 

construction, and endurance. like Drag’s throttle and idle 

cables, HE clutch cables come with braided stainless-steel 

with a clear covering for abrasion resistance, or in black 

vinyl. 

Older Harleys can benefit from fitting Drag Specialties 

cables, too. With applications for Shovelhead, Panhead, 

Knucklehead, and Iron Xls, the Oldbook is your onestop 

shop for braided or black vinyl throttle, idle, and 

choke cables, as well as HE clutch cables. 

All Drag Specialties cables come in Drag packaging 

for easy storage behind the counter, and effective 

display in front of it. Drag Specialties’ point-ofpurchase 

display (Part #9903-0104) is a compact 

and attractive way to put your stock out front 

where your customers are.

COmpLeTe LINe Of oil and filters 

Oil is the lifeblood of a motorcycle’s engine. 

Without it, parts overheat, horsepower fades 

away, and total failure follows. So it’s surprising 

that so many riders neither know nor care about 

what kind of oil they put in their bikes–they’d just as soon 

get whatever is on sale rather than pay a little more for 

specially formulated motorcycle lubricants. That’s why it’s 

important to offer your customers the best motorcycle oil 

at a great price, backed by the Drag Specialties name. 

Nobody knows V-twins better than Drag Specialties, and 

that’s why Drag oil comes in a variety of weights and
