ANCRA INTERNATIONAL TRACKSTAR WHEELCHOCK $79.95 4BBD WEST ROSECRANS AVENUE HAWTHORNE, CA 90250 800/973-5092 WWW.ANCRA.COM LOCKHART PHILLIPS AKRAPOVIC EVOLUTION EXHAUST SYSTEM $681 151 SAN 800/221-7291 Exhaust Evolution Lockhart Phillips' new Akrapovic Evolution Exhaust System comes in two varieties: a standard version for all-around off-road performance and a longer-headpipe, high-torque model for superior low-end power. Both feature full titanium construction with carbon-fiber muffler clamps. The lightweight cans meet the 9B-decibel noise limit required by the FIM, and both versions come equipped with end-cap spark arrestors that are easily removed via D-ring circlips. The Evolution's two-piece, slip-fit design is connected with silicon-shielded springs to produce less vibration throughout the pipe, resulting in fewer failures than rigid systems. The Chock of Choice Ancra International's new TrackStar Wheelchock is designed to fit front tires 3.5 to 5.5 inches wide and features a patented Lock-n-Load system that uses a high-strength aircraft-style track for positive attachment to standard truck beds and nat-noor trailers. The TrackStar Wheelchock is manufactured from reinforced and powder-coated tubular steel, with a solid base plate and aircraft-style fasteners. The chock is easily installed by positioning the two stud feet into the aircraft-style track and pressing down while sliding the chock forward. The top-mounted spring-loaded plunger then drops down into the track for a positive lock. The chock can be removed quickly by pulling up on the "plunger" and sliding it out of the track. The TrackStar Wheelchock comes with all mounting hardware and installation instructions. Saddle Up $21 8 S 18TH AVENUE WEST DULUTH, MN. 55806 800/222-1994 WWW.AEROSTICH.CDM Deck the Halls Thanksgiving has come and gone, and that can only mean one thing: Break out the Christmas decorations. It's time to hang the mistletoe, decorate the tree, and put up those Christmas lights. To some, this may sound like fun; to others, it's a chore. For the motorcycle enthusiast, though (presumably everybody who is reading this magazine), it should sound like a chance to display what you love. That's why AeroStich RiderWearHouse recently released Motorcycle Party Lights just in time for the holidays. The I 1.2Sfoot light strands are weather-resistant and feature 10 detailed bikes glowing in red, yellow, blue and green. Celebrate the holidays and your motorcycle all at the same time. Motorcycle Party Lights are indoor/outdoor U.L.-approved II Ov. The craftsmen at Saddlemen have come up with a new seat design for the 2004-0S Harley-Davidson Sportsters. The new Pro Tour Seat features a deep sculpted bucket for the rider, with a narrower, fenderhugging pillion that fits the bike just right. The onepiece seat design installs just like stock, but includes a rigid ABS-plastic seat pan made to perfectly fit the bike's contours. Inside, the rider's saddle features SaddleGel, a "visco-elastic" silicon gel that reduces vibration and fatigue, and makes every trip a bit more comfortable. SaddleGel is guaranteed for life and Saddlemen says it will never harden, leak, freeze, or distort in any way. $229.95 1 7801 SOUTH SUSANA ROAD RANCHO DOMINGUEZ, CA 90221 310/638-1222 WWW.BADDLEMEN.COM 42 DECEMBER 7, 2005 • CYCLE NEWS
