The adjustable 16-position, race-quality, steering damper mounts to the frame and fork with CNC billet-machined mounting clamps and allows for what Storz calls "full front fork movement." Rotating the adjustment knob on the end of the damper shaft regu- lates the damping force. The kit comes with all nec- essary mounting hardware and complete installation instructions. Kits are also available for FXR and most Dyna-model Harleys. Weigh Scale Intercomp's new SW650R1 Quik Weigh Scale features a Drag Racing Chassis Set-Up screen specifically designed for drag racers.

The TCX Pro's patented Torsion Control System (TCS) utilizes four flexure points on the sides of the boots, and two flexure points on the heel to allow for controlled lateral movement and front to back bending of the ankle. In other words, the TCS helps prevent hyperextension of the ankle by providing stopping points without restricting movement. For additional protection and safety, the TCX Pro comes with a rear heel guard, a steel toe cap, shank protection, and an inside suede heat guard. The boot also features an inner bootie with gel-melleolus protection, a dual- compound sole, aluminum replaceable buckles and lorica leather. The boot comes in sizes 7.5-15 and is available in white, black, red and blue. OXTAR TCX PRO BOOT $379.99 800/421-7247 www.oxtar.com
