New Red Shift 587 Cam for CVO-110 Engines

Harleyā€™s CVO 110ā€ engine is quite different from the 103, as it is equipped with much larger valves and heavier valve springs. Zipper's Performance'sĀ engineers went to work and designed the 587 cam withĀ the factory CVO 110 in mind. The goal was to provide smoother, more exciting power over stock from 2,000 rpm to over 100 horsepower at red line, without the trademark at-lining at 4,500 that the stock cam provides. Zipper's says that torque is improved across the entire rpm range for that great big-block engine feel. This Red Shift bolt-in camshaft was created for the CVO rider who wants his motorcycle to perform as good as it looks! More information is available about this new cam here.

Hey, Here we go. This is one of those days. Iā€™m not sure where to start. Iā€™m excited and tenuous. This year put me in the middle of a whirlwind. I was attempting to finish my most recent book.

More Than Storage For Your Bike ā€” It’s A Showcase

Here's something Bikernet stumbled upon while looking for storage solutions for your bike: the Indoor Bike ShowCase. This vehicle storage shelter is a "touchless" cover since it is designed to never come in contact with your bike. This is made possible by using heavy-duty PVC inflatable air columns that support over 70-pounds to hold up side access panels that zip closed and seal the vehicle inside. A front panel, which zips open and rolls up, acts like a door and allows users to simply ride their bike in and out. The Indoor ShowCase is easy set up and is ready for use in 3-4 minutes. All you need to do is attach the 12-volt 150 CFM pressure sensitive air pump ...
