Why Customize Your Harley Davidson Motorcycle

They just don't get it. You buy a Harley Davidson so you can customize it. That is half the darn fun of owning the motorcycle, at least it is for me and a lot of other Harley owners so I am sure you are no different.

Performance Mini Moto Parts

Performance Mini Moto Parts
Ok, so starting with the larger performance mini moto parts. The largest part you could get for your mini moto is probably a big bore kit. This will increase the displacement of your mini moto and give you great power gains throughout the rev range. It is becoming cheaper and cheaper to buy these kits for your mini moto and they certainly give the greatest power gains for the money so these kits are highly recommended. However some mechanical knowledge may be required in order to fit one of these kits, it is basically putting a new engine in!

Once you've got a big bore kit for your mini moto, you can start with some of the smaller mods in order to get the most out of your mini moto engine. I would now purchase a performance mini moto exhaust. These are great and if you get a good one you will see noticeable power increases, especially mid range and top end on your mini moto. In some cases these exhausts alone can add up to 10mph to your mini motos top speed and increase acceleration dramatically. Exhausts can be purchased for under £50 in many places on line, but if you are looking for a top quality exhaust system which is going to benefit you the most then it may be worth looking into some slightly more expensive exhaust systems.

Some state laws also discourage the use of loud pipes. You should check your own state's laws before making a decision. On the other hand loud pipes rock!

Classic Motorcycles - The Suzuki GSX1100E

Classic Motorcycles - The Suzuki GSX1100E
After the "power is everything" attitude of Japanese motorcycle manufacturers in the late 60s and 1970s, the 1980s saw potential legislation and handling concerns as issues that needed to be addressed. As far as legislation was concerned, manufacturers were beginning to realise that some bikes could be legislated off the roads, particularly when you consider the previously unheard of power-to-weight ratios available to people of just 17 years of age with little road experience.

This had already prompted Germany to introduce a 100bhp limit on bikes imported into the country which had already had Honda decreasing the bhp of its CBX1000 to 95 from 105bhp. As far as handling was concerned, the big new Suzuki was a step up from the plethora of 1000cc machines. Despite the fact that the frame of the GSX1100E was pretty conventional, with a tubular steel duplex frame and twin rear shock absorbers, it was the engine that gave it its edge.

Firstly, unlike its competitors, the Suzuki had four valves per cylinder and although the actual valve area was only a small increase over the GS1000, it improved efficiency with fuel economy of between 42 and 48 miles to a gallon.

The Motorcycle Lift and the Benefits These Can Bring to You and Your Garage

The Motorcycle Lift and the Benefits These Can Bring to You and Your Garage
In many ways the motorcycle lift is much the same as the car lift. However it is important to go over the basics of these tools to make sure you are aware of the differences and the safety procedures you must follow to get the most out of them.

People working in the motorcycle market doing jobs in repairs, modification or even the selling of the bike will no doubt have used one of these lifts and will be aware of how useful they are. Motorcycle lifts are large tables in which take the load of the bike and raise it above the ground level so that the user of the lift can then inspect the motorcycle in much more detail as opposed to when the bike is on the ground. Advantages that this can bring are that the person inspecting the bike will not have any strains on their body that are commonly related to repairs that take place on the ground. So if you look at it from a health and safety view then these lifts are a must.
