Revolution Manufacturing unveils new King Knurl accessories for baggers and more!–Revolution Manufacturing, the world leader in carbon fiber technology for the v-twin, has recently delved into the world of billet aluminum. And with the introduction of its new King Knurl, the first of many styles to come, shows their diversification in the marketplace.
The first parts in the line are aimed directly at the very hot bagger market with floorboards, gas cap lids, speaker grilles, dash inserts, brake pedal cover, and shifter and foot pegs. The floorboards use a new, patented, underside for better appearance and durability. Parts are available models up to and including the new 2009?s.
?We continue to expand our production and have recently added a state of the art CNC machine shop complete with CNC mills, lathes, CNC plasma, and even waterjet cutting equipment to enhance our carbon fiber production operations? states Michael Kamalian, CEO of Revolution Manufacturing. ?The bottom side of existing floorboards are just plain ugly and the plastic add-ons are just not sufficient for more than show? states Michael. ?We constructed a whole new, patented, bottom side that looks as good as the rest of the parts. And with our accent cuts on our new King Knurl, which consists of massive ?? diamond knurling gloss black anodized, the visual effects are stunning as well as providing a firm grip while riding?.
Revolution Manufacturing is currently shipping the King Knurl parts as well as looking for dealers/distributors.
Revolution Manufacturing stunned the v-twin market back in January 2005 with the release of the only carbon fiber frame for the v-twin followed by the highly successful carbon fiber wheels for v-twins in 2006. It has received many awards including Hot Bike?s most innovative product award and the first annual Teresi V-Twin award.
Revolution Manufacturing is located at 1435 Field Park Circle Bldg 100 Marietta Georgia 30066. Michael and his team can be contacted at 770-420-9191 or via the web at www.RevolutionSpeed.com.
ON THE SPOT BIKERNET REPORTING FROM ROGUE– Rogue approached an attractive younger woman at a shopping mall.’Excuse me; I can’t seem to find my wife. Can you talk to me for a couple of minutes?’
The woman, being nice said, ‘Of course, sir. Do you know where your wife might be?’
‘I have no idea, but every time I talk to a woman with tits like yours, she seems to appear out of nowhere.’

HARLEY DAVIDSON DEALERS CASE SETTLES FOR $90,000–This is just one example of ARB fines in California. Did you know that all motorcycles represent ZERO PERCENT of emissions when stacked against all the other bad guys. We’re working on a study to shine some light on this subject. We’re discovering that it may be all about the money. In 2007 ARB fine garnered the ARB more than 10 million bucks. Here’s just one story:
On a routine inspection in March, 2007 of Harley Davidson dealers located in California, it was found that some dealers were selling motorcycles built by Thunder Mountain Motorcycle Company that had not been certified by ARB.
The Thunder Mountain motorcycles found in violation were built by a manufacturer located in Colorado that had only certified one model of their line of motorcycles for sale in California for model year 2006 and 2007.
The motorcycles found in violation used a Harley Davidson engine and transmission. A Notice of Violation was issued to San Diego Harley Davidson with penalties of $35,000.00 for violations of H&SC 43150-43153.
A Notice of Violation was also issued to Bartels’ Harley Davidson located in Marina Del Rey with penalties of $35,000.00 for violations of H&SC 43150-43153. A Notice of Violation was also issued to Harley Davidson of Sacramento with penalties of $20,000.00 for violations of H&SC 43150-43153.
To settle their case in June 2007, the manufacture paid the penalties for all of the dealers and removed the illegal non-California-certified motorcycles that were left in the dealers’ stock from California. Thunder Mountain has now certified all of its models for 2007 with ARB.

TWO 1950s AUTO SHOW CARS TO SHARE THE SPOTLIGHT AT RM?S ‘AUTOMOBILES OF ARIZONA’ EVENT–Two unique and rare examples of automotive styling ? a record-breaking, Hemi-powered 1954 Dodge Firearrow III Sport Concept by Ghia, and a one-of-a-kind 1950 Saturn ?Bob Hope Special? are set to star at RM?s prestigious ?Automobiles of Arizona? event, January 16th in Phoenix, Arizona.
PHOENIX, Arizona (November 10, 2008) ? A rare, record-breaking 1954 Dodge Firearrow III Sport Concept by Ghia and a one-of-a-kind 1950 Saturn ?Bob Hope Special? will take centre-stage at RM?s prestigious Automobiles of Arizona event, January 16th in Phoenix, Arizona.
Each unique examples of automotive styling from the 1950s, the Arizona auction marks the first time these particular one-off cars have come to auction.
The 1954 Dodge Firearrow III Sport Concept was the Chrysler Corporation?s answer to the sports cars that were known to be on the drawing board for Ford Thunderbird and the already released design of the 1953 Corvette. The third in a series of four unique Firearrow concept cars made, it has been said that this concept car had the skillful blending of the best ideas from Europe and the American design studios of Virgil Exner, and brought an entirely new kind of beauty with a look of poised power.
Introduced at the 1954 Detroit Automobile Show, the Firearrow III was the company?s main attraction at all the major auto shows that year. Unlike other concepts, this example was built to ?show and go? thanks to its superb engineering, detailed design and of course the legendary Hemi engine. Built as a fully operational show car, details of the car are picture perfect ? windows roll up and down, the car sets on 15″ chrome-plated wire wheels, and the quadruple exhaust pipes on the rear fenders and in working condition as opposed to being merely decoration.
Also set to appeal to those with an affinity for the rare and unusual ? although differing to Chrysler?s idea cars in that it was built without the backing of a corporation or sponsor – is the 1950 Saturn ?Bob Hope Special?, also affectionately known as the ?Bob Hope Special?. A one-off early sports custom built at a reported cost of $12,000 by father and son team, Lloyd, Don and Bob Templeton, this extraordinary example became the most famous and most published custom bodied car in the United States between 1950 and 1953.
Built on a modified Mercury chassis, this unique custom features completely handmade steel coachwork, three-speed transmission, two-speed Columbia rear end and a full race Mercury flathead engine. With a 7 ? foot long front hood and a dashboard resembling an airplane cockpit with 32 different instruments and controls, the car?s unique styling contributions came from a variety of different marques.
These unique motor cars will join over 120 exceptional vintage automobiles at RM?s prestigious Automobiles of Arizona auction event, January 16th at the luxurious Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. An auction preview will be held January 15th from 9am to 5pm, followed by the auction on January 16th from 11am. Admission to the auction is by catalog only, which admits both the catalog holder and a guest. The full-color collectable catalog is available for $100 U.S. (plus shipping), by calling (800)-211-4371 or visiting www.rmauctions.com
