WELCOME TO ARIZONA NACHO– Saturday, September 8, at 6:00 pm at the Roadrunner Saloon on New River Road at the I-17 exit. The American Freedom Riders are holding a benefit for the family of maliciously imprisoned Border Patrol Agent Nacho Ramos. Band, food, raffle, and fun. J.D. Hayworth will emcee the event and speakers will be announced soon. Admission is $20 per person and proceeds will go to help Monica Ramos keep their house and make the trip from El Paso to Phoenix to visit her husband.
Agent Ramos was transferred to Phoenix on July 20th after spending six months at Yazoo City, Mississippi where he was severely beaten by illegal aliens. Nacho has lost 40 pounds and is in poor emotional condition as he remains in solitary confinement. We are working hard for his release but in the meantime this struggling family needs our help and they will be at the event to thank you.

NEW GLOSS BLACK SISSY BAR AND RACK FROM HARLEY-DAVIDSON–MILWAUKEE (June 29, 2007) – New gloss-black sissy bar and luggage rack components from Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Accessories complement the black-out looks of the new Harley-Davidson Nightster and other Sportster models, and make adding a sissy bar and rack a simple “slide-and-click” proposition. The Detachable Sissy Bar Sideplates (P/N 52710-07, $139.95) and Short Rail Sissy Bar Upright (P/N 52706-07, $68.95) combination is lower than traditional low uprights, and the hidden backrest pad mounting system provides a sleek look when the pad is removed. The Tapered Luggage Rack (P/N 53510-07, $105.95) provides a solution for toting lunch across town or luggage across country. All fit most 2004-later XL models. See dealer for fitment details.

FLT/FXR SWING ARM RETROFIT KIT–Custom Cycle Engineering has developed a swingarm conversion kit that replaces the stock Cleve Bloc style swing arm bushings with spherical bearings. The conversion covers all the FLT and FXR models from 1980 to 2001. The swingarm conversion kit coincides with Harley-Davidson?s change from the Cleve Bloc bushing to a spherical bearing in all the 2002 and up FLT models.
The conversion over to spherical bearings in the early models dramatically changes the handling and tracking of all the FLT?s and FXR?s. The sticksion at the swing arm pivot is greatly reduced with the new spherical bearings. This allows for the swingarm to react quicker to any harsh road conditions keeping the wheel in contact with the road. The use of spherical bearings also helps negate any lateral and torsional movement in the swingarm by the shear dynamics of a spherical bearing.
The swingarm bearing conversion kit is a positive answer to the inherent ill handling problems of the popular Dresser models.
Note:Along with the installation of the Swing Arm Conversion Kit, Custom Cycle Engineering recommends the replacement of the old Rubber Mount Isolators with new replacements (P/N 47564-86 B).

Damn–Almost spaced on the final chapter. I?m sitting here, twiddling my thumbs, waiting for the girls to wrap up the news. Then it dawned on me, the ending wasn?t polished to a luxurious finish.
I believe I?ll post another Bonneville Report tomorrow or Saturday, along with a report about Accurate Engineering, the only engine builder on the planet who currently builds state of the art Panheads. He?s the only builder who builds handbuilt performance engines to your specifications and they come so complete, you basically plug it in, hook up the gas line and go for a very fast ride. We hope to put one of his engines in the 200 mph club this year in Bonneville.
Hang on for more features, techs, girls and well, you know. I?ve got to scramble back into the shop and you?ll see it all start to come together this weekend. Unless you?re in Sturgis. Bastards.
Ride Forever,
–Bandit
