This section is intended as a useful list of aftermarket company addresses and phone numbers. Most of these you can find in any Harley-related magazine, but I'd also like to add opinions on each company.
I had the occasion to adapt a late model Harley FL for disabled riding. During this period, I consulted with Pat, one of the managers at Performance Machine. You gotta remember, these folks are busy! Pat took the time to work with me on several configurations, provided invaluable advice and assistance, all by phone or mail.
I don't suggest every rider doing work on his/her ride's brakes pester this company with questions a dealer or shop can handle. Otherwise, none of us will get any brake parts, since they'll be buried in phone calls. But, if you have a situation needing special expertise, you'll get straight talk from this firm.

I currently race a Buell, which had a CV Carb. Nothing but problems!
Dead spots, Roll the throttle slow. Even spent $400.00 to have it
tuned. No help!!!!
I went to see Red Edmundson at QuickSilver and his crew installed the QuickSilver II 40MM. I am impressed, this Carb works. It has no accelerator pump and one jet. The Carb is slid action and works off vacum. When air crosses the jet, fuel is mixed in. With the air filter off you can see nothing but a mist in the mouth of the Carb when you hit the throttle.
I am currently using a K&N 3 inch air filter for max air intake. The Carb comes with several dif jets, air filter and new cables. You can also install an aftermarket airfilter if you like. Thunder Alley December 1995 issue has a article on installation which is basically simple. As far as rejetting: I compete at Willow Springs, Ca., Las Vegas, NV, and Phonix and have not had to change the jet. Overall the performance increase was magnificient.
"Reviews of the product are mixed when it comes to quality, but the general opinion is that if you get a good one its a really good one. Reviews of the company itself are less than flattering when it comes to delivery and service. Work with a dealer not straight with the factory."
We are the only sidecar company that has video to show how our sidecars mount to FLH, FXR, FXSTS, FXE and Sportys... We also have video to show how our trailers look with Harleys AND how our trailer tows hauling ass...
Bill Burton (bburton@us.DHL.COM), ASSHOLE #27 and a keeper of the R.M.H FAQ, adds:"I have had my suspension mods on fer a coupla weeks now and wanted to report on them. I went to Works Fork Springs in the front with 1/2" over spacer. These are actually made by Progressive FWIW.
In tha rear I installed Works Street Shockers. These are alum bodied shocks with two black springs which provide a progressive rate. They have fully adjustable dampning and preload. I went 3/4 over in tha rear. These are custom built for each order with the riders weight (225 lbs) and riding style (aggressive) used as variables in tha manf. process.
Also, mine is the first Dyna with these shocks so my Poser value just shot through tha roof!
These are some mahvelous components. The Supersickle is very confidence inspiring and, while I have scraped tha pegs, I have not slammed the frame as I did three times w/stock suspension. I have jumped (small) the sled twice now, something I would have never attempted stock.
There is a section of road in tha Oakland Hills out here that consists of 5, 10, and 15 mph turns seperated by small straights. This road is now fun instead of scary. Leaned over hitting tha gas tha Supersickle fishtails telling me that I don't need much more power for my application."
Advanced Motorcycle Service, Inc. 627 Pulaski Highway Joppa, Maryland 21085 (410)679-AMS1 (2671) Rick (rfrance@cris.com) writes: "I took my '89 FXR to them for lower end service. They were upfront about everthing, and saved me 20-30% off HD Dealer pricing. The real surprise came when not only did I get my FXR back earlier than quoted, for the price quoted, but the performance was exceptional. I went back to the shop to thank them and ask just what they did. The mechanic that worked on my bike said that he noticed that the carb wasn't jetted correctly, so he rejetted it... No Charge! This is the kind of service that keeps you coming back for more! I reccomend them to ANYone who wants quality work at better than average prices." |

Evolution Industries BIG TWIN Maintenance & Development Unit C6, 2a Victoria Avenue Castle Hill NSW 2154 Phone: +61 2 894 7115 Fax: +61 2 894 8114 (If calling from within australia please ignore the +61 2 business and just use the sydney area code, which is 02) "I recently (christmas 95) bought myself a new dyna superglide. After the first service, I noticed that there was a rattling in my pipes, which the dealer said was 'standard'. After taking it to Big-Twin Evolution Industries for a performance tune-up, they told me that they had found a 3/16th washer floating around in the header pipes. The funny thing was that I never even mentioned to them about the noise, they said they noticed it on a test ride of my bike and fixed it up for free. Their mechanic is probably the best in Australia as he does the Harley racing team and their service and support are second to none. I must say that I am very impressed with their service and assistance and I will be going back again and again... Ward Britton" |

Watson's Wheels of Madness 2900 East Broadway Alton, IL. 62002 618.463.1483 I think almost anyone on the Harley Digest will vouch for the owner of this shop: "cheezie@ezl.com" You can find examples of his technical advice elsewhere on WWGlide. Here's his plug for his shop: "We are a custom HD aftermarket shop but also do stock bikes. We have a full machine shop with a full time machinist and two part timer's, nuclear certified welder, fabricators, two HD Factory Certified Technicians, painter/graphic artists, and a chrome plater. Everyone at the shop has many, many years of experience in their individual field...well over a hundred plus years of combined experience. We also do parts (all major distributors), trannies, motors, paint and chrome plating by UPS...price list available for the chrome plating service. I am easily accessed by e-mail for technical advice and support...of course." |
