Eurocomponents Sprocket Rotor
The new Eurocomponents sprocket rotor kit includes a 51-tooth sprocket that also works as a brake rotor in conjunction with the rear two-piston brake caliper. Everything is on one side of the rear wheel, leaving the other side completely clean-this is a must for a true chopper! The sprocket rotor is made of stainless steel, while the caliper and bracket are machined out of billet aluminum and are available polished or black anodized. They're available for both left- and right-side drive. Front rotors and calipers are available to match. The Eurocomponents sprocket rotor kit fits all Softail and rigid frames.

A Fish Tale
New from Samson for 2006 is a redesigned Fishtail true dual system that has a cutting-edge look and all the qualities needed for today's motorcycles. The entire head pipe is covered by a 220-degree heat shield that is designed to eliminate any visible discoloration. Full-coverage heat shields are better than double-wall pipes because they weigh less and sound better. This system has nonremovable integrated baffles. Now consumers can get a complete system with an all-in-one package price that makes it easy to choose the look they want. The true dual longtail pipes come with a full one-year warranty.

Kustom for Your Custom
Kustomwerks presents its new stretched, smooth-top, all-aluminum gas tanks, which come in 4- and 5-inch stretch versions and feature a solid, one-piece top for a smooth, custom look. These tanks are made from a special aluminum alloy that hardens with age but retains enough flexibility so as not to "work harden" and split. The tanks are formed in two pieces using 3mm-thick plate instead of the usual multi-panel construction, giving them a more uniform shape and fewer welded seams. All tanks have reinforced billet mountings, an internal vent pipe, and use a screw-in gas cap. Each tank comes with custom mountings and weld-on brackets.

Follow the Guide
The Biker's Guide to Texas: 25 Great Motorcycle Rides in the Lone Star State by Dorothy Waldman is the book Texas bikers and visitors have been waiting for. Dorothy includes plenty about what to see and do along the way, but she focuses on the rides: where to go, what signs to look for, how far the next turnoff is, when to be especially alert for what's around a sharp bend, and when you can expect to relax a bit and just cruise. The guide is a must-have for any motorcyclist heading out on the open road in search of scenery, great routes, and adventure.
