In Hot Bike’s first 2017 issue, the Candy department was ‘roided up to 70 items or so. We were bringing you the latest and greatest from around the custom motorcycle industry so you’d have plenty to work on in the weeks leading up to the official start of the riding season. Here’s the first big chunk of products for you to feast on!
These bagger floorboards are extended 2-1/2 inches in front and are 3/4-inch wider and 2-1/2 inches longer in the rear. Instigator boards mount like stock boards using the stock hardware. These extended Instigator front floorboards go nicely with Accutronix new heel-toe shifters and brake arm kits. For the 1987–later FLH and FLT, the company also makes matching rear boards. These FLH floorboards are machined from 6061 T-6 billet aluminum. They are available in either a chrome-plated finish or in Accutronix Night Series finish wherein the parts are black anodized and machined again for contrast. The insert is a multidirectional slip-resistant black pyramid-top rubber. Made for ’84–later FLH and FLT baggers and ’86–later FLST.

The Monster Sucker 90 air cleaner kit features Ness’ patented Big Sucker “hidden breather” technology and more filter surface area than any other kit on the market for maximum performance. Ness hidden breathers are O-ringed at the heads and exit out the mouth of the injector/carb to provide efficient engine breathing, eliminating the need for any external hoses or hardware. The inverted 90-degree style filter features a built-in inverted top to pull in air not only from all sides of the filter but also the front, resulting in more airflow. Each filter is constructed from synthetic material that is water resistant. Filters are reusable and do not require oil. Covers are forged from billet aluminum then CNC machined. Kits are available in standard (without billet cover), deep cut, 10-guage, or beveled styles. The 2017–later Touring model applications include throttle body cover.
Avon Grips, based in Kingwood, Texas, says its new Memory Foam Grips are the softest, most durable, chemical-resistant grip on the market today. A true vibration-dampening grip. The grips are available in small, medium, and large diameters for all Harley-Davidsons and most metric cruiser bikes. Chrome and black anodized aluminum ends are also available.
Made for Victory with OEM fitment, the Victory Lane Daytona Rear End Kit consists of saddlebags, rear fender, and side panels.
