Having your battery pack up on you at any time can be annoying, but Sod's Law says that it will happen at the most inopportune moment. But this dead useful little gauge could give you advance warning of impending doom as its range of LED's indicate the operating voltage of your bike’s electrical system. Green means everything is fine, amber tells you that the system isn't charging, while a flashing red light means the damn things flat.  It also lets you know if there’s something seriously amiss in the electrics department. The gauge is a bit bigger than a box of matches in size, and comes in a chrome or black housing. The two-wire connection means that it’s simple to install, and a daylight sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the LEDs. It costs £33.20 for the black finish, and £39.93 for the chrome. KuryAkyn parts are available from your local Harley Dealer.

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT DUCT TAPE HOLDS THE WORLD TOGETHER
And WD-40 takes it apart. But did you know that WD-40 also protects parts from corrosion? Being located in the Northeast, it can get pretty cold and damp in my garage during autumn, winter, and early spring. And though it’s connected to my
 house, this car, motorcycle, and bicycle storage area is not heated, so a string of damp, nasty days can cause havoc with my shiny stuff. Having been a WD user for many years, but not to the point of having to goto any support groups, I was glad to see that these rust hating folks have come up with a way to protect my chrome wheels and such without a lot of effort on my part. Enter the Big Blast: WD-40 in a fogger can. The Big Blast is an easier and quicker way to shoot WD over larger surfaces thanks to a new, wide area spray nozzle, which puts out a 5inch pattern when held 8inches away from the surface you’re covering. Putting a coat of WD-40 over my bike’s chrome parts, such as wheels, front ends, etc. helps to prevent corrosion, rust, and those evil little brown blisters that pop up in chrome when it’s been exposed to moisture for a prolonged time.
And the best part is that you can get WD-40’s Big Blast at the same places you get your normal spray lube fix, your local hardware or auto parts store. You don’t even have to make a special trip.

Harley MP3
 Gives New Meaning to Solid State
The Harley Davidson brand packs a wallop - currently rated in the Top 50 most valuable brands in the world, it's most potent attribute is loyalty. How many other brands does one find tattooed on a customer's chest? And that is no isolated incident - just ask down at the local tattoo parlour. The HD logo regularly finds its way onto biceps too.
 
The genuine Harley Davidson Road Tech MP3/WMA Digital Music Player is designed so it can be operated while wearing thick leather gloves while riding a motorcycle. The four large soft-touch buttons are back-lit and the unit has an illuminated LCD display so that if you really do need to take your eyes off the road to scroll through the play-list or turn it up for "Born to be Wild," you can do it at night too.
 
Another advantage of the solid state design for motorcycles is there are no moving parts so the music is skip-free on rough roads compared to the CD player. 
 The complete kit includes: Road Tech HA90 MP3/WMA Digital Music Player, housing assembly in choice of chrome or black, USB 2.0 SD card reader/writer with engraved "Bar & Shield" logo, USB connection cable for your PC, 64 MB Secure Digital (SD) memory card, wiring harness and installation hardware and operation manual. System Requirements are as follows: Windows 98 SE or later version operating system and USB port. Available in black too, both at US$299.95
