for Harley-Davidson touring models to give the rider superior control, ride comfort and height adjustability. Ultimate Ride kits feature FOX shock absorbers, several with rebound adjustment. The FOX shock's custom tuning provides a safe and comfortable ride. Arnott's patents- pending kit offers TruAIR technology with a rugged air spring bladder and shock damper design. For added ride comfort, Arnott offers some Ultimate Ride kits with FOX's rebound adjustment dial, so the rider can quickly and easily modify the internal damping character- istics of the application-specific shocks. At the core of Ultimate Ride kits are two custom nitrogen-charged FOX shock absorb- ers. Using a patent-pending design, Arnott adds a rugged Goodyear air spring to each, ensuring superior comfort, ride quality and durability. Arnott pairs the shocks with a small but powerful compressor, application- specific mounting bracket and air distribution valve block that includes a muffler to control how fast air is released. The Ultimate Ride systems with rebound adjustment — available in black or chrome with matching black or chrome handlebar- mounted inflation switches — retail for $1,599. The Ultimate Ride systems without rebound adjustment — available in black or chrome with matching black or chrome han- dlebar-mounted inflation switches — retail for $1,399. Each Ultimate Ride kit includes everything needed for a fast and flawless installation including a detailed installation manual, fused wiring harness and relay assembly, handlebar- mounted inflation switch, all necessary tubing, wiring, cable ties, fittings, chrome bolt covers and mounting accessories. Each shock is cus- tom-crafted and rigorously tested in Arnott's Florida manufacturing facility and is backed by Arnott's renowned limited lifetime warranty. The new TruAIR Line Includes Smooth Ride kits starting at $599. The Arnott Motor- cycle Air Suspension product line has evolved into two revolutionary categories. Both catego- ries boast Arnott's TruAIR technology — true adjustable air suspension, not just simple air cylinders, "air-assisted" devices or shabby con- traptions built with automotive part castoffs. MUSTANG DEVELOPS SEAT FOR INDIAN ROADMASTER Mustang's newest seat offers significant improvements over the stock seat on Indian's luxury touring Roadmaster model. Stay warm but look cool with high/low dual heating controls for driver and passenger that are hidden beneath Mustang's intricately enhanced diamond-stitched black seat cover. The driver's 15-inch wide seat is 3/4 inches lower and 7/8 inches further back than the stock seat, so the rider feels that he or she is sitting back into the seat. The included driver backrest is easily removable, fully adjustable, folds for storage and quickly installs into the receiver that is built into Mustang's seat. Mustang's reputation for improving pas- senger comfort remains secure with this 15-inch wide rear seat that is contoured for comfort. Pair this seat with Mustang's wrap- around arms and backrest pad for ultimate passenger comfort and enhanced lumbar sup- port. Passengers with the Roadmaster's Trunk Armrest Supports will appreciate Mustang's replacement matching pads that are higher and flatter for much greater forearm support. As with all Mustang seats, the marine- grade fiberglass baseplate, proprietary com- fort foam and individually sewn covers are proudly handcrafted and assembled in Mus- tang's New England facility. ALTRIDER OFFERS BRAKE SYSTEM FOR HONDA AFRICA TWIN AltRider is now stocking its DualCon- trol Brake System for the 2016-17 Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin. This device offers riders better control over their rear brake lever in both seated and standing positions, making it an ideal upgrade for adventure riders look- ing to leave the pavement. AltRider's DualControl Brake System pro- vides quick access to the Africa Twin's rear brake, no matter what position the rider is in. "Most ADV riders change their foot posi- tion as they switch between standing and sitting," explained AltRider founder Jeremy LeBreton. "If your foot is not situated properly on the rear brake pedal, you're potentially doubling reaction time and stopping distance, which can be especially hazardous when riding off-road. The DualControl Brake System aims to correct that problem so riders can maintain control over the rear brake at all times." AltRider's patent-pending DualControl Brake System features two pieces to help enhance a rider's control and reaction time: a riser and an enlarger plate. When a rider tran- sitions from a seated position to a standing position, the change in angle tends to bring the front of the foot higher and further away DIGEST FOCUS PSB Made in the USA www.PowersportsBusiness.com Powersports Business • November 28, 2016 • 17 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 Mustang handcrafts its Indian Roadmaster seat in Three Rivers, Massachusetts.
