Holiday gift idea: Bluetooth Headset for motorcycle helmets

Friday, November 25th, 2011

I don’t have any experience with these and don’t know which are best. Personally I like being out of touch when on my bike, and less distracted, but some people really like these biker bluetooth headsets as an intercom between helmets, between bikes and to your phone.

Can anyone recommend a bluetooth motorcycle headset that works well?

Digital Speedometer Gauge and Tachometer Gauge from Dakota Digital

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

These are some awesome new digital gauges that are just in from Dakota Digital.

Spike Speedometer/Tachometer

This is one of my favorite speedometer/tachometer combo. As a matter of fact, this particular model is so popular that this is currently sold out.  Don’t worry though, we have more on order from our manufacturer which are due in soon.

Check out our catalog pages on these replacement Harley speedometers here!

If you are really interested in replacing your entire gauge setup and make them all digital, check this 6-gauge kit that plugs directly into your stock wiring. This is an excellent replacement Harley gauge kit. Electronic Harley Gauges are a great way to make your bike more modern and sleek. And plus, making the entire gauge system digital makes it look much better too!

Times are tough, but instead of buying a new bike, just get some new wheels.

Cyron Motorcycle LED lighting modules

Monday, October 19th, 2009

We just started selling these LED lighting kits recently.  They are a 2009 addition to the Custom Chrome catalog.  We ordered a set to try them out and get more info on them.

The one we tested is the red LED pack in the black  housing.

The lights are 1.4″ long x 0.415″ tall by 0.315″ thick.

DSCN7057 tall measurement

thickness

Six individual LED’s make up the unit.  Around 3 feet of wire is provided in each unit.  Two units are in a package.

When powered up the lights were surprisingly bright!  So bright I couldn’t look right at them when inside under moderate lighting, until my eyes adjusted.

Bright LED Lighting for Motorcycles

In fact so bright that my digital camera took crap pictures of them.

These would be great for accent lighting for motorcycles, to light under the gas tank on Harleys to show off the engine at night, maybe even as a third brake light around the license plate.

I did not measure current draw but it will be very low in comparison to incandescent lighting.
