the motorcycle aftermarket focused on such things as chrome accessories,
go-fast engine parts, and ever-wider rear tires, it’s easy to forget
the basics—motorcycles are meant to be ridden, not just looked at.
Besides being the visual center of a bike, the engine is its heart and
soul, and while all that chrome stuff will make an engine look great, it
won’t keep it healthy. For that you need timely tune-ups, routine
maintenance, and quality service parts—especially a good air filter.An air filter does more than fill up the space between the outer cover and the backing plate. A good air filter keeps dust, dirt and debris out of the engine. A great air filter does all that, and is washable and reusable, too. Believe it or not, now there’s an air filter that’s even better than great, and Drag Specialties has it. Filtration is any filter’s main task, and Drag Specialties air filters accomplish this with four layers of a surgical-grade cotton filtration material, which stops the microscopic particles that can harm an engine over time, and still flows enough air for good performance. It’s contained with a wire mesh that’s epoxy-coated to prevent rust and designed to maximize airflow and provide peak filtration. It’s 100 per cent washable and reusable, too, so a single ride in the rain or in dusty conditions doesn’t mean you have to throw away a perfectly good filter before its time—in fact, you might never have to throw away a Drag Specialties filter at all. Good sealing between the airbox cover and backing plate is essential to keep air leaks from upsetting the engine’s jetting. Some air filters are made with hard rubber bodies that don’t conform to the shape of the backing plate, and can crack and split over time. Drag Specialties air filters use a precision, hand-poured, pliable urethane body that won’t crack or curl like rubber. Since it’s pliable, urethane conforms to the shape of the air cleaner cover and backing plate more completely, sealing out dirt and leaving jetting unaffected. These new air filters are made in the U.S.A. exclusively for Drag Specialties, and come in Drag Specialties packaging. There are 11 part numbers to fit all popular models of Harley-Davidson Evo and Twin Cam Big Twins, Sportsters, Buells, and S&S air cleaners, with more to be added soon. So when your customers come in looking for the latest chrome accent or high-performance engine mods, remind them that they need a good air filter to help keep their engine running so it can take them to where they can show it all off. |
