CARING FOR YOUR RIDE

As Harley-Davidson riders, we have high expectations in the quality of our rides. We

want to be able to hop on our motorcycles and not have a care in the world. That being said, we should always use high quality products to make sure our rides are ready to go.

Oil is the lifeblood of your engine. Oil has multiple purposes for our engines. Not only does it lubricate the moving components of our engines; it also cools down our engines and cleans the byproducts left by combustion. Oil also has to live in a very harsh, hot environment so only the proper products will suffice. Harley-Davidsons complete line of lubricants are formulated specifically to keep your motorcycle running strong, mile after mile.

Harley-Davidsons SYN3 full Synthetic Motorcycle Lubricant is definitely a recommended product. It’s developed specifically to provide maximum performance and protection in Harley-Davidsons powertrains. SYN3 offers superior wear protection at higher temperatures. It also keeps engines, transmissions and primary chaincases cleaner. SYN3 also meets the anti-wear lubricity requirements of all transmission gears.

You should use Harley-Davidsons oil in your Harley because no one tests as much as they do. “We accumulate millions of testing miles on our engines and drive trains, using only H-D Oil. We test in the harshest environments – Testing is performed in the extreme heat of the desert. We test under the most rigorous duty cycles – accelerated durability testing helps explore the limits of our designs, in less time. This is a worst-case scenario for oil. We run thousands of hours on dynos. We test in the laboratory – sampling and analyzing oil to determine its life and effectiveness during use. H-D’s additive package is the best available. It’s the most robust, it was created exclusively for H-D powertrains, and we are the only ones who have it.”

Oil isn’t the only way we take care of our rides. Not only do we expect them to perform the best, but look the best as well. Harley-Davidson offers a wide selection of products to help you maintain that beautiful look. Are you more focused on riding rather than cleaning? Or maybe you just don’t have a lot of time on your hands to clean your Harley. Quick Wash is the perfect product for you. It’s fast and easy to use. You simply spray Quick Wash on and hose it off. It’s safe to use on all the surfaces of your motorcycle.

After you wash it of course you’re going to need to dry it off. Harley-Davidson offers you a few products to help you out with that. The Synthetic Drying Chamois is made of synthetic material that is safe for use on all surface finishes. This ensures extra absorbency without steaking. It’s also Machine washable! If you don’t want to wipe down your whole bike after you wash it the HOG Blaster Motorcycle Dryer is a great alternative for you. It’s a powerful dryer that blows a stream of warm, dry, filtered air at 18,000 feet a minute. This allows you to avoid those pesky water spots from hard to reach areas of the bike.

After washing your bike it’s time to detail it even further. The Harley-Davidson Gloss Detailer is a great option for those of you with a gloss finish on your bike. Simply spray the product on the area you need to detail further and wipe it off with a microfiber towel. You can also detail your vinyl, plastic, windshields and chrome with this great product. Those of you with a denim finish have no fear! You can detail your Denim paint with Harley-Davidson’s Denim Paint Cleaner. Denim Paint Cleaner was specifically formulated for denim paint. It won’t streak or leave residue behind.

It’s time to get those bikes out and ready to ride! Come on in to Doc’s Harley-Davidson today to check out even more great products to care for your ride.

would like to introduce all our readers and supporters to an awesome new family owned and operated aftermarket parts, apparel, and upholstery motorcycle shop that caters to not only the seasoned rider and mechanic, but also the new rider and everyone in between. It is, Barstool Gypsy, and they are conveniently located on west Main Street in Belleville, IL.

Owner’s, Mike and Char have been in the motorcycle industry for a long time, about 30 years combined, and have extensive knowledge in parts, apparel, sales and customer service. They have worked for different large dealerships like Gateway H-D and Doc’s H-D. While working for these Harley dealers, Mike and Char would always have customers and friends asking them about fixing their leather seats on their bikes and saddle bags, fix broken zippers on their jackets and vest’s, and aftermarket parts. They decided to fix this problem. Mike started taking classes on sewing, stitching, and upholstery. He found out he really enjoyed working in that craft and became quite good. It started out as a little work on the side for some extra money. As time went on, he kept getting more and more customers and it got to the point where he couldn’t handle doing all the side work and working a full-time job. He was working seven days a week day and nights. That will wear you out quick. Something had to be done.

Mike and Char sat down together and after a long conversation, decided they wanted to open their own shop that would offer all the things that their customers asked them about and at much better prices than the large dealerships.

That day was the beginning of Barstool Gypsy. No one said it would be easy and they knew they had a long tough road ahead of them. But they took their time and got it done. They wanted Barstool Gypsy to be perfect when the doors opened. When you walk through the front doors all you can really think is Page 18

WOW!! This store is awesome!!!! It is clear they took their time in setting everything up so that it would be perfect for their customers.

Their huge selection of apparel could keep you shopping for hours. Mike and Char definitely want to keep this in the family. They brought in Mike’s daughter, Madison, to be the Motorclothes and Apparel Manager. Madison often has little helpers. Carter, Char’s grandson and Daisy, her English Bulldog. Don’t be surprised if you have a few extra hands and paws helping you find what you are searching for. Madison has great knowledge of all the hottest new trends and apparel. She can get you all set up with whatever you need. From leather jackets, boots and chaps, to jewelry, rain gear and sunglasses.

All quality products, reasonably priced and ready for you to take home.

You can find pretty much anything you need for your bike.

They stock almost every gasket and O-ring to completely rebuild sportsters, evo’s, twin-cams, transmissions and primaries. They stock regulators, stators and batteries. Multiple brand name lines of synthetic and conventional motor oil, oil filters as well as primary, transmission, fork and gear oils. They stock a full line of brake pads, cleaning supplies, fuel treatments and tons of aftermarket accessories to dress your bike up as you wish. I could keep going but I’m sure you get the point. If they don’t have something you need in stock, they can custom order it for you. They can order aftermarket parts from companies like Drag Specialties, Vance & Hines, Kuryakyn, Arlen Ness, Le Pera and many others. Sometimes you can get your order in as quick as one day without paying for shipping.

If you need any parts, accessories or apparel, Barstool Gypsy is your one stop shop.

“OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW” T

J’s Bar and Grill, located in Pevely Missouri, has been in business for 26 years. Through those years owners, Terry and Sue Sharp, have met some amazing people and have made a lot of fond memories. From Fundraisers to Poker Runs to live music and their amazing Barbecue and Shrimp boils every Sunday.

Now that they are getting ready to celebrate their 26th year in business, Terry and Sue felt it was time for a change. They put their heads together and decided that a facelift was in order. As they say, “Out with old, in with the new.”

TJ’s went from a sports bar theme, to more of a cozy country western theme. He brought in all new lighting and décor, put in all new flooring in the backroom. And of course, for those who like to play a round or two of pool, He brought in a brand new pool table.

May 4th, Terry and Sue cordially invite you to come out and celebrate their 26 years in business as they are hosting an Anniversary Party with great food and drink special.

Mark your calendars for that day and make sure you stop by, say hey to the Sharp’s and check out the all newly improve TJ’s Bar and Grill. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. www.FullThrottle-Magazine.com

“Drag Specialties NVP Product Expo”

H

ow’s it going Full Throttle readers, Zach White here to give you the latest and greatest info from St. Charles Harley-Davidson. Weather is starting to turn for the better with more sunlight in our evening to allow for some nice sunset rides after a long days work. Make sure to check that tire pressure as the weather warms up. As most of you know already we lost a great friend and family member of St. Charles Harley-Davidson and the St. Louis motorcycle community. Our North Eastern Parts Specialist, Jack Dugas passed away in February while out enjoying a great night of music which was one of his favorite things to do. We are having a “Celebration of Life” for Jack at the Dealership outside on Sunday, April 7th @ 1pm and is open to everyone. The employees are going to take a short ride in his honor before the Celebration. If anyone would like to join we ask that you are at the Dealership around 10am and kickstands up at 11am. Check out our Facebook page or give Sandy or myself a call at the dealership for more details. This month I want to touch on another Aftermarket Expo I got to attend and bring back some knowledge for you. Let’s get started on some of the product available from some of the top manufactures in the motorcycle industry.

When it comes to safety on a motorcycle, it’s all about seeing and being seen. Custom Dynamics has been providing that for us in the motorcycle industry with there life time warranty LED’s. The all new ProBEAM line is everything you would expect out of lights.

When you go down the country roads at night you will know when that deer is coming your way with the LED headlight that will light up the road and both sides of the ditches. Also one of our biggest sellers are the turn signal inserts. The dynamic ringz front turn signals are white running lights going down the road and when you hit the turn signal they turn amber.

This gets the attention of on coming cars in both day and night riding. It’s really amazing the amount of light that they put out. Then for the rear turn signal inserts it will give you some extra running and brake lights because they are a red LED’s. Another awesome new light they came out with that I will be installing on my Streetglide soon is the single row rear saddlebag lights. These allow for run/brake/turn and since they are on the saddlebags it gives a wide view of lights to the rear. One thing that the stock Roadking Special, Streetglide and Roadglides are lacking is rear visibility. With these new saddlebag lights you get that and a clean look all at the same time. To finish off that rear end of those bikes, add the tri-bar rear fender light which converts it to run and brake so you won’t have to worry about someone not seeing you as they are coming up quick. Come in and check out all the new Custom Dynamic lights on display.

The next manufacture, LA Choppers always brings something new to the table each year but I wasn’t expecting much at the NVP show since they just released the all new Prime Apes a few months back. Well much to my surprise as I was walking up to the booth the bars on display caught my eye. Yeah, they looked like your normal Twin Peak bar that they are very famous for but just “Fatter”! For all you wanting that Fat 1.5” diameter bar here it is, the “GRANDE” line of bars. The Grande’s are available in the Tree Hugger, Standard Ape, Twin Peaks and the all new Prime Ape. Come in and check them out in person. You won’t be disappointed with any of LA Choppers bars as they will give you the most natural wrist position.

For comfort, performance and all around best handling on two wheels Legend Suspension is the only name you need to know. At the NVP show I was able to see in action what they have out for the all new Softail Family from Harley-Davidson. The Air Ride will get the shortest rider flat foot and also give that performance rider

the clearance to dip real tight into the next corner with the wide range of travel all by the push of a button. Myself and many clients of mine that have invested will agree with me when I say, “Once you put Legend Suspension on your motorcycle you will never go back”! From the Axeo front suspension to the Revo and Air ride rear suspension, Legend Suspension has something for every rider looking for nothing short of the best.

Now for some Tunes coming out of your Touring bike. HOG TUNES has recently released the all new Wild Boar Audio line up. These sound better then anything they have ever had. With a 400 watt amp for the fairing speakers, to a 600 watt amp for fairing and tour pak speakers you will without question hear and be heard as you pull up to the first bike night of the year. If that isn’t enough for you then keep adding with a 300 watt amp and another set of speakers in the fairing lowers or saddlebag lids. You will be a rolling concert coming down the road jamming to your favorite band like you are in the front row.

Also for the older touring bikes HOG TUNES has some great upgraded speakers and a new 225 watt amp to go with them. Come in and check out our all new Wild Boar Audio and HOG TUNES displays so you can hear it before you buy it.

Before you get ready for your first weekend getaway or week long trip make sure you are ready. Saddlemen has you covered with the all new Tactical Sissy Bar and Tour Pak bags. These have a honeycomb frame to maintain the shape even when its empty so you don’t get any sagging on the side of your luggage rack or passenger seat. Also another new item that Saddlemen has released is the LS Road Sofa seat with a Carbon Fiber inlay. Before you could only get this seat in the diamond stitching which isn’t for everyone. This will give you the extra miles for that trip plus complete that custom look you are going for. We have a complete selection of Saddlemen Sissy Bar bags, Tour Pak bags, throw-over saddlebags & seats available on display so come check them out and take a seat for a test ride so you can feel the difference.

Last I want to touch on a new product available from Arlen Ness. The name is very familiar with the motorcycle industry and one of the longest aftermarket manufactures around. From wheels, air cleaners, foot controls and the list goes on. You know you are getting a top notch product when Arlen Ness’s name is on it. This year the product that really got my attention was the all new wrapped wide fender. The wide tire baggers are the new big thing but took some shaving of the front fork sliders to get that 180mm front tire between it. Well Arlen Ness took that fun part out of it and now is offering a fender that will allow that wide front wheel and tire to go on without shaving the sliders. This will cut down on labor and buying or shaving down your sliders and getting them re chromed or powder coated. I can’t wait to get one in the shop and on a build.

We have a busy April for you all to enjoy. April 4th will be the first bike night of the year with the FMX Freestyle Motocross in action. Rentals will be in full swing April 8th so when your friends or family come into town they don’t need to borrow your bike.

"We Buy Junk Cars�

Â?Â? Â?

Â

S

Lola

o most of you know I am a car builder and have been for many years and to be sure I always have business, I may have on more than one occasion, brought or asked an attractive women to pose by my car. By doing this, It makes people stop to take photos of the cars and then they talk to me about the cars. This seems to be a sure fired way I can pick up more business. If this works it can’t be wrong? Some of you guys might see a beautiful girl driving or standing next to a Bad Ass car and think; “Oh that has to be her boyfriend or husbands car?” I, myself, don’t think that. I just think she is even hotter and want to know more about the car. Okay, maybe the girl too. ;-) Well, that brings us to Heidi and her ’68 Camaro that she has owned for 5 years. Heidi told me that she has the best husband in the world, Rich who bought her this Camaro as a birthday gift in London, England in 2014. They lived about 3 hours from where he bought the car so he had to drive it home and just outside of London the engine blew up. Being very frustrated and neither really knew much about cars at the time Rich told Heidi they were going to take it back. She quickly answered “HELL NO”. we are not!!!

Luckily Heidi has a Cousin, Michael T. Brown, who knows a lot and can build a wicked motor. The bad thing is he had to fly to England to do this one. So within 3 weeks it was out and rebuilt using some of the best parts around. It started with a Mark IV 454 bored 60 over, blue printed & balanced, Ferrea valves, solid lifters, Eagle rods, 10.5:1 pistons, Gilmer belt drive system, Page 36

Hooker Super Comp headers, MSD ignition system, a Holley 750 carb and so many more. The power is put to the 3:73 gears in a narrowed 12 bolt rear end using a 4 link and QA-1 coil overs through a Turbo 350 with a B&M 2400 stall Hole Shot convertor and a shift kit with Heidi slapping the Hurst Pro-Matic shifter showing she is in charge.

As you can see in one of the photo’s Heidi has learned a lot about cars, she is the one who installed the Global West tubular control arms, Wilwood disc brakes at all 4 corners including the Wilwood master cylinder, QA-1 shocks all around and rewired the complete car.

Most everything you see here was done by Heidi, I’m sure she asked Rich and Michael to help from time to time, as we all need extra hands now and again. But, she is very thankful to both and said she couldn’t have done it without them.

She is a proud owner and she wants to do as much as possible which also includes keeping Lola very Show worthy, Even though people complain she is not running inner fender wells, she said she looks Bad Ass without them and will not put them back in to make anyone happy.

I would have to say she has the look and the stance just right, with the Silver paint, all of the chrome blacked out, the Mickey Thompson 29 X 15-15 and 175 X 65-15 mounted on Billet Specialty -Street Lites wheels, front bumper delete, fiberglass hood and deck lid mounted with Dzus fasteners, rear battery cut-off switch with jumper lugs, racing buckets and a full roll cage.

Although, like all cars they are never really done. The next step is to update the interior. But for now Heidi’s plans are to just drive and have as much fun as possible. Which also includes having some guys get upset that their toys aren’t as nice as her LOLA. Photos By Alan Anderson
