Stealth Fxr Pipe Install

he FXR is still held in the highest regard when it comes to performance-based Harley-Davidsons. This is the reason why a bike made decades ago is still getting new parts made for it Take the Stealth pipe, for instance All of the Stealth systems are made one by one from 304 stainless steel, which is the best type of stainless tubing for taking the punishment that 2-into-1 pipes can endure. The stainless tubing is mandrel bent at the Stealth Pipes facility, and then the whole pile of parts are TIG welded into the work of functional art you see here. HB

FIRST MFG CO. HUTCH GLOVE

This men’s glove features handsome two-tone leather and denim construction throughout, and a nice, simple and effective palm pattern. When I first strapped on the Hutch gloves, I liked the fact that they had a proper-fitting rubber knuckle inlay and a nice-size Velcro-actuated wrist cuff. The gloves fit well after the initial ride, and after only a day or so it felt as if I’d had these gloves for years. I also enjoyed the handiness of the touch tech fingers when working my phone. The fingers were a tiny bit long for me, but I usually find this to be an issue with my apelike palms and stubby fingers, so normal humans shouldn’t have any of the same issues.

Roland Sands Design Launch Glove

The Launch may look like work gloves made out of vintage selvage-style denim, but they are made from so much more. Dyneema fibers are woven into the denim, making it a ton more resistant to road rash than standard jean material. After riding with these for a few hundred miles, I found the doublelayer cowhide palm and the hand-togrip connection to be very comfy. And, as with any glove worth its technical salt, the Launch has cell touch layers in both the index finger and thumb tips for smartphone use. I felt the large-size glove fit more like an XL, so make sure you try before you buy.

PRICE: $85
