RAPID TRANSIT BIG CITY TANKBAG Count us as fans of the magnetic tankbag. No straps to mess with, just plop the thing down and you’re good to go. Problem is most mag-bags are too big for the average custom-style bike. All that carrying capacity is nice if you’re an adventure-touring nutter on his way to Tierra del Fuego, but most of us just want enough space to tote a sack lunch, a warmer set of gloves and maybe a tightly packed rainsuit. Rapid Transit to the rescue with its Big City tankbag, a workable 11 x 9.1 x 7.3 inches in size with a clear plastic map sleeve on top. Well-priced, too, at $76.99. www.rapid-transit.com
JUKEBOX RACERS T-SHIRT How to “out-wardrobe” your buddies at the next café-racer run? Simple, order up a JukeBox Racers T-shirt from CaraibiRockers, an Italian clothing outfit run by three friends into “vintage speed machines, rock-n-roll music, traditional tattoos, rum and old stories about Caribbean pirates.” Sounds like a party! At 30 euros (about $40) plus shipping, a little pricey, but you’ll be the only one so-attired and that’s gotta be worth a few bucks, no? www.caraibirockers.com
FAST FROM THE PAST REARSETS As the name suggests, Fast from the Past specializes in performance parts for classic and vintage motorcycles. Included in the company catalog is a variety of Italian-made Tarozzi rearsets – you can’t go fast, after all, if your tootsies are dragging in the corners. Shown here is the $295 set for Honda CB750 and 900Fs. Other brands/models are available, and all parts are sold separately in different lengths, shapes and sizes, so almost any model can be fitted. www.fastfromthepast.com
