Big Gulp
From PSI Powersports comes this elegant guzzler dubbed the 3-D Big Air Carburetor, and it’s an impressive piece of work. This device boasts a dramatically larger float bowl—billet, naturally—and goes on from there to flow the mixture with power-producing efficiency into the chambers, but what’s more, these carbs come on quick with a short throttle pull and close-tolerance three-side slide design. Adjustments to the 3-D couldn’t be simpler, with external click-stop finger screws allowing you to dial your mixture in while the motor’s running. No experimenting with different sized jets is required. The manufacturer claims horsepower gains of 6–15, depending on application, and warrants the 3 three years. The price of the polished 3-D is $995, chrome plating adds another $100.

Paint saver
The Rear Fender Bib recently introduced by Harley-Davidson covers a lot of sins, and prevents even bigger ones from occurring. Designed to fit snugly to the rear fender when the passenger seat has been removed, the bib conceals unsightly mounting holes, but more importantly, serves as a shield for the paint beneath, allowing you to strap gear back there or throw over a set of saddlebags without running the risk of marring the finish. These bibs have a molded base and soft felt liner and there are two versions available, one for Fat Boys and Softail Deluxe models ($69.95) that has a leather panel matched to the stock seat, and one for Sportsters ($59.95) constructed of vinyl with a Bar & Shield embossment.

Look sharper
Custom accessories don’t come much sharper… literally… than these Flamed Billet Scimitar Mirrors from Pro-One. Machined from solid billet aluminum, these wicked beauties are like a good argument: edgy and pointed. They’re available either chrome-plated or black-anodized for $134.95 each and will make any machine more menacing. The only drawback we see to these units is that you might be so transfixed by their looks that you’ll neglect to actually check the rear view.

Advanced spark
From Morris Magneto comes this new fully automatic Twin Cam Magneto designed to give your Twinkie all the simple virtues of that old/new technology, including quick surefire starts, cooler operation and more efficient performance. It also cleans up your act wiring-wise, which customizers will appreciate. These units are constructed of billet aluminum and feature a number of user-friendly attrib-utes including an integral oiling system, a gear drive access plate and an impulse coupling for compatibility with both kick and electric starts. It mounts up as a direct replacement to your cam cavity cover and looks positively fearsome. Nothing’s cooler than a mag.

Shovel-Pan
Back in the day it was not an uncommon practice to bolt the top end of a Shovelhead to Panhead lowers to create what was known as a Pan-Shovel, so what S&S Cycle appears to be doing with their new Retro Conversion Kit for Shovels is simply turning that procedure on its head. But there’s a lot more to it than that. Though the kit employs what appear to be Panhead uppers, beneath those signature tins are highly evolved components—emphasis on the “evo”—including hydraulic lifters, Quickee adjustable pushrods, and forged roller rocker arms rocking in P-series mounts. This kit will give your Shovel the panache of a Pan while boosting power and reliability significantly. A win/win arrangement, if you ask us.
