Trends can be interesting things to watch especially in the world of motorcycling. With the explosion of everything “custom chopper” in the middle and late 2000’s and the proliferation of high end custom bike builders it looked as though the main stream media driven segment of the biker world was leaning towards “flash and show” over “guts and go.” Throw in the whirlwind of bike building based television shows such as Jesse James, Billy Lane, the guys at Orange County Choppers and more, and many riders began to worry that the world of motorcycling was being flipped on its’ ear. Even with the immense popularity of the Harley Davidson Motor Company over the years they, of course, have their detractors. Those riders who feel that their bike is unique because of the work they have done to it got a bit irked with Harley. With the introduction of such bikes as the Crossbones, the V-Rod, the Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) division and others many felt that the Motor Company was caving to the current trends and not sticking with it roots. “Just give me a solid well running bike and leave the rest to me!” was a common sentiment. Love it or hate it the Sportster line up of Harley bikes has been wildly popular and long lived.

First introduced in 1957 this model line has enjoyed over 50 years of continuous production and many, many revisions and upgrades. Interestingly as the trend for bigger, faster, flashier chopper style machines seemed to be hitting its peak Harley introduced the most basic looking version of the Sportster – the Iron 883. The look of this bike screams “back to basics” and in a good way. It’s simple, understated and ready for anything a rider may want to do to it. With a price tag of under $8000 it’s cheap and comes with everything you need right off the showroom floor. The 3.3 gallon tank, drag bars and mid-mounted foot pegs come standard. The true stand apart feature on this model is that pretty much everything on this machine is blacked out. About the only chrome you’ll find on this are the pipes and the forks. When choosing the Black Denim paint option (the other is “Brilliant Sliver”) you’ve got a blacked out machine with great looks. If you’re looking for an affordable ride without all the chrome and flash of the current trend take a look at the Iron 883. You might just find something you like, a lot.

Three Important Car Maintenance Steps

Aftermarket Articles No Comments


Image : http://www.flickr.com

Your car is an expensive investment, which is why you should take care of it by making sure it’s consistently maintained. The best way to keep your car running as long as possible is to keep track of your maintenance schedule and make sure that it is getting the care it needs when it needs it. Ignoring your car’s mechanical needs is a sure way to end up in the auto repair shop.

The most obvious and frequent maintenance your car needs is an oil change. Your engine relies on the motor oil’s lubricating properties to ensure that all the working parts are functioning properly and with as little friction as possible. Neglecting your oil change can cause your engine to burn itself up. Although many people recommend an oil change every 3,000 miles, most experts agree that every 5 to 6,000 miles is probably more accurate. Make sure you car is getting consistently. Tire rotation is another important task. Every 12,000 miles (or every other oil change) you should rotate your tires so that they don’t develop a deformed wear pattern. This will prolong the life of your tires and keep you safe.

Also, you should make a habit of checking the pressure in your tires every so often. Another important maintenance step is changing your timing belt. This is something that needs doing less frequently than oil changes or tire rotation. Check the owner’s manual of your car to find out when your timing belt needs to be replaced. It’s generally recommended at about 70,000 miles. These important steps will keep your car running as long as possible.

Motorcycle Parts – OEM Or Aftermarket?

Aftermarket Articles No Comments


Image : http://www.flickr.com

This is always a difficult one to answer when shopping for motorcycle parts and I firmly believe that each one of us must decide what’s best for our bikes AFTER carefully evaluating each of the possibilities.

For me?

Well… it really depends on what I am looking for – just replacement or improvement – , the availability of the part, my budget and other things. Sometimes I buy OEM, others aftermarket motorcycle parts.

Keep reading. You will find some views that will hopefully help you decide the next time you shop for motorcycle parts.

What a heck are OEM parts?

OEM parts stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer parts which not necessarily mean the OM (Original Manufacturer) actually produced them. You know, many motorcycle and automobile manufacturers don’t manufacture each of the parts used in their vehicles. They frequently have the parts designed and manufactured by outside independent companies and then, install them in their machines or put them in their own boxes to be sold as OEM parts!

Good to know when buying OEM Motorcycle Parts:

When you buy OEM Motorcycle Parts you are buying the exact same original part the manufacturer used to build your motorcycle, that means:

>> Same performance as the part installed in your motorcycle right now. The part won’t be better nor worse than the original part you want to replace.

>> Normally OEM parts a more (in some cases MUCH more) expensive than aftermarket parts.

>> Motorcycle and car agencies clerks will normally tell you OEM Parts are higher quality and the best option for replacements. Is this true? Well sometimes it is, sometimes it’s not.

>> Normally after a certain period of time, the manufacturer will allow the company that originally designed/produced the part to sell it in their own box at a considerably lower cost, making it: an Aftermarket OEM part! :-)

>> BE CAREFUL if your bike is still in its guarantee period make sure you use only OEM parts and have them installed by authorized mechanics. If you don’t do so, you will probably void the guarantee.

What about Aftermarket parts?

Aftermarket parts should perform as well as OEM parts but are produced by companies other than the original manufacturer(s).

Things to know when buying Aftermarket Motorcycle Parts:

>> MAKE SURE YOUR GUARANTEE PERIOD IS OVER. In many cases, you can VOID your guarantee if you have an aftermarket part installed by an unauthorized mechanic in your machine. I know I said it before, but it’s worth repeating; I happened to me! :-(

>> Equivalent aftermarket Suzuki motorcycle parts are normally cheaper than OEM parts. Sometimes up to 70% cheaper!

>> Aftermarket parts can have lower,the same or higher quality than the original.

>> When buying aftermarket parts make sure you are getting AT LEAST the same quality as the OEM part. If possible try to get some reviews about brands and performance. You can do it in the Internet, with your favorite mechanic or with fellow riders.

>> If you are looking for high performance parts and devices, you know the kind: carbon fiber, titanium, aerospace aluminum parts and gizmos, well you will probably find them as aftermarket motorcycle parts.

OEM or aftermarket motorcycle parts, sooner or later you will be shopping for them…

Enjoy the ride!

Truck Performance 101 – A Beginner’s Guide

Aftermarket Articles No Comments


Image : http://www.flickr.com

Today, the aftermarket gives truck owners more performance options than ever before. However, all the new truck performance products and gizmos can be a little hard to sort through. What you need for your specific truck’s performance will depend on what type of truck you have and what you use it for.

What is performance? Basically, it is the word used to describe speed, fuel consumption rate and towing ability. Performance is primarily measured in terms of horsepower (HP) and Torque.

Horsepower, or HP, is by definition, the power of an engine in comparison to horses. For example, a truck with 100 horsepower is as fast as 100 horses all rolled into one. Horsepower is often indicative of a truck’s top speed. Horsepower does not necessarily mean that a truck is fast from a standing start (see torque) but instead it is often indicative of the speed attainable by a particular truck. This being said other factors such as weight and grade will impact the final speed achieved. In more scientific terms, HP is the common measurement when rating an engine’s power. One horsepower equals 500 ft-lbs. per second, which is basically the power needed to lift 550 pounds one foot off the ground in exactly one second or the power needed to lift 33,000 pounds one foot off the ground in exactly one minute.

Torque refers to a truck’s ability to generate pick up. Torque is one of the most important factors at the beginning of any non-rolling start. It is the ability of the truck to send power to the wheels and turn them – moving the entire truck forward. The dictionary defines it as: “The moment of a force; the measure of a force’s tendency to produce torsion and rotation about an axis…”. The most important thing to remember is that torque is what gets the truck rolling and is very important in towing.

The basics of performance, of course, center on your engine. Think of your engine as basically a big air pump. It breathes air in through the air intake and breathes it out through the exhaust. The easier your engine can breathe the more performance it will deliver. The stock engine you received from the factory comes with OEM air induction and exhaust. Modifying these two areas is relatively easy and can deliver significant increases in both HP and torque. One other primary factor affecting your performance is the engines computer. The stock OEM computer your truck came with is set to a “safe mode” to protect the truck against virtually any driver error…e.g., redlining. Although these settings are meant to protect the truck, they can impede performance significantly. Tweaking your truck’s computer can significantly increase HP and torque while still providing safety to the engine. We’ll look at each of these three performance enhancements below.

Air Intake

The air intake primarily consists of your vehicle’s air filter. Stock air filters are made of pleated paper. The problem with pleated paper is it often tends to become clogged which greatly reduces the airflow. Fragments of paper are ingested or sucked into the intake system creating a hole for gritty contaminants to enter the engine. In addition, these filters have to be replaced often to maintain a basic level of performance. Aftermarket filters are made of cotton gauze or engineered foam. These filters, made by companies like K&N, Airaid, Green Filter and True Flow significantly increase the flow of air through the filter. In addition, these filters defend against dirt at twice the rate or more than their paper counterparts and most come with a lifetime warranty…that’s one filter for the life of your vehicle. Installation of these filters is super easy…just replace your existing factory air filter.

The second factor effecting air intake is the temperature of the air coming into the engine. You’ve probably noticed that your truck runs better on cold days. That is because the air is denser and denser air allows more combustion when mixed with fuel and ignited. Stronger combustion means more power to move your piston in the cylinder. Aftermarket companies…many of the same mentioned above…have developed systems called “Cold Air Intakes”, that move the point of air intake from the top of your engine, which is normally very hot, to a point outside the engine. The result is that the air being sucked into your engine is much cooler than it would be using the normal air filter location. Cold air intakes require a little more handyman skills that just replacing a filter. However, they can be installed easily by anyone that has basic tools.

Exhaust Systems

Exhaust is the “exhale” to your engines lungs. The more twists and turns in the exhaust, the less your vehicle can breathe easily. Exhaust systems come with three primary elements…the muffler, exhaust pipes and muffler tips. The first two are the main ingredients that effect HP and torque. OEM factory exhausts are well made, but not designed to deliver maximum performance. Aftermarket systems from companies like Magnaflow, Banks and Gibson are engineered specifically for each truck and are designed to get the most out of your vehicle. In addition to more power, these systems also deliver an enviable “roar” that will let others know you have tricked out your truck. I do not recommend installing an exhaust system unless you are a true gear head and are prepared for cutting and welding. Although most muffler shops do not carry these products, they will be glad to install them for you.

Computer Chips and Programmers

Your truck’s computer is technically referred to by gear heads as the Engine Control Unit (ECU). The ECU that controls the engine is very complicated. OEM’s program them to satisfy emissions requirements, meet EPA fuel economy requirements and protect the engine against abuse. The computer does this by controlling many aspects of the vehicles performance, but primarily controls the ignition, fuel injection and spark time. As mentioned above, the OEM’s set the default value of the ECU to an “ultra-safe” mode to insure adherence to government guidelines and to protect the engine from abusive driving. Aftermarket companies like Hypertech, Edge, Unichip and Superchips manufacturer chips and programmers that will either plug into your ECU or programmers that will alter the factory settings. Chip manufacturers set the products for each specific vehicle to a default performance setting. Programmer manufacturers allow more versatility in that they allow custom modifications to compensate for other performance add-ons like cold air kits and exhaust systems. These systems are relatively easy to install by anyone that has a little mechanical knowledge.

In conclusion, you can significantly increase your HP and Speed by just making these basic changes to your truck. Some all-in-one kits can deliver up to a 40% increase in overall performance. Finally, contrary to rumor, none of these products will void the warranty of your truck. There is a federal law called the “Magnuson Moss Warranty Act” that prevents automobile manufacturers from voiding warranties from the addition of aftermarket products. These are just a few of the many performance products available from the aftermarket. I will be covering more advanced performance products, like superchargers, in a subsequent article.

Performance Chips will Increase Gas Mileage

Aftermarket Articles No Comments


Image : http://www.flickr.com

With today’s inflated gasoline prices we all find ourselves searching for ways to cut corners when it comes to how many of our dollars go to the gas pumps. I have actually encountered people that do not want to invest in aftermarket accessories now that gas prices are high. This honestly baffles me for a lack of a better term. There are many great aftermarket accessories that will help increase your MPG.

One performance accessory that you can justify purchasing due to the simple fact it will pay for itself with the money you will save in gas is a performance chip or power programmer. A chip or programmer will enhance your truck’s performance. All vehicles come with a special computer chip that controls your engine’s output, particularly in the area of fuel delivery. A performance chip will help your vehicle realize a much more efficient delivery of fuel to your engine at specified times in the course of driving. This will result in noticeable increases in horsepower as well as torque.

Top name brands in the aftermarket performance chip arena include Edge Products, Superchips Inc, Diablo Sport and Bully Dog. What I would recommend is finding an online store such as Thoroughbreddiesel.com that specializes in performance products. Ask them any question you may have. Each programmer option will serve different results based on your vehicle. Do your homework and you will be unable to deny the fact that a performance chip or programmer is a great investment for your vehicle.

Aftermarket Car Alarms

Aftermarket Articles No Comments


Image : http://www.flickr.com

There are many different types of car alarm systems. However, they can be broken down into two main categories – passive and active. A passive alarm is active after the car ignition is turned off and all doors are shut. An active alarm has to be activated by pushing a button to arm or disarm it.

It is very important to have an alarm system for your car, especially if it is new and one that thieves like to steal. It should be the first thing you purchase after you purchase the car. A good alarm system will cost at least $100, but cost should not be a factor, since a stolen car is worth nothing.

You can either have the alarm installed where you purchased it (another $100 or so), or you can install it yourself. Alarms usually come with detailed instructions on installation, and some even come with a how-to video.

There are many features available on the different car alarm that is available on the market and new features are developed everyday. Some of the common features are an air horn that can be used on the interior or exterior of a vehicle to call attention to a thief. The anti-code grabbing is a method that changes the alarm code every time it is armed or disarmed. This makes it impossible for a thief to figure out your code to disable it. The active re-arm is a system that automatically sets the alarm to its on position after it has been disabled. Carjack protection is a feature that causes the engine to turn off and a siren to ring out if a vehicle is taken by anyone illegally, and the brain is the main box of an alarm that controls all of the sensors and equipment associated with the alarm system. There are many other features associated with car alarm systems, and it is wise to thoroughly read the manual that comes with the unit that you purchase.

Turbo Scion TC Vs the Honda Civic – Most Tunable Car?

Aftermarket Articles No Comments


Image : http://www.flickr.com

When you compare any two cars, like the turbo Scion tC and the Honda Civic you have to start from big to small, working from unique parts of each car to more general items.  For instance, the first feature to look at that the Scion tC can come with is the turbo package.  If you get the turbo, it won’t be much power added, but you will definitely tell a difference from the Civics lighter power, although the Civic Si is V-tech.

So what’s better? Well, it all depends on your styles of tuning and the parts selection available for that car. Scion came out with a car that was basic and attractive, much like the Honda Civic always had been. However, when the turbo tC came out, they opened the doors to new auto tuners to come and purchase their way into another tuner car that has only just begun. This was attractive to many young kids who were always attracted to Honda Civics, and now are of age to purchase their own cars. The turbo Scion tC gave an easier route for people looking for Civics, simply because there are very limited sources on clean older Civics. Newer Civics have recently been sort of expensive and many daily working auto tuners want something cheaper, but still be able to customize.

If you are comparing the Honda Civic to the Scion tC, with respect to how many aftermarket parts and upgrades each car can have, I would have to say the Scion tC has out-ran the newer Civics. However, if you where to look at every generation of the Civic with respect to the numbers of Scion tC’s, it would be obvious the Honda Civic tuner car industry is way deeper, larger, and older, having more recognition than that of the Scion tC.

It also depends on to what extent you want to customize. If you want to make a turbo Honda Civic V-tech, you could build that thing to out run any turbo Scion tC. Both of the car styles have grown to be very different. The Civic has taken on some of the Accord features, like the longer body length. The Scion tC is staying the very basic, boxier type of style. They are sort of like the old style Honda Civics, with a new edge to it.

I must say, I have seen many older Civics, like the EG and EK styles out driving at night, on the well known cruising streets. This was probably because of the low economy and people are looking for cheaper, long lasting cars. In the auto shows, it’s a different story. There is a lot more money and more connections, resulting in better selection of customizations. With this, both the turbo Scion tC and the Honda Civic can be tuned to great extents. In the end, it all boils down to your resources and connections for parts. The more you can get, the bigger and better your car will be.

Custom Tail Lights Showcase Fiery Rear Style

Aftermarket Articles No Comments


Image : http://www.flickr.com

Let’s pretend for a second that you are standing by the curb when you witness this breezy, stylish ride pull up in front. It’s dusk, so the vehicle’s headlights and tail lights are on full-bore. You take a glance at the center of the trunk to get a closer look at the make and model name. You’re having trouble seeing it though, despite the fact it is not completely dark out yet. Before the driver turns the lights off and shuts down the engine, it quickly dawns on you: the tail lights are positively consuming.

Once a feature of European and upscale domestic models, LED and Euro tail lights (or taillights) have fast become a modifying staple for many different types of drivers. While these upgrades aren’t exactly “new”, they have, however, picked up considerable steam as of late. Some point to the speedy nature in which they can be installed, as more and more car owners have grown tired of long-term customizing projects. Others talk about the vividly contrasted luminance that upgraded tail lights often display, especially in comparison with original factory designs. But as with anything else custom-related, it all comes down to personal choice. And if one thing has risen out of all this, it is that custom tail lights are a relentlessly compelling aftermarket addition that benefits vehicles in more ways than one.

Why Custom Tail Lights?

The easy answer is “why not?” Of course, all drivers need to be armed with as much background information as possible, so it is best to look at custom tail lights with a bit more depth. Since the birth of the contemporary automobile, creative-thinking drivers have been finding ways to outdo the factory’s presentation of rear lighting. They’d visit salvage yards to mix and match pieces, weld together home-made bezels, or even use the casings from bicycle reflectors to construct their own fixtures. Though times have evolved, the spirit remains. You give a driver who loves their ride enough time, and they’ll find something to improve upon. Tail lights are almost inevitably at the top of that list.

Taillights are oft noticed identifiers. You are always in contact with them; you just might not recognize such unless a vehicle in front of you at a red light is sporting a brazen pair of LED taillights that are glimmering directly towards your retinas. But taillights are frequently intertwined with your ride, whether you realize it or not. It is for that very reason why so many choose a set that better represents their own interpretation of what automotive artistic value is all about.

LED Tail Lights – Tech Style, Tech Quality

Even in 2008, Light Emitting Diode technology is still considered advanced, and that’s not by mistake. LED power is currently the most potent option for tail lights. And there is not a fair comparison between LED tail lights and OEM halogen bulbs. LED tail lights disperse a far more effectual tone of colorful radiance that is vivid and unmistakable. Because of this truth, LED taillights are a highly-discernible safety upgrade in conjunction with being reputable fashion accessories. Sure, they elicit sweltering style. But it doesn’t hurt that they are easily noticed by a big rig behind you in the midst of some apocalyptic rain storm in the dead of night, either.

LED tail lights also have two other factors going for them. First off, they come in a virtual kaleidoscope of design patterns. Due to the versatile and efficient nature of LED lights, taillights can be patterned in different formats, styles, and colors. This is due to the vast array of shapes and sizes that LED lights are available to be housed and arranged in. And obviously, this presents a gamut of choices for manufacturers to work around, providing consistently fresh finishes for drivers to take a swing at. Secondly, LED technology is famous for going the distance. LED taillights last. They don’t burn out for no good reason or dim to a futile, bland beam. LED tail lights are so widely used partially for this very reason, and are a dominant presence on the market.

Now armed with fiber optics, LED taillights are poised to break through even more. Even though “regular” LED tail lights will always be en vogue due to their cosmic appeal, fiber optics push the envelope even further. Fiber optic LED tail lights are featured inside the fixture as strips, delivering an added exotic element that will undoubtedly become the proverbial “next big thing.” The grade of lighting is the same, if not improved in these sets, while the look is absolutely overwhelming when inserted into the right vehicle.

The Euro Invasion

Auto manufacturers abroad have traditionally managed to do just enough to offer a tangible aesthetic difference between their models and their competitors from around the globe. While overall body designs and shapes were never too far removed from anyone else’s, the same cannot be said for other details on the exterior. Many foreign models incorporated different molding patterns, door handle placement, and of course – tail lights. Tail lights on certain BMW, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Toyota and Lexus models were often “rounder” or shaped in a more animated fashion (referred to as “Altezza lights”). For many, it was a visually stimulating and exotic image that had to be duplicated, somehow and some way. When the Asian tuner underground rose up into the mainstream two decades ago, aftermarket “Euro” tail lights quickly found a home with custom-loving drivers around the world. And for the most part, that has remained unchanged.

Euro tail lights are available in multiple dozens of designs, and many times are LED-powered. What sets Euro tail lights apart from standard Western lamps? Many times, Euro taillights are “clustered” together inside the housing, and often feature circular lenses, but there are a host of other spirited options. If a set of Euro tail lights are LED, then the designs are near limitless. Boasting many housing selections, the spectrum is exponentially more expansive. The housing on both LED and Euro tail lights can be shaded several colors, providing a sportier and more eclectic backdrop for the lenses. This dynamic approach is what has set Euro taillights apart most drastically from usual American factory tail lights that come stocked in the majority of domestic models. It is also why along with LED tail lights, they are a near-requirement for those active in the aftermarket automotive culture.

What To Do When You Want In

The good news straight away is that LED taillights and Euro taillights are available for most models around, eliminating a good brunt of guesswork that can be associated with searching for aftermarket fashion. The first thing you want to do is make sure that your model is a candidate. Although it is a safe bet, do your due diligence. Just by utilizing an internet search engine, simply type in your model’s name and year with the words “LED tail lights” or “Euro taillights.” Undoubtedly, the page will fill up with a swoon of ads. But don’t go crazy yet, just pointing and clicking your way to exotic freedom. Instead, take notes of the various sites that you visit, ensuring that in fact the tail lights in question are available for your vehicle. Compare prices, shipping details, and everything else that goes with being a good consumer.

For the most part, installation of LED or Euro taillights is a snap. Depending on the type of vehicle and so forth, all it really entails is popping off the original (or unscrewing) and simply wiring in the new fixture. Of course, any pair you order should come complete with directions. But I am fairly confident that even the less automotive-inclined could figure it out even without instructions if so pressed. Most sets are basic “wire-&-go” operations that take minutes to complete. In other words, it is fast and it is easy.

Synopsis

As we continue to find out, there are not too many types of people on the planet who are more creative than a customizing driver who is motivated. From rocker panels to spoilers and interior dome lights, there are layers and layers of available options to always explore when looking for an excuse to upgrade a vehicle. And most of the time, these decisions are good ones. But whenever it is a part of the ride that needs no explanation of where or what it is, then chances are it needs a stylish imprint. Automakers care about providing only the minimal amount required to make sure they sell enough units. And no one is complaining about that. Ultimately, it is up to us to find ways to get our cars or trucks to say more about who we are. And LED or Euro tail lights get it. They throw pizzazz, color, technology, and increased driving safety to the back-end in a way that not other addition can. It is certainly more than worth exploring a little deeper when you feel it’s time for that molten exterior makeover!

Cooling Fan Problems

Aftermarket Articles No Comments


Image : http://www.flickr.com

Cooling fans are easy to troubleshoot. Some automobiles use two smaller fans or one larger fan. The twin electric fan set up will use one fan for cooling the engine. The other fan will be used for cooling the air conditioning and radiator but only works with the ac on. Never continue to run the vehicle up in the red temp zone or you can cause severe damage to the engine. First do you have a temperature gauge in the dash? Is it working correctly?

Lift the hood and verify visually that the fan is not working. Does the car cool down once you drive up the highway at 40+ mph? If not, you may have a thermostat sticking or low coolant. The thermostat can cause the engine to stay hot. This can also be the problem if the gauge stays low and the car never heats up. If the temp gauge is reading low yet the two radiator hoses are warm, the temp sensor may not be working. There may also be two temp sensors or senders, one that controls the gauge and one to switch the fan on. If the temperature is getting high and the fan still won’t come on you may have a fan problem.

First check the fuse to the cooling fan, if bad, replace it. When the car is getting hotter than normal and the fan should be on, unplug the fan wire. The cooling fan wire will have two wires positive and negative, and should be putting out 12 volts dc. If there is no voltage check the wires and the fan relay. The cooling fan relay is usually under the hood. If there is voltage running to the cooling fan, you probably have a bad fan. You could try jumping wires to the fan directly from the battery, but there is no need if there was voltage there.

Cooling fans can be purchased from places like autozone for aftermarket or factory replacements from a dealership. If you decide to use aftermarket measure the dimensions first. Then check the fan to verify that the cfm rating is high enough for your type of engine. Also make sure the wires for the electric fan are to the correct polarity. If not it wont damage the fan but will spin backward. The fan should pull air from the front of the vehicle and push it out through the radiator.
