Drag Specialties® has what you’re looking for in a high-quality primary chain for your Harley-Davidson. This chain has improved fatigued resistance, which means it’ll last longer and perform better.
Installed back in 1994, the 22amp Cycle Electric charging system on my 1986 FXR had finally given up the ghost by the end of the 2010 riding season. The packing in the regulator had started to melt and drip from the housing (but the unit continued to work!). I couldn’t complain, I’d gotten my moneys worth. For a part that lives in such a severe environment the 18 years of service is a testament to the quality and durability of Cycle Electric products.

I tried just using a small DSLR body (D90) with a small fast 50mm, but even that was just to big. I thought why bother… I may as well just bring the big gun. – stephen berner Continue Reading →

Manufacturer’s are learning that when a product is submitted to 45dgree for use & review – it gets used & reviewed. We are not going to simply tell our viewers that the part/product was installed with “no problem ” and worked “great” (and what does that really mean?) unless it did.
Nope, 45dgree ain’t playing that lame game…… Manufacturer’s deserve more thoughtfulness applied to these editorial communications and we feel our viewers absolutely deserve more truthfulness and information than what is served up by those on a never ending swag hunt.
Yea, we are changing it up, and it’s about time, ya think?
