Product Spotlight – Time and Convenience Eliminate Frustration

Category : Great Products

Everyday we are reviewing new parts and accessories, deciding which ones we will be offering to you. At K and G Cycles (www.kandgcycles.com) we strive to bring you the most useful products while demanding they be of the highest quality available. So sit back and check out these new products headed your way.

h bar clockPart#39-0788 Motorcycle Handlebar Clock – For those of you that do not ride one of the bikes that has a fairing and all the accessories, you will no longer wonder what time it is. This sleek, chrome, handlebar mount clock has a good looking silver and black face that matches a lot of the instrument clusters used on motorcycles today. Clamp mount lets you positions this clock just about anywhere on your bars. Glow in the dark clock hands that recharge in even the minimal amount of sunlight keep you posted of the time so you won’t be late. Good looking, functional, and affordable are 3 words we look for when buying accessories for our rides, this clock delivers all of the above.

Part#16-0096 Troil drain spigotansmission Case Drain Spigot – I love to perform scheduled maintenance on my bike myself, it gives me a sense of pride, saves me a couple of bucks, and lets me really get to know my ride. The only draw back is it can get awfully messy, especially when you service the tranny and you’ve thought you had it all cleaned up only to realize there is still old fluid dripping from the undercarriage, There is a new innovative tool out that takes care of that headache. The Transmission Case Drain Spigot channels the transmission fluid from the bottom of your transmission case into the drain pan instead of onto your frame. With it’s helical design that locks the tool into the frame cross member and around the drain plug it allows you to remove the drain plug through the center of the tool. This keeps clean up to a minimum and and makes services a breeze.

Part#32-1352 Motortraffic sensor kitcycle Traffic Signal Sensor – Getting stuck at a traffic light through a few cycles is never fun, so what do you do? well instead of waiting on Lady Luck or another vehicle to come along and save you, why not invest in a Traffic Signal Sensor. Most intersections that are governed by stop lights have magnetic sensors in the ground so when a vehicle is “sesned” it will change the light settings, allowing that vehicle to proceed. Motorcycles often do not have the capability to trigger the sensors, so a signal sensor was invented that emits a wide and powerful magnetic field that easily disturbs the traffic light sensors which activates the signal change. Attaching easily to any motorcycle, this sensor will help you encounter shorter delays from traffic signals and enjoying the ride more.

So if you are looking for that special tool to assist you with routine maintenance, looking to add a new functional accessory, or help you keep a cool head while riding, look no further than K and G Cycles (www.kandgcycles.com) to give you access to the latest tools and accessories to simplify life and help you enjoy more time in the saddle.

Choosing the Right Eye Protection: Glasses and Goggles

Category : Great Products

Eye protection is vital for a number of reasons. Speed, wind, bugs, and eyeballs don’t combine well. Most helmets come with an eye or face shield, but many riders prefer optional eye protection. When the sun goes down you don’t necessarily want to be stuck with a tinted mask, right? Unless of course you want a night drive enhancing lens- which is pretty different from your typical sunglass lens. There’s a lot to choose from and a lot to think about. By enhancing your vision with the right eye protection, you’re also enhancing your safety level. There are many specialty eye protection options available now, like bifocal riding sunglasses. Take a look at some of the eye protection options we listed below and check http://www.kandgcycles.com/Motorcycle-Eyewear/ for even more options. Feel free to contact us with questions or comments.

Guardian Bells- Legends Behind the Tradition

Category : Fun Stuff, Great Products

You’ve probably heard many different versions of the guardian bell story. There are countless legends that feed into the tradition behind guardian bells. One legend says that gremlins, responsible for making bikers crash, ambushed a fallen biker. The man had toys in his saddlebags that he was planning on giving to his kids, but they spilled out during the fall. The only toy that fell near the man was a bell that he began to ring. Other bikers in a nearby town head the bell and came to his aid. They warded the gremlins off of the man. The biker was so grateful  for their help that he tore off tassels from his saddlebags and attached the remaining bells to the leather. He gave the bells to the men who helped him and told them to attach it to their bikes. If they needed help from the gremlins, they should ring the guardian bell as well. Another legend says that evil road spirits constantly work to put obstacles in front of bikers, even causing mechanical difficulties. The guardian bell will protect you because the spirits will get trapped inside. Then, they drive themselves mad with the constant ringing and eventually fall to the ground, causing potholes. Some say that guardian bells must be given as a gift and others say that they are effective if purchased for yourself or given as a gift. Some say that it is important that an experienced rider gives you the bell because their skill level is passed through the guardian bell as well. Whatever the case may be, guardian bells make a great gift to experienced and beginner riders alike. Check out some of our favorite guardian bells below.

Motorcycle Lock and Load!

Category : Great Products

There is no doubt that motorcycles are an easy target for thieves, especially those who have a plan of attack or a group of equally sticky handed friends available to help. It can be a devastating reality to experience the loss of an item that you have worked so hard to obtain in the first place and more often than not, if you find the bike again it will have already been picked apart or damaged. Here is the good news, there are many ways to protect your bike. Simple steps can be taken to ensure that you don’t walk outside to find an empty parking spot where your buddy used to be.

Buy a motorcycle lock or alarm system. Easy, right? Buying a lock for your bike is a simple and inexpensive way to ward off thieves looking for an easy target. It will deter those acting alone or trying to get away quickly. They probably realize that if they are sitting in a parking lot cutting cables or sawing off a lock, someone will notice them and notify authorities. Which brings us to the next point… If you see someone doing these things, call the police! If you see a group of people carrying a bike or hurriedly throwing it into a trailer or truck, it is probably not a legitimate situation and it wouldn’t hurt to call the authorities to report a suspicious scene.

There are many motorcycle lock designs available. Consider what will work best for you. Simple motorcycle lock designs will just prevent the wheels from moving and sometimes this is enough to stop theft from happening. Other designs will anchor the bike to a post on the ground, but this requires that there is a stationary mount wherever and whenever you choose to park. Alarms can also be installed that throw out a shrill alert when someone tries to move the bike. There are tip sensors on these little gadgets that ward off those attempting to take off with your wheels. There are also combination motorcycle lock/alarm systems available that will set themselves off when motion or shock is detected. So now when someone tries to tamper with your bike, it’ll scream back. Problem solved.

Here are some popular designs:
