Great industry event!

ACCEL on the Road with Joe D.

Comfort Stop - Positive Stopping System

The idea of comfort is what Comfort By Design is all about. Safety and peace of mind equal "comfort' in our book!

The PSS is the one most reasonably priced and easiest installed item you will ever add as an upgrade to your motorcycle. It is a fully automatic device and actuates as the brake is applied. It simply allows a minute amount of "flex" to your braking system in the event of a panic stop or abrupt pressure being applied to the brake pedal / lever.

Accel Motorcycle Press Release April 2009

Industry Associates: Below is a press release from ACCEL Motorcycle Products. This is the first in what will be a long line of product release information in the 2009 season. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me personally anytime 24/7. I appreciate your continued support and look forward to speaking with you soon.

8.0 S/S Plug Wires Provide 5 Times More Spark for Fuel Injected Harley & Buell The newest addition to the ACCEL Spark Plug wire lineup is the 8.0 S/S for Fuel Injected Harley Davidson applications. These new custom fit spark plug wire sets feature an extra thick 8mm silicone jacket and silicon insulation. The state of the art Ferro-Spiral Wound Magnetic Suppression core eliminates electrical “leakage” or RFI interference that interrupts electronic ignitions and doesn't effect the Delphi® fuel injection systems found on many Twin-Cam® engines. This Ferro-Spiral Wound Magnetic Suppression core can deliver up to 5 Times more peak energy than the common Carbon/Graphite Core found in OEM type spark plug wires. They perform exceptionally well at temperatures over 500°F. The ultra-strong Aramid core and fiberglass braiding provide resistance to vibration and “wire stretch” to make a spark plug wire set that is both durable and reliable. The low 500 Ohms/ft. resistance core material allows for maximum energy to the spark plugs, while still being safe to use with all electronic ignitions. Compare that to the 3000 to 7000 Ohms/ft core commonly used in many other top-of-the-line spark plug wire sets and you know why the ACCEL 8.0 S/S spark plug wires are what you need for getting the best performance out of your Fuel Injected Harley. Tech Note: ACCEL 8.0 S/S Spark Plug Wire sets are engineered for use on fuel injected applications, but they also work very well on late model carbureted applications too. Available in 4 colors: B=Blue, K=Black, R=Red, Y=Yellow. Applications: Buell 1999-2008 (All Models), # 171097-B, K, R, Y Sportster 2004-2006 (XL), # 171098-B, K, R, Y Softail 2000-2009 (All Models, Carb or FI), # 171100-B, K, R, Y Dyna 1999-2009 (FXD, Carb or FI), # 171097-B, K, R, Y Touring 1999-2008 (FLH/FLT Dresser Models Carb/FI), # 171098-B, K, R, Y U-Groove Plug for Fuel Injected Twin Cam Applications, Part No. 2418 Platinum Plug for Fuel Injected Twin Cam Applications, Part No. Y2418P See Application Chart (PDF) View Hi-Res Image Find a Local Dealer in Your Area ACCEL Motorcycle Products are a division of Prestolite Performance, and specialize in high quality ignition and electrical components for American made Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Our famous 5mm spark plug wires are tough enough to withstand over 550° of heat and versatile enough that they can be routed through the fins of the cylinder heads without burning.
