DARKHORSE CRANKWORKS: The latest news from the Newton, Wisconsin based performance specialist is of a Shortblock Remanufacturing Program for '07 and later Harley A-model engines that Darkhorse is making available following Harley's decision to close its own manufacturing program effective June last year. John Dahmer, the General Manager at Darkhorse, told AMD that "we know most of our dealers currently provide cylinder boring or valve/head word for their customers, and we want to help make their dealerships more profitable, not compete against them. So we are offering them a very economical lower-end re-man service that takes the lower end back to better than new specs backed up by a two year unlimited mileage warranty and utilizing our proprietary Pro-Plug system to ensure that the crankshaft stays truer for longer." www.darkhorsecrankworks.com

HAMMERHEAD ENGINEERING/LOVE JUGS: The Harley-Davidson cooling system from Hammerhead Engineering is now available in gloss or matt black as well as chrome.
