Eight inches of snow and single-digit degree weather didn’ t stop hundreds of dealers and exhibitors from filing into the Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville for the 2026 Parts Unlimited and Drag Specialties Spring NVP Product Expo January 24−25.

Although attendance was down slightly compared to previous years due to the snowstorm, LeMans’ dealer-exclusive tradeshow in Derby City was a huge hit. And just in time for the start of the selling season.

Plenty of powersports dealers with swagbags in hand walked the aisles on Saturday afternoon and, despite inclement weather, made their way to the evening Meet & Greet at The Sports & Social Club in the heart of

downtown Louisville’ s 4th Street Live Entertainment District, where attendees enjoyed food, drinks, and entertainment.

But the heartbeat of the show was the thousands of aftermarket products on display, and Powersports Business talked to several brands that launched new products for 2026. Here’ s what caught our eye.

RM STATOR V-TWIN LINE Making big moves in 2025 is the electrical parts manufacturing company RM Stator. PSB briefly caught up with RM Strator last September in Milwaukee, when it first launched its new V-twin line of OEM replacement charging solutions. This time around, we got the chance to chat with the company’ s chief engineer Evan Grist, who was showcasing the new line of Harley-Davidson replacement parts, which included flywheels, stators, and voltage regulators.

Its new V-twin stators, which feature the highest-grade lamination materials and copper winding, are resistant to nearly 400 degrees. Grist said the company leaned on its off-road experience to help it move into the V-twin segment.

“ We’ ve learned a lot from building highpowered systems for side-by-sides, and we integrated a lot of these improvements into our stators for high reliability,” Grist adds.

For its V-twin flywheels, RM Stator is separating itself from OEMs by building flywheels with the magnets sealed on the inside.

“ Most of the Harley OEMs have exposed magnets that come loose and cause all sorts of problems,” Grist explains.“ In our RM Stator flywheel, we use a marine-grade epoxy to attach the magnet to the shell, so a magnet can’ t come loose and do any damage.”

Rounding out the V-twin line is the voltage regulator. Made with Mosfet technology, RM

Strator’ s regulators are bolt-in, with OEMstyle installation and connectors that runs 50 % cooler than the Harley version.

CUSTOM DYNAMICS FOG LIGHT AND TAILLIGHT

Also shining bright on the Louisville stage was Custom Dynamics, as it continues to expand its Shark Demon line with its latest LED motorcycle fog lights for 2023 and up Harley-Davidson Road Glide and Street Glide models.

With 4,140 raw lumens per pair, the lights are controlled via the integrated soft switch that controls the infotainment system. And installation is made easy thanks to the wire harness that’ s included.

“ You’ re going to have factory integration. And any light you’ re getting with factory integration, everyone is going to go nuts for,” notes Greg Gestes, sales rep for Custom Dynamics.

Gestes also gave us a sneak peek of Custom Dynamics soon-to-be-released taillights for the same H-D models. Part of the Pro Beam line, the taillights feature three selectable turn signal patterns, including a sequence-on, sequence-off, and a standard on-and-off flash pattern.

Gestes says the taillights will be dropping soon, while the LED fog lights have an MSRP of $ 399.95.
