RAVEK CAN-AM GLOVE BOX Steering away from the V-twin P & A, we caught up with Ravek, which recently released its glove box upgrade for the Can- Am Maverick X3.

Water and dust-tight, the glove box upgrade holds three times the capacity of the original, and bolts into the OEM cavity with no drill or teardown required, and can be installed in under 15 minutes.

“ The Maverick X3 glove box from the stock OEM is really small, and everything in it gets covered with dust and dirt,” says Ravek president and co-founder Ricky Goldstein.“ Your tablet, phone, jumper cables, medication … a sandwich. Anything you want access to in the cab will remain dry and clean in here.”

The Can-Am Maverick X3 glove box upgrade has an MSRP of $ 249.99.

DRAG SPECIALTIES ADJUSTABLE FLOORBOARD KIT

Under the Drag Specialties brand, designed and built by Gilles Tooling in Germany, the floorboard kit includes an adjustable shift lever, brake lever, and floorboards for new Harley-Davidson models.

The floorboards feature fully adjustable height, width, and length, and the shift lever is also fully adjustable, which helps eliminate slop that can be common on older machines that are prone to vibration, explained Ben Osowski, LeMans Midwest parts rep.

Recommended if you’ re looking to complement the floorboard kit look, are matching short- and long-armed mirrors. Retail for the complete kit runs between $ 1,700− $ 2,100, depending on color and adjustability.

Z1R TALON FULL-FACE HELMET The all-new Talon shell is a DOT- and ECE 22.06−rated full-face shell. It includes a fully removable, polyester moisture-wicking liner and cheek pads, a Micrometric Quick Closing chin strap, and speaker pockets for a variety of communication systems. But what makes this helmet stand out, according to Matt Poad, product specialist at Z1R, is its climate versatility, able to perform in any season or weather condition.

“ All the shields on these helmets come pinlock-ready” for anti-fog inserts, and it is a“ great venting helmet that really breathes well with a lot of temperature control,” he says.

The Z1R Talon full-face helmet is available in seven colorways and starts at $ 119.99.

WILD ASS SEATS Finally, we caught up with Wild Ass motorcycle seats, a company that just celebrated

its 10th anniversary. Although there weren’ t any new advancements with its precision air-cell constructed seats, the company is emphasizing to dealers that its cushion isn’ t just limited to motorcycles.

“ One thing that we’ ve done forever is make everywhere you sit more comfortable,” says Craig Johnson, co-founder and CEO.“ Yes, it’ s designed for a motorcycle, but because of the technology and shape, you can use them anywhere you sit.”

Whether it’ s the office chair, the racetrack, or UTVs, Johnson says he wants dealers to encourage their customers to think outside the box and imagine all the different ways Wild Ass seats can be utilized, other than the saddle.

Next up, Drag Specialties and Parts Unlimited will be taking the NVP Product Expo back up to Milwaukee, Sept. 12−13. We hope to see you there.
