Boss Hoss and V-8 Performance develop Advantage Trike for disabled riders
Wheelchair accessible trike gives physically challenged the freedom to ride

Advantage TrikeBoss Hoss Cycles, manufacturer of America’s ultimate V8 powered cycles, has teamed up with V-8 Performance, Inc., creators of the Hossfly, to produce the Boss Hoss Advantage Trike, the first wheelchair accessible trike that is tailored specifically to the disabled rider. The new Advantage Trikes are scheduled for release in September 2008.

As the industry’s first production model for the disabled rider, the trike has been designed with a wheelchair lift built into the chassis, which is hidden by the fiberglass truck-style trike body. All the controls of the trike are hand operable to accommodate individuals that do not have, or have use of, their legs. The Advantage Trike was designed with a simple after-market conversion to the Boss Hoss Truck trike.

“We want our riders to know that it's not their disabilities, but their abilities that count,” says Rad Hunsley, president and COO of Boss Hoss. “We have riders with a variety of handicaps that love our trikes. We are now offering those that do not have use of their legs the freedom to ride!”

Boss Hoss trikes offer safety and stability incomparable to your average two-wheeled bike. “Two-wheelers are fun, but the trike offers a certain comfort for disabled riders. With a trike you can ride without hesitation!” says Steve Miller, handicapped rider and an avid Boss Hoss enthusiast. Though Miller is able to ride without the conversion from V-8 Performance, the new prototype wheelchair accessible trike will allow other handicapped motorcycle enthusiasts to get back on the road and experience the pure ecstasy that comes with riding a Boss Hoss.

Every Boss Hoss is engineered for total performance, not just speed, and has three to four times the power of any production bike in the world. The upgraded line of 2008 Boss Hoss bikes and trikes are fed by electronic fuel injection controlled by a Delphi electronic control module (ECM), and fitted with a redesigned catalytic exhaust system to meet all current EPA and CARB emissions standards. For added comfort, the 2008 model trikes will be offered with an optional Air Ride suspension system produced by Legend Air Suspension, exclusively for Boss Hoss. The once optional Brembo rear disc brake system is now standard equipment on all trikes. The new models became available September 1, 2007.

Since 1990, Boss Hoss has grown to be the only production made V-8 powered motorcycle in the world with over 4,000 motorcycles sold.

Come experience the rip-roaring ride of a lifetime that only Boss Hoss Cycles provide. See for yourself why Boss Hoss owners call it the ultimate cycling experience.

SuperTrapp introduces Low Roller Exhaust

Supertrapp

 

SuperTrapp Industries is a leading manufacturer of comprehensive performance exhaust systems for a variety of motor vehicle applications, including motorcycles, ATV and automotive. SuperTrapp introduces the curvaceous, chrome, Low Roller now available for Harley-Davidson FXST '90 -'08 Softail models.

This new, sleek, rolling wave style 2:1 pipe is a beautifully sculpted work of art. The long and low, flowing, swept look of this exhaust accentuates the lines of the bike. The three-piece heat shield set protects the rider and keeps the chrome looking showroom new. The 1 ¾" headpipes flow into the 2 ½" collector and into the 3.5" curved muffler body, which intensifies the curves of your bike.

The Low Roller comes standard with a sleek, chromed billet end cap. This is the first ever SuperTrapp 2:1 to offer a variety of optional end caps. Riders can customize their exhausts by choosing from a variety of 12 end caps – including four designed by Paul Yaffe – allowing for the ultimate in personalization.

The Low Roller weighs 25 percent less than stock and is quickly becoming known as a classy pipe that provides a responsible sound. While it increases exhaust flow, it also provides a deep, authoritative growl that won't offend your riding buddies. Durable, pillow pack packing offers superior silencing and durability.
