“Riding stability” is the core theme on this Clubstyle-upgrades: Rick’s Clubstyle-Riser and the outstanding machined Rick’s triple-tree offers optimized function, control plus simple and quick installation. Made from high-strength 7075 aluminum, the risers fulfill several functions at once: The stable and super-solid construction prevents these risers from any twisting, both when mounted on stock triple clamps and in combination with the Rick’s “Performance 2” bridge. To achieve this, the lower part of the handlebar clamp is designed as a “torque bar” and is clean connected to the riser halves and bolted internally. This design enables unrivaled precise and direct steering with maximum dimensional stability and stiffness of handlebar operation. With a riser height of 8.5 inches, there is no twisting and steering the 770 mm Rick’s Clubstyle Moto Bar Performance 1 handlebar is super-precise, following every impulse by the rider.
A generously dimensioned cable duct is hidden in both risers, which can accommodate the cable harness extension offered by Harley-Davidson for handlebar conversions, as well as any additional cables to be installed for the exhaust system, air suspension or other accessories to be controlled. The cables to be concealed are fixed in the channels with clamps. The version installed here is for the stock digital speedo/instrument at the upper end of the risers. Rick’s “Good Guys” grips and adjustable hand levers are perfect additions for perfected riding ergonomics.

State-of-the-Art and technical perfect, the Rick’s “Wave” brake discs are fitting many customizing styles – two 330 mm discs at the front and the 292 mm version at the rear as a replacement for the standard rotors. The development was inspired by many years of experience with Rick’s Design brake discs and aftermarket/accessory brake discs from other brands – and is a combination of the best materials and design. The declared target was to optimize braking performance while at the same time increasing service life. Floating brake discs are less susceptible to distortion under maximum load and provide better braking performance because the brake discs virtually center themselves between the brake shoes during the braking process. This is an important factor when it comes to the load on the brakes, especially on the heavy “Big Twins” from Harley-Davidson, if you ride in a more “forced Clubstyle” manner.

Rick’s Wave disks are less aggressively designed than comparable competing products – and therefore offer more friction surface. Drilled holes instead of slotted holes underline this – and reduce the noise level. The discs are mounted on 10-spoke “Steve” design inner spiders and 10 floaters each, which distributes braking forces and heat dissipation to more points than in the stock arrangements. The inner star is specially coated, the float rivets are flattened on the outside and highly tensioned. Rick’s Wave offer no wobbling or rattling, but still allow the brake discs the necessary expansion when heated by heavy braking loads. The design of the disc with a stainless steel inner core ensures long-lasting and consistently reliable operation. Matching brake caliper adapters for radial piston brake calipers such as Brembo are in the works. Rick’s Wave brake discs are available in 292, 300 and 330 mm diameters. The stock Brembo calipers are retained and re-positioned on specially developed Rick’s adapters.

“Clubstyle Crashbars” have become a somewhat “standard design feature” on many Clubstyle customs: in case of a “downfall” the bike is better protected and from slippery ground to getting “off balance” there are many reasons that a motorcycle can be dropped! This ride features Harley-Davidson’s own P&A “Flat Out Bar”, which is to be installed with a matching adapter-kit high up at the frame downtubes.
