Countdown Printables, 7152 Alabama Ave. - Canoga Park, CA Scott, the owner, is very helpful in getting you what you need. He's been doing this for a while... so if you're smart, you'll let him guide you. He is one of those people who understands that if he helps you succeed, he will succeed.

CruzTOOLS, Inc., P. O. Box 250 - Standard, CA 95373 I've been using CruzTools since 1999 when I needed a tear drop tool kit for my '99 Fatboy. When I bought my "05 Road King, one of the first items I purchased was the EconoKit-H1 from CruzTools. Funny thing is that I've never really needed the tools for myself. They have always been a kind extra insurance for those times I'm tens or hundreds of miles from anything. However, some of my friends are always using them. They make a great gift for a friend in need. Ironspirit highly recommends them. Great quality!

Dave Mackie Engineering, 2065-H Sperry Ave. - Ventura, CA. Dave piloted Harley drag bikes in the 70's & 80's and won many championships. He took his knowledge and developed what most of us call the "Mackie MegaSphere". Others as well as myself have had the magic of Dave Mackie done to our "Baggers" and they haul ass!

Doug's Custom Paint, 10149 Canoga Ave - Chatsworth, CA. Doug's reputation is well known and we have seen numerous projects exit his shop. He is very BIG on quality and takes it seriously. However, he also has a relaxed side and makes you feel at ease when going over your personal project. If he can't do it, he has no problem recommending someone who can.

Great design and development for the web, new media and print. They are easy to work with and really take pride in their work. Unlike many others, they won't just create what you ask for, they will actually make suggestions to better your project. Check them out!

Mustang Motorcycle Products, Inc., 278 Town Hill Rd. - Terryville, CT 06786 I love Mustang seats.

Ironspirit endorses Mustang seats.

My Garage, 1559 Palma Dr. - Ventura, CA. This shop has a loyal following. Many of their customers have had Brian, (the owner), install a "Dave Mackie MegaSphere". His shop is definitely an expert on it. They run the Dyno on Saturdays only.

Pimp Stixxx, PO BOX 85 - AVON LAKE, OH 44012 Ironspirit endorses and sells Pimp Stixxx on our website because we have used and believe in this product.

Pimp Stixxx helps you get to those hard to get areas without scratching your expensive chrome.

Saddlemen Motorcycle Seats, 17801 S. Susana Rd. - Rancho Dominguez, CA. I’ve replaced the stock Harley seats with a variety of aftermarket seats. In all fairness to the Harley factory, I have not used their replacement seats. I can, however, tell you that I have logged 16 hrs+ in my Saddlemen gel seat and could keep going with no problem. They are great seats!

Your Oil Shop, 26448 grand River Ave. - Redford, MI 48240 Looking for "Redline" or "Mobil One V-Twin" or some other hard to get oil or filter, these guys are the ones to contact. They turn your order around in short time and you get exactly what you ordered. If you've invested big bucks in a high performance engine, you better take care of it.

The name says it all. This publication is dedicated to "Baggers". Very cool bagger motorcycles. They also have helpful "How-To" articles on a variety of products.

American Iron is one of the most well known magazines out there featuring Harleys. Never a shortage of cool bikes and tech articles. An additional bonus awaits you if you're into vintage bikes, one of the last pages of the magazine is usually reserved for an older work of art.

Iron Butt Association - Oh Yeah!!!! If you really like to ride… I mean really ride long distances in a short time, then this organization just may be for you. I have done some long rides (1065 miles in 22 hrs) but have never pre-signed up to get the official certificate. In the spring of 2007 it will be done! Check out their site and maybe test yourself.

Horse Power Promotions set up and run several of the more popular motorcycle events. Santa Maria Motorcycle Madness, Hollister Motorcycle Rally and the Grand National Bike Show. Over the years they have developed a tried and true formula for creating fun events.

Set in early October, the Las Vegas Bikefest is one of the best motorcycle events in the western states. It certainly doesn't hurt that "Sin City" is the location for this fun weekend. The entertainment is packed with $100,000 Poker Run (yes.... $100,000), Poker Walk (seriously) and a number of contests; Artistry in Iron Master Builders Championship, Custom Bike Show, Bikini Contest, Miss Las Vegas Bikefest, Mr. Las Vegas Bikefest and the Worlds Strongest Biker. There is also live concerts and of course the always popular Vendor Village where you'll find all types of accessories to customize your ride. I remember a few guys returning to our booth after 20 minutes and informing me that they had already installed their Ironspirit backrest plate in the parking lot and showed their friends who were coming by to pick up an Ironspirit plate for their ride. That was great! I've had that happen at several shows.

This site has an eclectic collection of news articles for all of us who ride. The great thing I noticed, is that they include news that applies to all road riders.

Keith Ball, otherwise known as "Bandit", is something of a living legend in the world of motorcycling and runs this awesome site. Bikernet.com is not only resourceful, it's entertaining. Filled with so much news, info and entertainment; you could sit quietly with a glass of Jack Daniels while you scroll down one Bikernet page after another. Nope... he's not paying me to write this. It's just that I remember reading Easyriders over the last 3 decades and have seen his moniker "Bandit" in the various departments of that publication and many others. The "Cantina" section is where you will get the "added bonus" of this site. Of course nothing is free. But the cost of that section is very minimal and you'll get value for your buck.

Harley Davidson Forums is a very cool and useful unofficial Harley Davidson discussion forum! It’s truly a one stop resource for all Harley Davidson related discussions. Harley Davidson forum topics & photos include motorcycle maintenance, motorcycles troubleshooting and repairs, and Harley Davidson performance upgrades. A ton of good people are members and contribute their time and knowledge to help others and I absolutely love that! There are also individual forum categories for ease of use including the following Harley Davidson model specific discussions: Softail, VRSC, Sportster, Dyna, Touring, and more. Check it out. I’m pretty sure you’ll pick up some info you’ve been looking for.

I've personally shopped for items at J&P Cycles to personalize my '99 Fatboy and '05 Road King. J&P Cycles provide the kind of customer service most of us have forgotten about. It's the same kind of service you've heard about almost as an urban legend, but rarely experience. Ironspirit tries to emulate J&P Cycle’s superior service. If we do half as well as they do, we will end up providing our customers with great service. J&P Cycles have a great variety of quality products to choose from. Do yourself a favor and check them out.

This is a very cool site that lists California rides. They provide a loose review for each ride along with photos to give you an idea of what you can expect to see while leaning into the twisties. The photos alone will motivate you to choose a remote California road.
