The Kraus EZ‑Shift of M8 and Twin Cam motors is a popular aftermarket shift assist for Harley-Davidson motorcycles designed to improve the feel and ease of gear changes. It works by altering the shift linkage's leverage ratio so that finding neutral — especially from a stop — becomes much easier and more positive, which can reduce clutch wear by allowing riders to drop into neutral quickly and release the clutch instead of dragging it at lights. Made in the USA from high-quality billet aluminum, the device bolts on in just a few minutes and is compatible with both stock and many aftermarket shift levers. Riders report smoother, more confident shifts across all gears, with up to about 20% less effort required compared to stock linkage feel.

The Stealthport Motorcycle Battery Charging & Accessory Port and related Stealthport adapters are aftermarket solutions for Harley-Davidson riders who want a clean, factory-style connection point for charging their bike's battery or powering accessories without dealing with the standard dangling SAE pigtail. Instead of fumbling with the loose cable under the bike, a Stealthport install mounts a low-profile port in a convenient location on the frame or bodywork, using existing threaded holes on many Softail, Touring, and other Harley models. Once installed, the port connects to your bike's OEM battery tender lead, giving you a weather-protected, easily accessible charging point that can also be used for heated gear or other 12 V accessories — all while keeping the look tidy and integrated. Installation is typically straightforward and reversible, and multiple mounting options let you choose how hidden or accessible you want the port to be.
