ALLIS-CHALMERSk OUTRIDERS
For 1972, Allis-Chalmers has prepared three Outrider recreation bikes—a 4and a 5-bhp minibike and a 5-bhp trail bike.
The 1-in., 14-gauge tube frame and fork assembly is sturdily constructed, with heavy-duty gusseting at all major stress points. The trail bike also features heavy-duty front suspension, and the 5bhp mini is equipped with shock absorbers and swinging arm suspension.
Power is supplied by four-cycle Tucumseh engines. A top speed of 30-35 mph is estimated for the 5-bhp machines, which have automatic variable speed torque converters. The 4-bhp mini, with an estimated top speed of 20-25 mph, has a centrifugal clutch. All units are equipped with 4 in. diameter brakes.
Power is transmitted through a jack shaft to the rear sprocket and chain. Excessive preload to bearings is reduced by a spacer between the wheel bearings.
Road clearance on the 4-bhp mini is 5 in., on the 5-bhp, 6 in., and on the trail bike, 7 in. Wheelbase on the 4-bhp mini is 39 in.; the others have a 42-in. expanse between wheels.
Other features include a 12-volt sealed beam front light on the 5-bhp mini, and foam-filled seats on all units.

NEW "LANGHORNE" BOOTS
Three new boot styles have been included in Accessory Distributors Inc.’s line of “Langhorne” clothing for cyclists. They are:
The Woodsman, a 17-in.-high boot featuring full length lace-up closure for firm ankle/calf support and protection. Construction of the upper part is done in supple leather with heavy duty reinforced leather at all wear points. A special material is used for the one-piece slipper-type sole/heel to provide long wear and good sliding characteristics, yet also a firm grip on footpegs. Available sizes are 7-13, “E” width, and price is $28.95 a pair.
The Motocross and Enduro models are both 16-in.-high boots featuring a seven-buckle closure with padded shins and tops. A slipper sole/heel with upturned toe was designed for the Motocross to afford high speed sliding with a minimum of snagging. The Enduro model has the same upper construction, but with a cleated sole for maximum traction when footing. Both boot models are available in sizes 7-12, “D” width, at $49.95 each. All Langhorne clothing and equipment are available through motorcycle dealers across the country. For further information or inquiries, write ADI, Dept. CW-4, 175 Fair St., Palisades Park, NJ 07650.
GLOVE VINYL RIDER WEAR
Endura of Calif, is offering protective racing wear composed of a new material called “glove” vinyl. The construction features a 32-oz. expanded-back vinyl plastic which is less stiff and softer than normal vinyls and Naugahydes. It is more scuffand weather-resistant than regular vinyl, and due to greater elasticity, is less likely to rip out.
Available colors are maroon, orange, mustard, olive, lime, lemon, red, blue, charcoal brown, white, black and gold, and may be chosen for any of 31 garments and 250 miscellaneous items.
Retail prices of garments and complete outfits in glove vinyl run from $9.95 to $79.95, depending upon the style.
For complete information, enclose 25 cents for handling and write to Endura of Calif., Dept. CW-4, 312 S. Palm Ave., Alhambra, CA 91803.

DIAPHRAGM CARB MANIFOLDS
Three new adapter manifolds, permitting use of the SR and WDA diaphragm carburetors, are available through G.E.M. for owners of CZ, Husqvarna, and Maico bikes.
According to the manufacturer, the new accessories allow owners to gain an easy “bolt-on” improvement in performance, giving the advantages of the diaphragm-type carb, which include better throttle response, adjustable highand low-speed jets, and no flooding when the bike is laid down.
Linkage arms are also available to simplify cable hook-up for a carburetor changeover, and air filter adapters to ease installation of performance air filters.
For full information, send 25 cents to G.E.M. Products Inc., Dept. CW-4, 496 E. St. Charles Rd., Carol Stream, IL 60187.
MORE POWER FOR SUZUKI 90S
Suzuki TC90s and TS90s can gain a claimed substantial power increase with the installation of the Van Tech Special Side Plate. By increasing the clearance between the carburetor mouth and the side plate’s internal wall, which in turn increases the velocity of the air approaching the mouth of the carburetor, a substantial gas/air charge is achieved.
The black-finished Special Side Plate can be installed with a screwdriver in less than five minutes. Order directly from Suzuki Fun Center, Dept. CW-4, 515 N. Victory Blvd., Burbank, CA 91502. Price is $10.95.

SUPER CHAIN LUBE
A new chain lubricant is offered by the Covina, Calif, firm of Jeeco Lubricants. The new lubricant, called Jeeco Graphaplate, has been derived from the company’s highly successful industrial chain lubricant.
Graphaplate is a form of colloidal graphite suspended in a liquid “carrier.” Once sprayed onto a clean chain, the “carrier” evaporates, leaving a tough, low-friction coating of graphite between the chain’s rollers, pins and side plates.
Because the “carrier” evaporates, there is nothing on the chain that will attract dirt and grit, the main ingredients of chain and sprocket wear. Chain stretch and kinking are held to a minimum, and fewer chain adjustments are necessary. Graphaplate is also ideal for control cables and areas which can only be lubricated by spray.
Available through Webco Inc., a 6-oz. spray can (part number 2055) costs $2 and the large 16-oz. size (part number 2056) retails for $3. [O]
