EASY LOADER

Tired of being embarrassed every time you run up a ramp with a heavy motorcycle and slide back down again? Do you get a hernia just looking at conventional motorcycle racks? Sick of staying home because there's no one around to help you load your bike on your car, truck, camper or motor home? Well, Electro-Mech, Inc. may have just the answer to every 98-pound weakling's prayers; it's an ingenious new invention called the No-Lift Cycle Rack. To load a motorcycle, simply pull the lock bar to release the track. The track then pivots downward and the ramp extends automatically. Line the motorcycle up with the track and roll the bike on to it. The weight of the bike raises the ramp and automatically returns the rack back to its original position. Push the lock bar in to secure the rack in the loaded position. It will hold the motorcycle upright while it is being secured with the four tie straps. To unload, remove the straps, release lock bar and pull slightly backwards on the motorcycle. The rack automatically tilts downward, allowing the cycle to roll off. The all-steel, zinc-plated No-Lift Cycle Rack weighs 100 lb. and will accommodate motorcycles with a wheelbase of up to 57.9 in. In addition, it may be easily removed when not in use by simply pulling two pins and sliding it out of the support tubes. For information on this unique motorcycle rack and the dealer nearest you, call or write: Electro-Mech, Inc., Dept. CW-3, 2600 South Custer, Wichita, KS 67217, (316) 942-3271.

THIS IS I.T

Preston Petty, the Prince of Plastics, has done I.T. again, or, more accurately, for the first time. I.T is Preston's new Integral Taillight Rear Fender. Unlike ordinary taillights, the I.T. stands out by not standing out. The lens is directly mounted to the fender and closely follows the fender contour so it won't snag the rider, trees, rocks, etc. Like all Petty products, the I.T. is tough and efficient. The lens is manufactured from an ultra-high-impact thermoplastic and is said to shrug off impact that shatters ordinary lenses. The I.S.D.T.-proven valance fender is guaranteed unbreakable. The new Petty fender, complete with bulb, socket, lead wires, flat license-plate-mounting area, lens assembly with license plate light, side and back reflectors, retails for $18.95. For further information on I.T., contact Preston Petty Products Inc., Dept. CW-3, 403 North Main St., Newberg, OR 97132.
