The popular catch cans that are secured on frames of factory bikes and our own Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki race bikes can now be a works part of your own. Handmade from titanium, the catch can connects to the over flow on the radiator and is designed to capture coolant when the bike gets hot. The coolant will flow back into the radiator once your bike has cooled down. Its purpose is to maintain optimal coolant levels during a race. $169.00

WOLF: BACK IN THE DAY

Notice the bars, very early Answer Products units, my Countdown clock-roll chart and a VDO with a little rubber fairing I installed. Why? I saw a picture of Dick Burleson running one on his bike!
