Saddle Tramp™ by Metra Electronics® Introduces New Motorcycle Audio and Lighting Accessories for Harley-Davidson®
CES 2019 New Product Rollout
Holly Hill, FL – December 27, 2018 – Metra Electronics® announces 37 new motorcycle audio and lighting accessories from Saddle Tramp™ that will be on display at CES 2019. The accessories are designed specifically for a wide range of popular Harley-Davidson® models, offering OEM-quality upgrades for brighter lights and adapters to retrofit and mount new audio systems. Headlight trim rings also fit additional motorcycle models by Indian and Yamaha. Metra’s Saddle Tramp brand was first introduced in 2016 under the Metra PowerSports division and has now grown to include its own catalog, consisting exclusively of motorcycle accessories.
Harley-Davidson LED Signal Lights and Accessories
Saddle Tramp has designed three products with extra bright LEDs to replace factory turn signals and brake light indicators for a wide range of Harley-Davidson models. The BC-1157AW and BC-1157RD fit all Harley-Davidson models with 2” bullet style front turn signals and the BC-1156RD fits models with 2” brake/turn signals. These lights are sold as a pair and use Generation II brighter and flat-style LEDs. For 2013 and earlier models, Saddle Tramp load equalizers (BC-HDLE1 and BC-HDLE2) may be required to stop hyper flashing when replacing LED turn lights. Models with 3 ¼” housing require the BC-1157RING adapter ring.
Harley-Davidson V-Rod Headlights
Saddle Tramp’s 7” oblong oval shaped replacement headlight retrofits Harley-Davidson V-Rod style headlights to provide eight bright CREE LEDs and a projector lens. They are available in two styles, constructed with high-quality materials and rated IP67 for long-lasting performance. The headlights are designed specifically for Harley-Davidson 2002-2017 V-Rod VRSCAW, Muscle and VRSCDX models only. Available in chrome (BC-HDHLR2) or black (BC-HDHLR1) reflector styles.
Motorcycle Headlight Housing and Trim Rings
Saddle Tramp has engineered 5.75” headlight housing buckets and 4.5” fog and turning signal light housing mount buckets to fit Harley-Davidson models, available in chrome or black. Visor style headlight trim rings with a classic 50s profile are also being introduced in chrome or black for 5.75” and 7” headlight sizes, fitting a wide range of Harley-Davidson models. The 7” trim ring extends forward giving the headlight a classic “frenched” style from the 1950s, which recesses the headlamp for an added depth appearance.
