MANITOWOC, Wis. – The new Willie & Max Full Touring Upgrade kit is ready to help riders take their cruisers to a full-dress tourer in no time. The kit features a full fairing with or without radio cutouts, a 9-inch clear windshield, hard saddlebags, mounting hardware and all brackets for installation. A marine grade radio upgrade kit with a high-powered amp is available as an add-on feature.
If you're looking to get original styling with a classic, timeless look, paired with added space and functionality, the new Willie & Max Touring Upgrade Kit is for you.
The full fairing is mounted using sturdy steel mounting brackets, and mounts to existing mounting points with no additional drilling required. It's constructed using durable thermoformed industry-proven high-performance polymers, and includes a 9-inch clear windshield. A 3.5-inch smoked or 7-inch clear windshield are available as options, too. The fairing is available with or without radio cutouts, so you have the option of adding an amplified marine grade stereo and 5.25 inch speakers with MP3 capability, and it's easily adaptable to accept most aftermarket speaker bezels. The fairing is available in ready-to-paint primer, automotive grade gloss black or an OEM Color Match (pricing will vary on custom color).
Equally impressive are the hard saddlebags that complete the kit. These too are constructed using durable thermoformed high-performance polymers, and use rubber-isolated mounting, and a polished stainless steel bezel and rubber-sealed lid. The bags are lockable for added security and are available in ready-to-paint primer, automotive grade gloss black or an OEM color match (pricing varies).
“Like many of the recent Willie & Max product launches, the full-dress Touring upgrade kit was designed with the mid-level metric cruiser market in mind, with the intention of filling a void in the current marketplace. With the decrease in new bikes available each year, it is more difficult for riders to trade up when they're in the market, making this a perfect solution for the rider that is looking to upgrade their existing bike,” explained Mike Kaczkowski, VP of Sales and Marketing for Willie & Max.
First rounds of fitments for the kit include: Honda VTX1300 (all models), Honda Stateline, Kawasaki Vulcan 900, Yamaha V-Star 950 & 1300, and the Yamaha Star Road Star. Willie & Max is not wasting anytime, and are already working on the next round of fitments based on feedback from riders.
The new Touring Upgrade Kits are being introduced at price points that are attractive to riders looking for this type of product to take their bike up to next level of functionality and styling.
Precision-engineered and tested to standards developed by Willie & Max that meet or exceed industry standards, the full kit (full fairing, saddlebags, windshield, mounting hardware) starts at $1562.99 (retail) in a primer finish and $1852.99 for a gloss black finish. Pricing will vary based on your bike model and your preference in paint and finish. All products are sold in a “kit” and are also sold separately. To obtain the best pricing, you will need to order the products as a “kit”.
