This is a press release from Vance & Hines…
Daytona Beach, FL (March 4, 2021) – Daytona Bike Week 2021 starts today and Vance & Hines is ready to greet riders who are after a breath of fresh, Florida air.
Vance & Hines will have two retail and installation locations at Bike Week, at Daytona Speedway and Daytona Harley-Davidson in Ormond Beach. Both locations are based out of the company’s newly updated big-rigs and feature the top V&H items from their Air, Fuel and Exhaust product selections.
Customers at events typically prefer products that offer a change in both their bike’s style and performance. Top sellers in Daytona are likely to be the Vance & Hines Torquer 450, a slip-on muffler designed for Harley-Davidson Milwaukee 8-equipped bikes and VO2 air intake products such as the Rogue, X or Cage Fighter models. The combination allows for greater air flow and performance and makes a noticeable styling change to a rider’s motorcycle.
Product experts will help customers determine what works best for their riding needs and can either install the products on-site or provide customers with detailed information about what their local dealer can order and install back at home.
