Suppliers of custom bike electronics, motogadget of Germany provided a remarkable device, the m-unit, which is the digital control center for the motorcycle. It replaces fuses, circuit breakers, relays and flashers - all in a single immensely tough unit the size of a cigarette pack, with diagnostic LEDs and shut-off protection.. Additionally it integrates an alarm, hazard warning lights, modulated brake lights and self-cancelling flashers.. The result is a simplified wiring system using less wiring (and smaller gauge wiring). Lighter, yet tougher.

Grecycle is a Tucson-based manufacturer of biodiesel. Grecycle is the first company in Arizona to obtain National Biodiesel Board (NBB) approval to sell biodiesel. Grecycle has been a member of the NBB since 2005. Grecycle uses only yellow grease from Arizona based restaurants, cafeterias and food companies to make its biodiesel.
