Faärken, Inc. Biker Stirrups

The conchos and clips are first copper plate and then nickel plated to prevent rust and keep their shine and luster. The straps are made of a durable, elastic material and includes a metal Triglide adjuster to fit every size.

Faärken, Inc. Biker Stirrups work best and look best when wearing boots or shoes with heels.

If you tend to wear your pants 6 inches below your inseam, you’ll probably need to adjust your stirrups.

If you tend to wear high water pants, then you probably don’t have the fashion sense to buy our product anyway.

If however, you wear your pants according to your inseam, you will find that my Faärken, Inc. Biker Stirrups not only look great while riding, but you’ll want to wear them when you’re just hangin’ out.

PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS.

DO NOT PLACE THE CLIPS ON THE SEAM!!!

DO NOT FORCE THE CLIP CLOSED IF THERE IS TOO MUCH RESISTANCE!!!

Forcing the clip closed while on the seam or placing too much fabric too deep inside the clip jaw will cause the tension tab of the main clip to curl or bend and it will no longer stay closed.

PLACE THE CLIP IN FRONT OR BEHIND THE SEAM.

While standing, adjust the length of the strap so the pants are tight against the top of the boot. Move the triglide adjuster towards the end of the strap so that the unused portion of the elastic strap is not left loose. Please be sure that your stirrups are securely fastened to your pants before fiding. Faarken, Inc. assumes no responsibility for any damages in the unlikely event that they should come loose while riding.

If the tension tab is bent, please follow these instructions.

Tension tab should be at right angle to the main clip. If bent or curled, use pliers to straighten.

If you need to replace the main clip, use needle nose pliers to carefully bend out one hinge. HOLD ON TO THE CLIP SO THAT IT DOES NOT COME APART. Replace with a new clip and bend hinge back into place.

Please make sure your stirrups are securely fastened to the bottom edge of your pants. Do not place the clips on the thickest part of the cuff and do not force the clip shut if too much resistance is felt. Forcing the clips shut will result in the bending of the "half-moon tension tab" and the loss of tension. Move the clip to an area of the cuff where the clip closes easily and with a snap.



The Faarken Kickstand MagPad

I got tired of hunting around for a kickstand pad so I developed the Faärken, Inc. MagPad patent pending. It's made for me by a company who specializes in equestrian products like harnesses and saddles. They use two heavy gauge oval pieces (5 1/2" by 4 1/4") of stiff, harness leather and sew in 4 powerful magnets. The leather is impervious to the elements and should last many seasons.

I stick my MagPad patent pendings underneath the gas tank of my '99 Indian Chief and it's always there when I need it. You can also stick it on triple trees or coil covers; basically anywhere you have a flat metal surface. I've had my Chief up to 105mph and this thing never moved. However, care should be taken to place the MagPad patent pending in a location that provides adequate surface for the magnets to stick properly.

The leather should not scratch painted surfaces but I always make sure I wipe off any dirt after I've used it. I keep the magnet side up and place the kickstand right in the middle of the leather pad. This might take some getting used to as the magnets may stick to the kickstand. This is a useful thing when you're ready to hit the road. By moving the kickstand towards the magnets, I'm able to lift the kickstand up so I can easily grab the MagPad patent pending, wipe it of and stick it under my gas tank.

I've also included a small hole at the top in case anyone wanted to run a string from the MagPad patent pending to the handlebar as a reminder.

I don't know if anyone else has a use for this product but I haven't been able to find a manufacturer who makes anything like this. So, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
