Kodlin USA in Texas
Late last year Kodlin USA completed a move, from near San Jose in California to Texas- New Braunfels near Austin. Culturally that is quite a change and with the last of the packing crates emptied co-owners Holger Mohr and Len Kodlin decided it was time to host their Grand Opening. The event marked an important milestone following the company and was timed perfectly alongside the Austin MotoGP weekend. The gathering drew a packed house, with a steady flow of industry professionals, dealers and Texas riders filling the new headquarters well into the evening. " The turnout was impressive," said Holger. With key partners like Drag Specialties, SBS Brakes, and Harley- Davidson of Gruene represented among a broader group of vendors and industry supporters. Industry guests including Paul Langley and Big Mike of BMC were also in
attendance, underscoring the event ' s significance within the aftermarket community. A standout presence was the Drag Specialties Showtruck, accompanied by the 2026 Drag Specialties Catalog Cover Bike built by Kodlin USA. A major highlight of the evening was the V-Twin Visionary Bike Show, presented by Kodlin USA, which brought together an eclectic mix of high-end builds and creative craftsmanship. Combined with great food, drinks, and a buzzing crowd, the event captured the spirit of both the local Texas scene and the broader V- twin community- marking a successful new chapter for Kodlin USA in its Texas home. www. kodlinusa. com
