JIMS: This summer saw owner and founder Jim Thiessen elected into the
Sturgis Hall of Fame in recognition of his 50 years as a machinist and go-
fast guy who has “generated trust with the riders, record breakers, racers
and certified Harley mechanics around the world who use JIMS products
on a daily basis.” Today JIMS is one of the industry’s leading producers of
performance parts, accessories, tools, transmissions and high-
performance engines – “all aimed at enhancing the Harley rider’s
experience”; www.jimsusa.com
Tolemar Group: After more than 15 years at Vance & Hines, Huntington
Beach, California based Tolemar Group has hired John Potts as their new
Vice President of Sales and Marketing. He will oversee the development
of all three of the group’s motorcycle parts and accessory brands – LA
Choppers V-twin accessories, Trinity Racing ATV exhausts and clutch kits,
and Baron metric cruiser accessories; www.lachoppers.com
Ride Wright Wheels: At the heart of the Anaheim, California based
manufacturer’s award-winning spoke wheel design (check out the
recently introduced Fat 30-Round-2s) is a modular system that allows
dealers to minimalize their stocking overhead while maximizing the
range of options that can quickly provide for their customers. Ride
Wright’s broad array of “Modular Hub Ends” (MHE) “allow boundless
options for bike make/models, rotor/brake configurations, spoke count,
gauge and colors. Modular end caps help with wheel resale too - just
swap out the caps for the next bike”; www.ridewrightwheels.com
Feuling Parts: The Oceanside, California performance specialist has
added dyno proven and track tested M-8 grinds to its popular ‘Reaper’
brand cams program. Said to produce more power and torque in the
riding rpm range, which improves the throttle response, acceleration and
fuel mileage, Reaper’s smooth camshaft lobe ramps are said to be easier
on valvetrain components and eliminate excessive valvetrain noise and
wear. Two options are available – both are direct bolt-in replacements for
the stock M-8 cams and can be used with stock valve springs, pushrods,
lifters and exhaust; www.feulingparts.com
Spyke/Compu-Fire: Owned and operated by San Dimas, California
based Pertronix, recent updated Spyke and Compu-Fire designs include
Stealth, Super Torque and High-Torque starters, advanced ignition system
kits, and mechanical and electronic advanced ignitions;

Paughco: Recent new products from the legendary Carson City, Nevada
based manufacturer include billet 6-degree CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet
aluminum triple trees, designed to minimize the handling and front-end flop
problems associated with altered front-end geometry. Developed to
accommodate a number of its most popular chopper frames with 45° neck
rake, used in conjunction with “raked” frames and appropriate length
extended front ends, the 6-degree offset provides near stock “trail”
dimensions, which in turn virtually eliminates radical front-end flop;
