About Custom Chrome, Inc:
It all started in a motorcycle shop, behind a two-car garage on West San Carlos Street in San Jose, California.
Four friends noticed that a growing number of motorcycle owners wanted to personalize their bikes by
customizing them. To meet the needs of these customers, the four opened a motorcycle accessory store,
Coast Cycles, in a retail space adjacent to the garage. It soon became apparent that few quality off-the-shelf
products were available. So in 1970 Coast Cycles changed its name to Custom Chrome, Inc. and began to
seek out manufacturers of custom parts and accessories, collaborating with them to build unique new items to
Custom Chromes specifications. Soon, motorcycle dealers around the country discovered the unique and
growing line of custom parts and accessories available from Custom Chrome® and we evolved into a
manufacturer and wholesale distributor of aftermarket products for Harley-Davidson ® motorcycles.
Comprehensive catalogs followed along with the need for larger warehousing, distribution, and product
development facilities. Today, Custom Chrome® is the worlds largest independent supplier of aftermarket
parts and accessories for Harley-Davidson ® motorcycles, distributing our own products, many of which are
offered under the brand names of RevTech®, Premium®, Dyno Power®, Santee™, Regency™, Chrome
Gear™ and C.C. Rider®. We also distribute other manufacturers products under their respective brand
names. Custom Chrome® has always been able to satisfy the marketplace with unique and innovative product
designs that rely upon an intensive research and development effort by our in-house staff of engineers and
product specialists. We also rely on the services of designers like John Reed, Rick Doss, Paul Yaffe, and
Dave Perewitz.

About AMSOIL:
As a jet fighter squadron commander Lieutenant Colonel Albert J. Amatuzio had ample opportunity to witness
synthetic lubricants in action. These oils are used exclusively in jet engines because of three extraordinary
performance characteristics: an ability to reduce friction and wear on engine components, an ability to function
dependably at severe temperature extremes and an ability to withstand rigorous and lengthy engine operation
without chemical breakdown. Recognizing that these same benefits would prove invaluable in combustion
engines, Amatuzio began conducting serious research in 1963. By 1966 he had formulated a synthetic motor
oil and put it to use in vehicles in northern Minnesota. Throughout the late ’60s Amatuzio continued his
research and development and sold commercially available synthetic oils under a variety of names. In 1970 he
incorporated his own name into a commercially sold product called AMMOIL. In 1971 this product name was
changed to AMZOIL and it continued to be sold commercially. The true milestone came in 1972 when
AMZOIL became the first synthetic motor oil in the world to meet American Petroleum Institute criteria. The
new lubricant performed like no other before it. When the first can appeared on the market in 1972, it
signaled the birth of an entire industry. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants have expanded the boundaries of
lubrication science and redefined the performance possibilities of modern machinery and engines.

About Küryakyn:
Küryakyn has been in the business of improving and beautifying motorcycles since before many of today's
riders "ran 'er through the gears" for the first time. Unlike a large segment of the industry, we've learned that
the bandwagon usually doesn't lead the parade. Everywhere throughout this site you'll see examples of fresh
Küryakyn innovation; well thought out parts that work, fit, and most of all, look great! We'll leave the "me
too" items to someone else. Each Küryakyn accessory is intended to look fantastic by itself, but is usually a
member of group of parts that combine to create a "look". This allows each rider to add accessories a couple
at a time, or go for the full complement all at once, without the end result looking like an arbitrary hodgepodge
of parts that can leave you wondering if they were all supposed to go on the same bike. If you desire
additional information, or have questions, we welcome your call or letter. Our well trained sales staff and
technical department will be glad to assist you. At Küryakyn, ideas are born from a passion for motorcycles
that spans 145 years of combined experience and active participation in the sport. Our ideas are products of
creative minds that realize a motorcycle isn't simply a means of transportation, but rather a representation of a
person's very identity. At Küryakyn we believe innovation is manufactured at the intersection of Performance
and Style.
