Default kuryakyn - What about?

I've been looking at a few accessories from Kuryakyn but was curious about where they are actually from? I've been seeing their products for a while but darn if I know anything substantial about the company itself. I see they have a Kuryakyn, USA location but can anyone enlighten me as to where their headquarters are located...Russia..UK..?? Just curious I guess..

Great products. Great customer service. Great Rep.

Adding a nice story just makes it a complete no brainer.

Cool, With that name I was thinking they were a foreign company but sounds like an American success story.

Their parts are well made and will make you bike really stand out. I have added quite a few to my bike, ISO grips, Pilot pegs on the front and the Batwing pegs on the rear. Another thing that also is great is their pricing.

I've added their parts to my Fatboy and also wondered who owned them. It's good to know the owner is from the USA but I'll bet that most of their parts are made overseas. I just got a set of swingarm covers and one of the pieces was missing from the package. The individual piece came yesterday and when I opened it, the plastic cover had a "Made in Korea" sticker on it.

No big thing these days. Seems like a lot (most?) of the H-D add-on parts are made over seas too.

Dangit! I thought they were aliens from the planet Kuyarak. The one just a little larger than Pluto, but still not big enough to be considered a planet.
