Kuryakyn Plans Return to V-Twin Expo

Kuryakyn Holdings LLC, a leader in the aftermarket parts industry, is gearing up for a big return to Cincinnati, Ohio, and the V-Twin Expo hosted by Easyriders, taking place February 7-8, 2015.

Exclusive insights into Kuryakyn’s latest product developments for 2015 along with outstanding dealer incentive programs will be presented by onsite representatives in Kuryakyn’s all-new 50’ x 20’ display located at Booths 575 (Kuryakyn) and 581 (Crusher).

Kuryakyn will be showcasing the premium Bahn line of forged and precision-machined products, as well as the all-new XKursion luggage line, and sleek series of Tri-Line accents for the new ’14-’15 Harley-Davidson Touring models.

Crusher, the Performance Division of Küryakyn that made its debut at the 2014 Sturgis Rally, will be presenting its entire line of exhaust and performance products, including the skillfully styled and acoustically tuned Maverick Series Slip-Ons, 2-into-2’s and full systems that are made in the U.S.A.

“We have great potential for growth with the addition of new brands that complement Kuryakyn’s core product line,” said Holger Mohr, President of Kuryakyn. “We want to reach out to those who aren’t aware of the evolving Kuryakyn portfolio and leverage our staff’s knowledge to form new partnerships, both domestic and international, while also reinforcing existing relationships through educating our current dealer and distributor base. The V-Twin Expo provides the perfect opportunity for us to do that while introducing new brands like Crusher and Bahn to the entire industry. It’s an exciting time for Kuryakyn, and we’re thrilled to showcase what we’ve been up to and what we have planned for the future.”
