Küryakyn’s rolling showroom is also slated for some major changes in 2014. The Küryakyn semi trucks, a long-time fixture on the rally circuit, are receiving a full face lift that includes new awnings and wraps. “We are totally revamping our rally presence for 2014,” says Küryakyn Rally Manager Bryan Desimone. “Look for the big debut of the big rigs at the Laughlin River Run April 24-27.” With the focus on facilitating customer’s ability to access the information they need, Küryakyn has also taken a fresh approach to their catalogs this season. Along with a modified release schedule and a more focused layout with simpler organization, the catalogs will continue to be the “go-to” source for product education. The following Accessory Catalogs are scheduled to be released throughout the riding season; Harley- Davidson, Victory & Indian, Gold Wing, Metric Cruiser, and Küryakyn Luggage. “As proud as we are of our past, we are really looking forward to the ride for the next 25 years,” concludes Desimone.
