Fort Worth TX – March 4, 2022 – Tucker Powersports, the nation’s premier powersports products distributor, keeps the post-AIMExpo momentum rolling, as it heads to Daytona Bike Week for the first time in years.

“Our brands have terrific appeal to riders of all types of motorcycles,” said Andrea Weeke, Tucker’s Senior Director of Marketing and Owned Brands. “Bike Week gives us a chance to share the great new accessories from Kuryakyn and Twin Power and show off some of our new ePower products.”

The company’s revamped rally program will feature one of its new display units as a centerpiece for its booth at J&P Cycles in Ormond Beach. It will feature products from Kuryakyn and Twin Power, two brands with products for all types of riders, especially those on the big V-Twins that gather at Bike Week.

Kuryakyn, a brand recently acquired by Tucker Powersports, will show its recently announced Wanderbar audio system, the Road Thunder Soundbar, its Torke line of waterproof ADV bags and a range of Momentum bags for road riders.

Twin Power has been delivering great products to riders since 1982. At Bike Week, the brand will be showing its new line of floating brake rotors, Shocker Gel batteries and its tremendously popular spray cleaners, lubricants and Ethanot!, a fuel treatment that appeals to anyone using today’s blended fuel.

The display will also include products from Tucker’s expanding portfolio of ePower products, which includes e-bikes, e-scooters and electric skateboards.

The Tucker display will be open at J&P Cycles from Friday March 4 through Saturday March 12 from 9am to 6pm.

Tucker Road Show Update

By General Posts

Tucker Road Show Update: Training Extended Through February, Events Moved to Fall 2021

Tucker Powersports announced today that the Tucker Road Show, a dealer training program that culminates in four celebratory events for powersports dealers, has rescheduled the events for the Fall of 2021.

The online training portion of the Tucker Road Show, the Virtual Road Show, is extended through the end of February, with many of the participating dealers already exceeding Tucker’s expectations for completion of the product-focused online courses.

In addition, Tucker is adding several additional rewards for dealers who have aggressively engaged in online training and is also allowing dealers to earn credits toward lodging and on-track racing experiences at the Road Show events.

“This change to the Road Show schedule is disappointing, as we are planning the events to be a huge ‘thank you’ to Tucker dealers,” said Brad Turner, Tucker’s VP of Sales. “Our hope is that by moving the events to Fall of this year, we’ll avoid local limitations on gatherings and encourage even more dealers to attend.”

“Our dealers and our suppliers have had a tremendous response to Tucker University and our online training programs,” he continued. “We’re confident that hundreds of dealer employees completing thousands of hours of training will improve the experience of every customer who shops at a Tucker dealer this year. In that way, the Tucker Road Show has already had an impact.”

The locations of the four events, Texas Motor Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway and Kentucky Speedway remain the same. The exact dates are expected to be announced in the next few weeks.

Featuring the most powerful portfolio of parts, accessories and apparel brands in the powersports industry, Tucker distributes top brands and offers its own brands, including Answer, Biker’s Choice, BikeMaster, Bully Locks, CoverMax, DragonFire Racing, FirstGear, ProTaper/ProTaper Sport, QuadBoss, Speed and Strength, and TwinPower.

By General Posts

Monsters of the South, the noted UTV customizer and event producer, will support Tucker Powersports strategy to expand product portfolio within Tucker’s DragonFire Racing and QuadBoss brands to support the connection with passionate consumers

November 9, 2020 – Fort Worth TX – DragonFire Racing and QuadBoss today announced a broad, multi-level partnership with Monsters of the South (MOTS), one of the country’s largest UTV (utility task vehicle or side by side) event promoters and the nation’s top UTV customizer. The multi-year agreement brings the three industry-leading organizations together for product development, testing and events.

“The knowledge and experience these guys bring to the table are a resource we’ve never had at QuadBoss,” said Justin Lasater, brand manager of QuadBoss. “I can’t wait to hit the ground running with the ideas they’ve already shared. The MOTS team are true innovators and we will lean heavily on their forward thinking.”

“This is a partnership between three companies with a passion for power sports,” said Brandon Fox with Monsters of the South. “Merging their talent for creating and delivering great products with our connection to consumers and our eye for innovation is a huge win for us and for the industry. I’m honored to be part of this team. Get ready world, we’re excited and we’re comin’ to a town near you!”

Monsters of the South was founded in 2015 as a customizer of UTV’s and became known across the country for its over-the-top, custom designs. The organization grew to be one of the largest and most respected companies in the UTV industry. While their event roots run deep in the mudholes of the south, they are expanding into racing, performance and sand events around the country in 2021.

“The strategic vision for QuadBoss and DragonFire Racing is expansion through consumer-led innovation,” said Kyle Frederick, brand manager for DragonFire Racing. “That requires us to get our hands dirty on product innovation and Monsters of the South helps us do that both literally and figuratively.”

The relationship officially kicks off today and solidifies years of mutual awareness and respect that the three companies have for one another. The first products that are a result of the partnership will launch in early 2021.

MAG to Spin Out its Businesses

By General Posts

Six Business Units, including Tucker Powersports and J&P Cycles, to Become Stand-Alone Businesses

May 21, 2019 – Dallas TX – Motorsport Aftermarket Group (MAG) today announced a new and significant change to managing the multi-brand organization to its 1500 employees.

“We’ve asked each of our senior leaders to focus 100% of their efforts on creating value, delivering growth and expanding the entrepreneurial mindset within their business unit and their brands. When we do this, we will become more nimble, more aggressive and have a greater focus on the market and on our customers. We’d rather have a portfolio of successful companies with complete independence than force them to integrate, which turned out to be detrimental to several of our brands,” said Hugh Charvat, CEO of Motorsport Aftermarket Group.

“While our business units will continue to collaborate where helpful, there will be no corporate mandate to do so. And we’ll ensure complete independence between Tucker Powersports, J&P Cycles and our four other business units by making them stand-alone businesses. This demonstrates our commitment to supporting our dealer customers.”

“We now have great talent leading each of our business units, so the board and I feel that this is the time to unleash those individuals and all of our great employees to return our brands to the status they’ve enjoyed in the past without the operating restraints that have been in place as MAG.”

Known internally as “Unwinding the Vertical,” Charvat indicates that the change will be good for all the company’s stakeholders. “Aggressive companies led by great leaders will certainly have a positive impact on the powersports industry. Our goal is to lead in every product category where we compete.”

In the past several months, MAG has pursued and hired top industry talent to fill significant roles including powersports industry veterans Mike Kennedy, Greg Heichelbech, John Potts and Greg Blackwell.

About Motorsport Aftermarket Group

MAG is based in Coppell, Texas and includes six independent business units which manage 18 consumer brands.

Twin Power Introduces Heavy Duty Axle and Adjuster kits for 2002 and Later Dresser Models

By General Posts

Twin Power is excited to announce the addition of Heavy-Duty Axle and Adjuster Kits for 2002 and later Dresser models to its product line.

Fort Worth, TX – Twin Power Introduces Heavy Duty Axle and Adjuster kits for 2002 and Later Dresser Models

Twin Power is excited to announce the addition of Heavy-Duty Axle and Adjuster Kits for 2002 and later Dresser models to its product line. Twin Power is known for its high-quality parts and accessories designed for the American V-Twin enthusiast.

These axle kits feature a solid stainless-steel axle machined from 316 material that will not rust or seize to the wheel bearings. The adjusters are hard chromed steel with 4140 steel adjuster screws. All additional hardware is Grade 8 and installation tools and instructions are included. Kits are proudly 100% made in the USA and simple to install with only a minor spotting and drilling modification required.

“The High-Performance Bagger scene is exploding,” says James Simonelli, Twin Power Brand Manager. “Large displacement engines, turbos, and superchargers are becoming the norm. These mods will easily overwhelm the stock belt drive and snail cam style adjusters and typically also require a chain drive conversion kit. In addition to the extra strength, these kits also allow a greater range of axle adjustment and are a perfect addition to our popular Cush Drive chain conversion kits. They are also priced more reasonably than many of the other kits on the market but give you the quality that you’ve come to expect from Twin Power”.

217567 fits 2002 – 2007 models
217552 fits 2009 – 2019 models

Both kits retail for $354.99 and are available from your local Tucker V-Twin dealer.
