Tucker Powersports has just announced that they are obtaining Kuryakyn Holdings LLC, a leader in the design and manufacturing of premium aftermarket motorcycle and powersports products.
The report came from a press release on Tuesday of this week, along with the information that Tucker plans on incorporating Kuryakyn products into the Tucker brand, rather than maintaining Kuryakyn as a separate business entity.
“This is a tremendous move for Tucker, for the Kuryakyn brand and for the dealers we serve,” says Marc Allister, President and CEO of Tucker Powersports.
Marc Allister, CEO/President of Tucker Powersports“Kuryakyn’s industry-leading products will continue to be available to dealers and customers while Tucker becomes an even stronger supplier to dealers in not only in custom, cruiser and touring, but new market segments as well.”
