Default Dear Kuryakyn

You do have some nice products,I have bought some, however, why do so many of your chrome items look like 1950s space patrol stuff? You tend to go way overboard when designing things. Simple is OK too. When I see your display bikes at a major event I can't help but think OMG who the hell would want their bike lookin like you drove a magnetic bike thru a cheap chrome store. I repeat, they do make SOME nice products. Those that like them, enjoy. I just think they's sell even more stuff if they would tone it down a bit. Just my 2 cents.

I wish I owned Kuryakyn. I'd sell the daylights out of all those high priced under performing Hypercharger air cleaners and gaudy chrome skull zombie led flashing light gizmos to all the chromosexuals buying new Harley's. The only problem I'd have would be deciding which bank to put all my money in. Dolla Dolla billz yall!

The only Kuryakyn parts I like are the black ISO grips with throttle boss.

Crusher mufflers and their 24d cam are the only things from Kuryakyn I would consider putting on my bike.

I wonder if they're going to see your "letter"? And if they'll reply.

Try and get your .02 cents back. If you want to make a difference, get a job there.

LMAO. Those cats make money hand over fist. For every complainer, they seem to have 10 fanboys

No "Kury-Krap on any of my scoots either. Gaudy and expensive plus they sell mostly to newbies that don't know any better (and have poor taste) while they laugh all the way to the bank.
Good for them.

Wow....I just read Kury is trashing their whole current line up.....weird!





Actually they will keep everything going the way it is. Something about making millions despite upsetting a guy who can't even buy a stamp to send a letter to a company and posts it on a separate forum.....


The "funny" thing is quite a few people who say they don't like Kury have at least 1 thing on their bike from them. Me included. I've got black Iso grips also. I do love them.

Probably Küryakyn will change a bit with their "new" CEO Holger Mohr, who has been at Custom Chrome Europe before and should know well what parts sell good.
