Works Performance

Anybody on the west coast know if there still in business? I have been trying to get in touch with them and am not having any luck. Need some spacers for my shocks.

I knew they were as late as 2013. I have not looked since. If I find them I will respond with a link.

Just checked and found this: http://www.worksperformance.com/

The internet buzz is that they are closed................for good.

There website still works,I have called and got linked to an answering machine and left a message a month ago but no replies.

I did talk to one of there resellers and they said there was one family member that wanted to keep it going and and another that wanted to shut it down after the owner died.

Gil, the founder and owner, died a while back and it sort of stayed open but I heard recently that it was closed for good.

a month or so ago one of the guys in our shop got a set shocks for his Dyna Superglide from them. so if they closed the doors it was recently. it's a shame because Gil and Margie where very awesome people to deal with.

Just called today, went to their voice mail box which was full, so I couldn't even leave a message. ????

Penton closed, looks like all the older places that made this sport great we're losing one by one. We all get old or pass on but no one younger wants to carry it on. That's sad we're losing that knowledge too.

Penton stopped importing bikes 40 years ago.

I've been rebuilding Curnutts for the last 4 years as I worked at the factory/shop back in the day. I have tried to get one of my grandkids interested in taking over for me but that hasn't worked out as he shows little interest in doing something besides his cell phone and he's 19. I've talked with other young guys that are into bikes but they don't seem interested in the older stuff. Pretty soon all the older guys with knowledge are going to be gone and they are going to take it with them to the grave. Sad.

Jack jr helped Kawasaki design the famous woods bike the kdx.

But they had the ignition business.

yes, we're losing a lot of good knowledge- hopefully your grandkid will see the light someday soon. put him on a CZ- maybe that'll work.

Have you considered making a youtube video to save some of your knowledge, and posting it, uh... ...later?

good luck.

Penton closed Penton Imports a few years ago.

I guess we had our hay day of Husqvarna knowledge in the past not many gurus left. Good thing we have this site and George from uptite. Uptite is still in business right?

I think Bill was referring to Penton Products importing and selling the Electronic Ignitions...which just shut down last year...

Shows to still be selling ignitions and is dated 2017 ?

They are closed, from Oct 24th 2016:

There is many of the dealers supplying Husqvarna parts that's listed in the tech ref parts section.

then there are "younger" guys like myself that have no one else in my family interested in motorcycles..lol, i wish i had an uncle like you in my family!

That's a bummer, what an incredible run they had though
