Everyone chooses to start somewhere – We chose the top.
Rolling Thunder has been a leader in the aftermarket industry for eleven years. Consistent innovation is the engine that drives our continuous growth and achievement in the exciting world of motorcycles.
Rolling Thunder Founder and CEO, Spencer Racine, opened his first motorcycle shop in California, 1994, and started building the frames that have ultimately led to our success. With his history of motorcycling, he knew that in order to be an industry leader you have to be one step ahead of the game; and he was. In 1999 he was the first to release a custom frame built for a 230mm rear tire. People took notice and Rolling Thunder Mfg was instantly propelled to the top. When the Right Side Drive transmission was released in 2000, Rolling Thunder once again designed the first custom frame to fit. The aftermarket began to revolutionize and Rolling Thunder was there to lead the ride.
Rolling Thunder, facing rapid growth, refused to compromise the craftsmanship that they are now notorious for. The metal guys who build these frames love taking raw steel and morphing it into a sleek custom frame; it’s more than just a job – it’s a passion. Before long, the company had developed a solid base of loyal customers, both new and experienced builders, who valued our expertise and appreciated our attention to detail when it comes to our frames.
Our ride is far from over, we intend to continue revolutionizing the industry as demonstrated by the recent release of our SLX series frames that sets a new standard of excellence for cutting-edge design. “History consists of a series of accumulated imaginative inventions.” – Voltaire (one smart dude!)
