IRVING, Texas — July 12, 2017 — J&P Cycles, the world’s largest aftermarket motorcycle parts and accessories retailer, announced a multi-year partnership with the City of Sturgis, South Dakota to be the “Official Motorcycle Aftermarket Retailer” of the legendary Sturgis® Motorcycle Rally™ held each August. This year’s Rally is Aug. 4-13, 2017.
The partnership is a perfect extension of the company’s year-round retail presence in Sturgis, featuring the J&P Cycles store on Lazelle Street. J&P’s 2017 Rally experience adds a mobile customization shop featuring Kuryakyn, Dunlop, Vance & Hines, Mustang Seats, and dozens of other leading brands.

Being named the “Official Motorcycle Aftermarket Retailer of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally” is a testament to our commitment to the city and the half million riders visiting the granddaddy of all motorcycle rallies.”
“J&P Cycles is the first name in retail for motorcycle customizers,” said Mark Carstensen, Mayor of Sturgis. “Here in Sturgis we see riders come from all over the world to visit the J&P Cycles flagship store. They are an anchor in our community and they’ve earned the right to be the Official Motorcycle Aftermarket Retailer of the Sturgis Rally.”
