BUB Enterprises started
in 1978 with Denis Manning and a desire to build exhaust pipes. He starting
with Triumph parts because he knew about the system and at the time no one
else was making them. The products expanded to Harley- Davidson and then
incorporated the European machines. Before too long he started making
exhaust for the Japanese bikes too. After a number of years, the motorcycle
industry in the US was in a decline and while sales of BUB products were
stable, a choice was made to move up to Northern California. Operating from
Denis's own home, at the time sales increased which enabled him to move
production into a 3000 sq ft building perched atop a hill overlooking the
valley on his ranch, the building is still used for his racing shop today.
A 15,000 sq ft building in Grass Valley, designed by Denis, is currently
occupied by the company and is still continuing to develop better exhaust
pipes for a wide range of different motorcycles, and an additional expansion
into a second premises has occurred to assist the growth of the company and
development into additional motorcycle, and now ATV products. In April of
2005 BUB once again expanded by opening another manufacturing facility in
Janesville, Wisconsin In the immediate future, further expansions are
planned, to assist the increase in production and development of new
products. BUB currently offers exhaust products for a wide range of Harley
Davidsons, heavyweight Japanese Cruisers and Sportbikes, European
motorcycles and Sport and Utility ATV’s.
From the production of Triumphs, which are still made today, to the latest
motorcycle lines, BUB Enterprises maintains its reputation as one of the top
exhaust pipe makers for motorcycles. With the addition of ATV exhausts to
the BUB Enterprises range, BUB is constantly improving on products and
continuing to build it’s great reputation for quality performance pipes.
