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 exhaust 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. Some of the more popular models are BUB Jug Huggers, BUB Stubbies, BUB Rinehart, BUB Chambermaids, BUB Big Willey, and BUB ATV exhaust.
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.
