the hole deal with factorys... whats up?

[woodsracer144]

ok so as most of us know or should know that the aftermarket factorys start as a group effort and some how split up... and this guy goes his way and another goes the other... i just wanted to see how many factorys that we( all fourm users) could name off..

[SRH]

what are you asking??? aftermarket parts manufactuers? race teams? atv manufactuers?

[woodsracer144]

after market product factorys... IE i know JP went out... and they are older...
some other... i know IMS ROLL just spilt... it was in QUAD...

JP turned in to Lonestar

IMS/Roll was never a full company as far as i'm aware, just a partnership between a gas tank and a suspension company to help sell more gas tanks and a-arms. They did brand alot of stuff together like bumpers and foot pegs but i would imagine most of the hard parts came from roll since IMS is in the injection molding business it would seem like a jump to go to hard parts
