Company History
Rucker Performance earned respect in the custom V-twin world for builds that combined lavish finish—deep paint, clean wiring, billet details—with geometry and component selection that actually ride well. Frames were kept within sensible rake/trail windows; braking packages were sized for mass; and engines were tuned for creamy, accessible torque rather than peaky dyno numbers. The shop’s craftsmanship extended to serviceability: fasteners you can reach, connectors that resist corrosion, and documentation that lets owners maintain their investment. Show wins came, but so did long-distance stories from customers who crossed states without drama. Historically, Rucker Performance exemplifies the maturing of the American custom scene: from spectacle to substance, proving that artful metal can also be a trustworthy traveling companion.
