BC has always been known as a leader in quality parts, and that reputation is exemplified by the brands they represent and the brand names they develop. Biker's Choice is a source for the leading brand names in the American V-Twin aftermarket industy.

Company History:

In 1971, a business-savvy entrepreneur saw the need for a good Harley® parts distributor in the New England area. He started NEMPCO (New England Motor Parts Company). With ten years of growth and success behind him, he brought on a veteran partner to focus on performance and replacement parts. In 1984, to further define the company's position in the market, they began calling the company "Nempco – The Biker's Choice.”

Nempco –The Biker's Choice caught the eye of Tucker Rocky, one of the largest distributers of motorcycle parts, and in 1992, they jumped into the Harley accessories market by purchasing Nempco. This gave Nempco the strength of a nationwide sales and distribution system and with it, the ability to expand their product lines. In late 1998, Nempco changed its name to Biker's Choice – a name that reflects what the company is all about.

Today, Biker's Choice is one of the most dynamic brand names with the highest-profile catalog in the industry. Unlike some companies in the industry, Biker's Choice is run by dedicated, life-long bikers who understand the American motorcycle enthusiast.
