My name is Erich Long and I would like to welcome everyone to visit speedshopinc.com

Some of you may remember me because I am "Bikeman". I founded Bikeman Performance back in 2004. Unfortunately my biz partner and I had a serious falling out and now I have Speed Shop Inc.

I will continue to focus on high performance snowmobile parts. My big bores engine kits have been working great for years now, all the way back to my 800 big bore for the good old firecats. That is, after all, my first product that launched BMP. Moving forward now I already have a full line of products for the popular models. The website isn't finished as of today, but at least you all can see what we're all about. There will be a lot more mufflers for all brands and clutch kits added this week especially for the Polaris and ski doo models. Other parts will be up this week too such as hornet studs, power commanders, team clutching and gearing, black diamond lightweight parts, and more.

My most popular big bore kits are the 900 kit for the cat 800, the 860 for the ski doo etec 800, the 860 for the Polaris 800, the 880 for the ski doo xp800r, and 660 kit for the Polaris 600.

But I still can do kits like the F8 big bore for the F7/m7, 1200 kit for the cat 1000, 1000 big bore for the cat zr /mtncat 800 and 900's, 1100 thundercat, 780 kit for Yamaha Srx and Viper, 760 kit for mtnmax700/sx700, we can keep going back to the 680 for the zr/mtncat600 if we really want to. lol.

I also have pipe mods for most of the popular model. They add a lot of power for
your machine. My first one was for the firecat 800 big bore kit that I developed. At Dynotech it made very nice gains of 5-6hp. And the newer version made 7-8 horsepower at dynotech later on. Other examples of power gains. Cat 1000 twin +6-7 hp. Cat zr/mtncat 900 twin with y pipe mod too +9hp. Cat 800 +7hp. Cat 800ho pro +6 hp. Cat 700 +7 hp. Cat 600 +5 hp. Rev 600 +8 hp. Rev 800 +9 hp. Mach z 1000 +5 hp. Etec 600 +5 hp. Etec 800 +5-6 hp. Polaris 800 edge +6 hp. Polaris 800 dragon +9 hp. Polaris 800 2011-2015 +6-7hp. Polaris 700 twin +7hp. Polaris 600 twin carb and cfi +6hp.

1100 turbo performance is still hot! You can't beat the bang for your buck performance! We have a few different performance exhaust systems, clutch kit, ecu power programming, charge tubes, and more.

So if you need a great running big bore, clutch kit, performance exhaust or more, please check us out at Bikemans, SPEED SHOP INC. speedshopinc.com phone 715.248.7490

Thank you!

Sincerely, Erich Long aka Bikeman

We would like to clarify a few things.



Erich Long started Bikeman Performance, which went bankrupt. The company and assets were then purchased by Jimmy, and legally re-named Bikeman Performance Plus. Erich Long was a manager and had no ownership of Bikeman Performance Plus. He was an employee that was terminated for cause in July of 2014. As much as we would like to share the reasons behind this, our lawyers advise us not to.

Since new ownership in 2008, the business has had great success. Previous products from when Erich Long owned the company were poorly designed and manufactured. Those who have been around the industry saw that turn around once the new owner, and new employees were in place. The real success to Bikeman Performance Plus lies in the employee's who put in many extra hours to do things the right way, and get the business on track. Erich did have a big part in the start of the company, but in the last few years he went in to coast mode. Working on projects that were only of personal benefit, not thinking of the company as a whole.

You'll see him use "My" when it comes to his products for Speed Shop Inc. Most of these items were engineered by employees of Bikeman Performance Plus, not by Mr. Long. He is simply using his nickname to associate himself with our company and take credit for products he did not design.

Bikeman Performance Plus is a state of the art performance center with nearly 20 employees. We engineer, test, sell, and manufacture quality products as a team of highly skilled individuals who know how to make horsepower.

What's the fun in that???? :)
Why would someone use their old business name as a username to advertise their new business?

SSI, Erich, or Bikeman?

Erich,

Please tell us more about your current business set up? Do you have a retail store front? How about an install shop for your products? Do you have any Employee's? Who has been designing or engineering these products and who has been performing the testing or R & D? What is your product warranty?

Are you offering the same products that were designed and or sold at BMP with the Speed Shop Inc name plates on them? Do you have a dyno for product testing to show actual benefits or HP gains? Do you have an actual business and a location or are you mail order only? Are you an approved vendor on Snowest? Why would we consider purchasing directly from you now given the egg on your face with your old reputation at BMP when the products were quoted as questionable and obviously it sounds like you did not depart BMP on good terms?

I did not ask all of the above questions to bash you but to learn more about your products so I am open to listening to you answer's to the above listed questions for me and anyone else on this forum to consider you and SSI products?
