His friends thought it was a cool design and asked him to make more for them.
Per Lindby didn’t have the fabrication skills back then to build more engine guards from scratch so he hired a local guy in Anaheim to make him 10 sets. He invested his life savings to produce the first batch and it was a great decision.
With the money made from selling the first 10 engine guards, he followed that up with a batch of 40 more and took them to the Laughlin River Run in Arizona.
Selling the engine guards from a rented tent shared with a girl selling bikinis (smart marketing), Lindby sold out over that weekend.
Now, decades later Lindby Custom Inc sells their engine guards World-wide and we are proudly bringing them into Australia for Aussie & Kiwi riders to have access to them.
