History of FTM:
In September of 1977, Frank Miyake founded FTM as a Manufacturer’s Rep organization, but with the capability of providing hands-on Marketing designed to enhance the entry and sales of new products that can successfully provide sell-through results into the burgeoning motorcycle parts aftermarket.

We will endeavor to grow their business along with ours.

Beginning of RK EXCEL Relationship:
In October of 1980 FTM became the exclusive Sales and Marketing arm for RK Takasago Chain and later in 1986 assumed the same responsibilities for Takasago Excel Rims. The two Japanese companies later merged to become RK EXCEL Co., Ltd. in 1989, when their parent company Nippon Steel restructured the two Takasago Steel companies into the single RK EXCEL entity. Since then RK EXCEL has evolved into one of the world’s prime OEM and Aftermarket manufacturers of Drive Chains and off-road Aluminum Racing Wheelsets, Rims and Spoke Sets.
