It was noted on another forum Ride PG (Powersport Grafx - http://ridepg.com/) may be closing. In the N. Wilkesboro NC journal the building and land occupied by PG is under foreclosure. http://m.journalpatriot.com/legals/notice-of-substitute-trustee-s-forec…

If this is true, this is a total bummer. They provided graphics and suspension services for many years. They recently were name the WP dealer and factory services suspension shop for the east.

That's a serious bummer as they do/did really great work at a competitive price. May explain the delay of my custom graphics design work I submitted to them for my YZ250 update. Thankfully they havent charged me for any of it yet, also a sign of stand up folks facing a hard situation (a shady business would have just charged me and closed their doors). Hope the best for them and their employees.

I guess I need to find someone else to do my graphics now. Any suggestions for someone that can take my artwork and produce custom graphics for the new 15/16 two stroke body work? West Coast would be easier but not a criteria. Good quality material and work at a fair price is.

http://armoredgraphix.com/home - They did the last bike that was featured in DirtRider Mag (Cycra Project Bike). The bike is on the scroll on their home screen on the website. Really good stuff and a joy to work with.

Why doesn't someone call them? Losing their building doesn't necessarily mean they are out of business.

So glad to hear. They did my graphics, and honestly, they have held up the best so far of any company thus far. I have 20 hours on the bike with these graphics, still at like 90% from new. Give them a try!!!!

Sweet bike! I love seeing other peoples bikes as they are real examples of what different things actually look like. I really like the way your seat cover looks. I may "borrow" that idea and put it on my sons 250. Plus, I think changing the airbox to the "new" version would be the icing on the cake. What do you think?

I'd like someone to confirm the above statement made by a noob to the forum before changing. I've heard complete opposite.

The word around here locally is that they were selling new bikes and not paying Husqvarna for them. Can anybody confirm this?

PG is closed and not doing business in another location (to my knowledge) as mentioned previously in a post above. I am not sure where they got that information.

I know Benny Weathers that worked there and he is a good guy. I met the owner/suspension guy at the KTM dealer show and within 5 minutes I thought I would never send anything to him.
