J&P Cycles

J&P Cycles grew out of a shared passion for motorcycles. During the 1970s, founders John and Jill Parham traveled to swap meets looking for parts for their Harley-Davidsons. Meeting other riders and small manufacturers showed them there was demand for hard-to-find components and a community of enthusiasts looking for a place to connect.

The couple began organizing swap meets to showcase parts makers and bring riders together. After a 1984 fire destroyed most of their inventory, they chose to keep going and opened a new shop off Highway 151 north of Anamosa, Iowa. In 1987, they published their first printed catalog, extending the business to customers across the country.

Today, the online store groups parts for engines, exhaust, suspension, brakes, drivetrain, lighting, controls, tires, seats, luggage, and electrical systems. Shoppers can browse by motorcycle type and brand, with original-equipment and aftermarket options for different setups and model years.

The selection also includes helmets, riding apparel, gloves, footwear, and other gear, along with products for ATVs and UTVs, snowmobiles, and watercraft. That range makes J&P Cycles a resource for both maintenance and customization, from replacing a wear item to changing a bike’s ergonomics or appearance.

Online shopping serves riders across the United States and brings products from multiple brands into one order. Product pages help shoppers review fitment, specifications, available options, and related accessories. For technical parts, selecting the right year, make, and model is essential; customers with questions can contact the team for help navigating the catalog.

J&P Cycles operates three stores under its own name: 253 Destination Daytona Lane in Ormond Beach, Florida; 1650 Lazelle Street in Sturgis, South Dakota; and 2606 Teaster Lane in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. These are in-person destinations for riders who want to browse products or connect with local motorcycle culture; the official locator lists each store’s services and hours.

The company’s path from swap meets to a national catalog helps explain why its identity remains tied to the riding community as well as parts sales. Its stores in towns associated with road trips and motorcycle events sit alongside a wide-ranging online business, designed to help riders find components across motorcycle brands.

For repairs, upgrades, or customization, J&P Cycles offers a catalog that spans essential parts, touring accessories, and apparel. A good search starts with the exact motorcycle model and a fitment check. Riders who prefer to shop in person can visit one of the three J&P Cycles stores or separately browse the locations in the Cycle Gear network.
