From humble beginnings in 1967, JIMS® has grown into one of the industry leaders producing performance parts, accessories, tools, transmissions, and high-performance engines all aimed at enhancing the Harley rider’s experience. Originally, Jim Thiessen worked as a machinist with the aerospace industry. As bikes were brought to the shop in the early days for repairs and mechanical problems, customers would come to Jim looking for hard to find parts, or higher quality American made parts. In the mid to late 70’s Jim committed 100% to V-Twin Motorcycles. Developing parts & processes are his expertise, so naturally, he developed a reputation for precision machining in the motorcycle industry. Starting with just a few manual mills & lathes, JIMS now occupies several buildings totaling 50,000 square feet filled with CNC machines.
Company-wide integrity is the foundation for JIMS everyday practices. Most of Jim’s family works for the company, alongside a core team of talented employees that have dedicated the majority of their working career to this industry. Product quality and word of mouth have propelled JIMS’s facility into one of the premier manufacturing venues in the country and is the key to their success story.
