We have been located at the Southwest
corner of
Michigan, in a small
trown of Coloma. The
origin of MCMOD is Mark. He started with his passion of
repairing and modifying his motorcycles with
the
goal of putting a bike together that was a challenge to his riding
skills. In
his words a bike that would perform better than he could ride. He
managed to
collect quite a few pre 03 buells. He started selling
HD/Buell parts on Ebay to provide some cash for his racing habit.
Mark Coleman started McModified in
late 2000 in a
response to an ever-increasing number of friends
who were consistently approaching him for maintenance, modification,
and
information or their machines. McModified gained local popularity and
as our founder developed relationships with customers, part
suppliers,
machinists, and designers our name shortened to the now popular McMod.
All profits from any transactions were used to maintain our supplies
and promote for our drag racing efforts.
We have been drag racing Buell's since 2003 and have several
members on our
team. All members of McModified ride but not just the Buell and Harley,
you are likely to see a hodgepodge of machines in front of our shop on
any given day including Victory, Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki. We at
McMod don't care what you ride, but that you
ride.The track is where we put our products through the testing
required to put theory into practice. The track also allows us the
privilege of cultivating friendships and exchange ideas with
seasoned iniduals providing us with greater insight to develop
better machines. It is also a great adrenalin rush. We have done our
best to provide information from the
results of our findings of these races as well as the theory behind the
modifications we use.
Now
A few of the parts we offer can be found nowhere else
as they were designed to provide alternatives, and we feel improvements
over the conventional ideas. We provide several outlets for our parts.
Our initial efforts went to the more cost effective Ebay
store, where we have
a selection of Harley-Davidson and Buell body parts as well as parts to
modify the Buell engine and carburetor. This outlet however did not
allow us the opportunity to relay the information we were starting to
accumulate so we expanded to McMod.com.
As the name of
McMod grew in popularity we also acquired McMod.com, which is a
redirect site to McModified.
We noticed that many of our friends and customers
wanted information on performance modifications and products. Some of
these products we do not carry in stock so we would recommend dealers,
shops or manufactures that we use. It is in response to that we have
started
this website.
Although the spark came from Mark this is not a one-person job. Many
have assisted in our efforts and I would fill a page on their names and
efforts they contributed some are web shy and wish to maintain their
anonymity. Mark's chief help is his partner, Terry Coleman. Terry
organizes and maintains the stores, records, researches ideas, assists
in web development, provides a discerning eye, and is the glue of the
company. Another associate is long time friend Steve Allain.
Steve repairs motorcycles, modifies and developes parts,
oversees website development, contributes artwork (both
graphic and
CADD), article writing skills, codeing (html, CSS,
PhP, G-code for CNC, etc.), and assists in
researching
ideas. Another big assist comes from Mike who knows his way around eBay
like the back of his hand, he also assists in motorcycle repair, shop
inventory and extra muscle when needed.
Future
We are constantly evolving as
interests, knowledge,
friendships, and the demands of
our customers direct us. We are currently developing a
business plan to
expand our distributorship's of motorcycle parts, better repair/machine
facilities, and local
motorcycle rider training
courses. We have also started development on a dirt and test/
tune
track as you can see to the left.
