Nowaskey History
Nowaskey Extreme Performance
a well-known name in the custom Harley Davidson and performance world, with a shared passion for pushing the boundaries of what these iconic bikes can do.
Nowaskey Extreme Performance, based in Menomonie, Wisconsin, was founded by Pete Nowaskey (aka Pistol Pete) over 20 years ago and has gained a reputation for crafting high-performance, show-quality custom motorcycles. Pete is a seasoned motorcycle mechanic and master builder known for his attention to detail and commitment to creating bikes that are as powerful as they are aesthetically unique. Over the years Pete has became one of the best tuners in the United States. From Trask Turbo installs and Big power Harley Davidson motor work. to paintwork and performance Harley Davidson suspension upgrades, Nowaskey Extreme Performance has become a go-to destination for Harley Davidson enthusiasts looking for bespoke customizations that reflect their unique style and riding preferences.
As Pete’s involvement in the performance world deepened, he transitioned into the high-performance suspension market, founding Nowaskey Extreme Performance. This division focuses specifically on developing and refining performance suspension systems tailored for Harley Davidson models. Nowaskey’s suspension systems are designed to offer superior handling, control, and comfort for riders who push their bikes to the limit, whether on the road or on the racetrack while offering the most adjustable and tunable Harley Davidson suspension offerings.
Nowaskey Extreme Performance is also heavily involved in the King of the Baggers racing series, where Pete and his team fine-tune their products in the heat of competition. Their performance suspension systems, developed through rigorous real-world testing, have become highly regarded among riders looking for that extra edge in performance, especially in Harley Davidson bagger and Dyna models.
Through both ventures, Pistol Pete has built a name not just as a custom builder but as a leader in high-performance motorcycle engineering, with a commitment to innovation and quality that stands out in the Harley Davidson community.
