We have been on the forum for a little bit right now but I feel like we should give you a little back ground about ourselves so you can get to know us a little better.
Short story: SEE THROUGH BRAZ® started because we didn't feel there was a good solution in the marketplace to be able to protect our trikes (which we love dearly).
Long story:
Al had wanted a motorcycle for longer than he could remember. His wife said NO WAY! So like any good husband Al decided he would please both parties involved (he calls this compromise). He decided he would go buy himself a trike (you see it wasn't a motorcycle and his loving wife didn't say no to a trike). Well he kept it a secret from his wife for awhile. He would keep it in a storage facility and then drive down to the storage facility to get it to ride around. Well you see Al lives in a town of only about 2,000 people and wouldn't you know it, one of his wife's best friends saw him riding one day (duh, we knew this would happen eventually), so instead of letting his wife find out from her he decided to tell her. She didn't like but they are still married so it turned out ok.
While Al was riding he realized he was getting chips, scuffs, etc. from just normal wear and tear. Since he had waited for so long to get his prized trike he thought that it wasn't cool. Al is also quite the product designer so he searched high and low for a product that he felt would protect his trike but was yet easy to apply and easy to remove when he didn't want it anymore. Well he couldn't find any that met his needs. So through working with different manufactures and testing he developed SEE THROUGH BRAZ. It was a pretty long process. So from that brain child he then though hey, lets print on the them so that we can do custom graphics without a custom paint job and then when you want to trade in your trike you can just remove it (kind of like the factory reset button on your cell phone). He also developed custom windshield trim for HD models in the process.
The SEE THROUGH BRAZ® Team
Al is the product guru of SEE THROUGH BRAZ® - He really does know a lot but because he is always working with the product he doesn't get a ton of time to work on the office/letting everyone know about the cool product.
Then there is Meredith. She is the one that works on the website (she knows it isn't the greatest website but is slowly working to make it better), Facebook, Trike Talk Forum, etc. She is super cool (ha ha I can say that because I am the one writing this).
Then we have Dan. He is kind of the jack of all trades but he is excellent at installation. You will see Dan and Al at rallies throughout the US.
Other support staff. We also have a few other behind the scenes people that help us out with everything ranging to answering phones to packaging product to installation.
We also have some awesome HD dealers that we work very close. A big shot out goes out to our awesome dealers (they actually put our product on their rental bikes because they trust it so much).
We are located in Northern Illinois. It has been a really crappy winter for us and it doesn't look like it is letting up anytime soon. This is bad for Al because he NEEDS to get out and ride to keep his sanity and to keep him from driving the rest of us crazy! On the plus side for people that have bought 2014 HD Tri Glides there is some exciting things in the works for you! We are also working on making different models for different manufactures as well. There just never seems to be enough hours in the day.
So feel free to let us know how we are doing, what you would like to see from us, or just say hi. We would love to hear from you and are always open to suggestions.
Yours in riding,
the SEE THROUGH BRAZ® Team
