JOHN Peck and Leigh Crawford have announced the launch of Firebrand Design LLC, which will manufacture and design aftermarket products for motorcycles. The two industry veterans said they are "focusing initial efforts on manufacturing exhausts for Harley-Davidsons," but that they "also plan on expanding the line with other products and for additional vehicle brands."
The company's first products are Loose Cannon Slip-Ons for Harley touring models. "Products for Sportster, Softail and Dyna are currently in production and will be available this summer," the company announced.

| Firebrand’s new ‘Loose Cannon’ exhausts are available in chrome or black ceramic. The company uses what it is describing as a ‘flash-suppressor’ end treatment and a “race inspired” high performance baffle which features dual density muffler packing and is designed to “maximize stock and high performance motors.” |
Firebrand products are being distributed by HardDrive Parts, a division of Boise, Idaho based distributor Western Power Sports (WPS).
Peck, President of Firebrand, is the former Vice President of manufacturing at Vance & Hines. “We saw an opportunity for a company that could combine the experience and production capabilities of the large corporations, with the passion and creativity of the custom shops,” he said. Peck will manage day-to-day operations.
Crawford, taking on the role of Vice President of Development at Firebrand, is the former R&D manager at Vance & Hines.
“We don’t want to be just another exhaust company,” Crawford said. “As an enthusiast, I am creating products that not only push the limits of style and design, but provide riders a tremendous value.”
