The Story Behind Pivot Works, Inc.

In 1999, Curt was looking through a magazine and noticed an ad for swing arm bearings. He called his friend Jim Hickman (owner of Hickman Racing) and asked about the viability of selling a bearing, seal, and pin kit. Jim said, "It's a great idea, but you might as well make a linkage kit, they wear out twice as fast." Curt combined all the parts into the world's first complete kit and Pivot Works, Inc. was born!

Since that time Pivot Works, Inc. has grown into the largest and most recognized brand in the motorsports industry with over 500 kits and over 7000 individual applications. Pivot Works, Inc. did this by being the first to market complete bearing and seal kits. By duplicating and improving upon the OEM design and quality Pivot Works, Inc. has earned the reputation of being the #1 choice when it comes to replacing these components.

"Pivot Works has been a dream come true for the Suzuki amateur race program. Their complete line of replacement seals and bearings meet OEM standards and their convenient packaging make seal and bearing maintenance much easier."
