About Us

Unity Manufacturing is a parts and tools company focused on providing quality affordable parts and tools for Harley-Davidson motorcycles, with a focus on Shovelheads, Panheads, Knuckleheads, and Sportsters. The idea for Unity started in 2016 when I got my first Harley, a 1975 Shovelhead.  Like most Harley owners, I wanted to customize and modify my bike.  While working on that bike, I started having ideas on tools to make the wrenching a little easier.  Having a degree in engineering and some fabrication skills picked up while participating in Formula SAE in college, I started drawing up some ideas.  I'm fortunate to have a friend who works at a metal fabrication shop, and he was able to turn my drawings into prototype tools.  After using those tools and sharing them with some friends, they asked me to make them some of their own.  This sparked the idea that if me and my friends need those tools, then there are probably other people wrenching in their garages just like me that would probably benefit from these tools as well.  So, in late 2018 I began selling the parts and tools I made under a different name, starting with the dogbone torque wrench adaptors (Which are still the number one seller all these years later). 


In 2022, I was developing more motorcycle and chopper parts and realized I needed to rebrand to reflect that I was not just a tool company, so I created Unity Manufacturing.  One of the first new products I put out under the Unity name was my Tuff rotors.  They took a long time to develop and have manufactured, and I am super proud of how they turned out.  It was also around 2022 that I started collecting parts to build my first Panhead, which I ended up building for the Biltwell People's Champ competition that is a part of Born Free.  Building that bike was a great time and it gave me so many ideas for new parts and tools, such as the exhaust fabrication clamps.  

Today Unity MFG has more that 50 different parts available, but is still run out of my garage in Columbus, Ohio.  And I still have the 1975 Shovelhead that started me down this path.
