So I have been working on a motorcycle accessories company for a couple years on and off. We had one name and it sucked. Some things have changed and I am looking for a new name. Thinking short, simpl, and not necessarily obvious that it is a motorcycle company. Think Icon, Red Bull, etc... I will post ideas as they come to me for critiquing but am dead tired now and am going to sleep.

What sort of accessories will you specialize in? That may help.

Simple, Smpl, Frst, Route, Rout, Root, Rt

Hmm... I kind of like Rout. Simple, but with a double entendre that is a bit macho military like one one side and references roads on the other.

Any major features or landmarks of where you live or are basing the business?

Slammer Gear?

Also... what sort of accessories might one be tempted by from your catalog?

When I saw 'simpl', I thought that could be it too. Maybe drop the other 'i' like someone else suggested. SMPL

Rout's a good one.

Awesome turn around gang!!

psteav - go away (Also, not happening)

I wonder if you guys (and potentially gals) might be on to something with Rout and simpl. I like the lowercase feel of simpl. "Smpl" might be in the running too.

Jumper and Baron are currently in the front running for some swag!

In reply to G. P. Snorklewacker:

We are making parts for head light accessories, wind shields, tool kits, etc... to the forks of 99% of motorcycles. Won't be any good on your BMW but if you have an older bike with no aftermarket support, we will be able to provide some options. I posted some stuff on this last year.

This is my bike doing some very aggressive testing last summer in CO.

We are also working on a better way to trailer or lock upright a bike. We have the concept fleshed out on this one and need to start making more prototypes and betas for people to try out.

Created words are uniqie and trademarkable. That is how we get car names like Altima and Lumina.

Using that logic and expanding on Rout and simpl what other words jive with your brand but could be spelled another way?

Acxion = Action
Xyon = Zion (I recently saw this as an urban child's first name)

Edit since I now see your post and pics:
Tuphie or Tuffy = Tough
Brutall or Brut = Brutal

I think that they might be onto something with the Live wire. Also, head the street in person and it sounded like there was something seriously wrong in the valvetrain.

I actually like Xyon (instead of Zion) if you want to name your kid something unique (IE strange).

The initial market is likely to be the Adventure bike crowd that is using anything other than the big Beemers for their journeys. We did a bunch of research and there are lots of guys with no/crap stock lights making rigs with bailing wire or 100 man hours of fiberglass work to get better lighting on their bikes. We thought about using the tag line ADVenture Further but I am not found of inserting specifics from our current target market into the name.

Cool. Like a modular bed rail system for pickups... only for the front of the bike. Neat idea.

Now I humbly submit the name: NiceRACK
