Just learned that Jay at APE just passed. He was big into drag racing and more importantly for us started out and continued to support work on the sohc cb750. I have bought many parts and machine work from APE and had some interesting text messages with Jay over the years about the 750 motor. He knew his stuff when it came to bike engines and his loss will affect the sohc community. RIP Jay

We at Dragbike.com are deeply saddened by the recent news of the sudden passing of Jay Eshbach, the President and founder of APE (American Performance Engineering). Jay's journey began in 1974, operating the business out of his garage in Torrance, California. From these modest origins, Jay propelled APE to remarkable success, emerging as one of the most ardent champions of motorcycle drag racing the sport has ever known.
