The people behind the graphics

From the track.
For your ride.

Founded by Ernie Bolden in 2005. Carried forward by Ty Gehman. The next chapter of FTR starts with the same passion.

2005 / THE BEGINNING

Ernie built the foundation.

Ernie founded FTR in 2005. Back then, it was called Final Touch Restyling, a detailing business that, thanks to Colin and Alyssa’s love for motocross, found its way onto the track. From there, Ernie built FTR into something special a company known for his graphic kits being top-notch fitment, coverage, and quality that riders could trust.

THE CONNECTION

More than graphics. Moto family.

I first crossed paths with FTR early in my racing days, and the Bolden family quickly became part of my moto family. Whether we were out at Breezewood, racing or hanging around at different events, FTR was always in the mix. Over time, I had the chance to work alongside Ernie helping out when he was slammed and I had downtime from my own work. Through that, I discovered how much I loved designing, printing, and bringing people’s ideas to life.

THE NEXT CHAPTER

Ty carries it forward.

When the opportunity came to take over FTR, I didn’t hesitate. My goal is to continue Ernie’s legacy. To carry the FTR name forward with the same hard work, pride, and passion that built it in the first place, while adding fresh ideas and modern tools to keep pushing it further. I like to think Ernie’s still keeping an eye on things, yelling “that’s not how you do it!” but smiling, knowing his name and the FTR legacy live on.

The legacy keeps moving
