Specialist services
Paint, modifications, hydrodipping
01 Custom Paint
Candy, flake, fade and pinstripe. Deep, wet finishes laid by hand and cleared to last. Color matched, buffed flat, signed off in daylight.
02 Hydrodipping
Patterns you can’t paint. Dipped, sealed and matched across every panel of the bike. Carbon, wood, skulls, camo, or bring your own.
03 Modifications
Big wheels, air ride, stretched bags, raked front ends. Engineering that backs up the look. Geometry corrected, brakes matched, ride quality kept.
04 Design
The whole bike composed as one piece, stance, color, chrome and light working together. Rendered before a single part is ordered.
05 Electronics
Radios, speakers, dials and gadgets, installed and wired clean enough to look factory. Fused, loomed, weather sealed, and easy to service.
06 One-off fabrication
If it doesn’t exist, we make it. Metal, leather and fiberglass shaped in-house. Fitted to your bike, not a template.
