Custom Motorcycles

Custom motorcycles built, painted and modified by a team of passionate, knowledgeable enthusiasts at a customs shop in Chesapeake, Virginia.

We also perform oil / transmission fluid / tire changes for servicing on a wide range of motorcycles.

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.
