...The Bikes

​Starting with some simpler builds, and moving to the more complicated. 

​​Too many pics, with way too many modifications to list, so feel free to peruse !

Nothing too drastic here, just an subtle tribute to our european brothers with some naked Cafe style and a pleasant rumble of a throaty V-Twin.  

Building extremely cool bikes like this one is one of the reasons we go through the work we do.  Our take on a Greg Hagaman inspired look, (with a little bit added from Classified Moto as well)

Mr Muscle...XV1000.    From the huge oversized rubber, to the deep growl  from the custom exhaust, this bike demands attention, and always gets it.
