Custom Motorcycle Kits

Finding one is easier than you think

With the advent of popular shows like "Orange County Choppers," "Rides," "Monster Garage," and other shows aimed at gear heads, customizing motorcycles has become a passion for people who are handy with a set of tools. These shows have also popularized the motorcycle as an individual expression of who the rider is.

Express yourself on the road

Tossing aside standard design of touring bikes or performance bikes, custom motorcycles have a flair that is instantly recognizable. Why settle for a standard, mass-produced brand name bike that hundreds of other riders own? Custom motorcycle kits let the enthusiast reflect his or her personality by building a bike to suit distinct tastes.

Finding a custom motorcycle kit is easy and there are several price and construction options. Starting with only a frame, fenders, and oil bag, kits can be bought for under $1,000. Full-blown all-inclusive kits will run from $10,000 to $35,000.

BYOB means build your own bike

Beginning with a rolling chassis, you can find all the parts you need to build your own bike. It's possible to buy every part new and be assured it will fit. The time of searching for the perfect part (and in usable condition) is over. You can challenge yourself with various skill levels by choosing frame kits or by selecting an all-inclusive kit.

Many kits come unpainted, so you can choose your own paint style, color scheme, and decorative trim. Some kits let you select the color of gas tank and fenders. You can then add accent colors and trim that appeal to you.

Choices, choices, choices

Many full-blown all-inclusive custom motorcycle kits offer different packages based on the same design. Choices usually involve components like handle bar or fender styles, seat styles, engine finishes, and decoration packages.

Building your bike with a custom motorcycle kit is a rewarding experience that adds extra excitement on the road of your life.
