Custom Built Motorcycles

Not just for the rich, famous and shameless any longer custom built motorcycles can be well within the reach of ordinary people like me. As more choices become available, pricing for customizing your own set of wheels is no longer prohibitive. If you can dream it, you can build it, subject only to your budget.

With custom built motorcycles, you can decide whatever changes and components you need to truly make your bike your own. Whether the chopper style, custom frame design, super stretched or compact, you get to decide. You can choose the components for the drive train as well as run all cables and wires through the frame to gain a neat clean appearance.

Selecting engine size, horsepower and torque are all up to you. If you want the latest in technology but prefer the classic lines of a vintage bike, there is no reason why you can't incorporate that technology in custom built your own motorcycle while preserving the look and feel of a bike made from a bygone era.

You can set up your transmission as five or six speed and choose between hand or foot-shifted and today there is automatic. With custom built motorcycles, how you decide to route the engine's power to the drive wheel is entirely up to you. Although mechanisms such as belt or chain drive are more commonly used, you can opt for drive shaft or even the more complex gear drive to transmit power to the drive wheel. Brake choices are also available, so if dual disk is your preference, you can set it up.

Fans of custom built motorcycles tend to be a bit more mechanically inclined and can opt for a carbureted engine that they can fine tune if they prefer. Or you can settle on a custom fuel injected motorcycle engine. Lighting can also be designed with both safety and cosmetic appeal in mind. Custom motorcycle headlamps can make nighttime riding a better experience. Further visibility can be improved with LED lamps for tail lights as well as directional signals.

Whatever form or shape you want your bike to take, custom built motorcycles can be built from the ground up at a motorcycle fabrication shop. You can of course opt for a factory built motorcycle that you can then customize. However, this choice is more limiting in that there may be fewer add-ons available to truly customize your bike. If you choose to build your motorcycle, you can incorporate whichever features you desire. If you can make it work for your bike, then you can go for it.

When it comes time to put the finishing touches on a bike, decorative elements on custom built motorcycles are where you can escape mediocrity. You can hand paint whatever designs your mind's eye envisions, or add subtle undertones to amplify color changes under different lighting conditions. With unlimited color options and gleaming chrome at your disposal, your personal statement can be as bold or subdued as you like.
