It’s never a priority at all but when it’s possible we also work on our own bikes. We have been so busy that I had to put my daily 1988 Goldwing 1500 to the side for over a month, just to change the rear tire.

One one the reasons for this is that to change the rear tire is a big job, having to take rear end and left hand box off. Because of this there are a few other jobs I wanted to do at the same time whilst the bike is apart which were to change out the rear master cylinder brake plus modify and disconnect the linked braking system. The next thing we did is change out the final drive oil, take both rear exhausts off ‘tires of them dragging on the corners’ and last but not least detail clean all inside the swing arm and rear suspension.

This last job here is a pro tip for those Goldwing’s out there because this really helps to preserve them. Almost all we see have been neglected in this department. If you look at the last picture you will see the condition this bike is still in being nearly 40 years old, it’s almost unbelievable 👌

Another very tricky project for one of our regular customers on his 2014 Kawasaki Ninja 1000. He had a spill and crashed it on the left had side, destroying a lot of the fairing on the left and front, bent the left handle clip on as well as the lever, ruined the engine stator cover, bent the front stay where all the fairing hangs from and last but definitely not least put a massive dent in the gas tank.

The problem with all this is even though the bike still ran and the forks were not bent to replace everything with brand new OEM components would cost an absolute fortune, probably $4-$5000 with labor, which is almost more than then bikes is worth, and therefore makes this a non viable option.

So the challenge we had is how to get it almost as good as brand new on around half the budget of what that would cost. Fortunately we have a few tricks up our shelve, such as an amazing painter that can repair any size dent to the point you would never know, we are also good at sourcing good used parts where appropriate, such as the front stay.

It’s a bit like trying to bring a jigsaw puzzle together with brand new parts, some used, repair some damaged parts, and match OEM colors such as matching the color of the paint on the rest of the bike with the new panels that were completely the wrong color, as well as put the decals on properly.

Anyway bit by bit we brought this together, finishing with a really great result in the end. You would not be able to tell at all there was ever any accident beforehand and the bike rides perfectly as well 👌

Lots we had to do here to get a customers 1200 Harley Sportster running again. First of we went to his house to pick it up on a trailer as it was not running. After a thorough check we established that we could save the battery, it would need the carburetor rebuilding and a full service and oil change, as well as the gas tank extensively cleaned and flushed out. The customer also said he would like to sell the bike so I recommended that we did a full detailed clean and polish to get it looking it’s best. We are now helping him to sell it, he wants $4,500. He has spent $7,000 in total buying the bike and then customizing it. The bike sounds and rides amazing, and looks really awesome too.
