Hello Yellow! I met with Brekr about 6 years ago at a motorshow in Houten. They were there with a early prototype of their dream. We talked a bit and then went on our way. I started following them on social media but that was about it. The thing was, i was intrigued.. The conversation we had was sincere and without any salestalk burdens and so i kept in contact as i was kinda hyped…
Continue readingThis 2006 KTM SuperDuke 990 came to us after a social media back and forth with Julian about customising a bike. We soon decided a bike that would stand out should be the plan and a full build was booked. Julian liked my work done to the Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 two years back but as he’s well above two meter, that was no option. He therefor decided that the Vit’s older and also bigger brother was…
Continue readingMax multistrada 1000ds Max’ Multistrada 1000DS had seen better days when brought in on a trailer. As most people, he disliked the weird stock fairing and tail so much he had decided to take it off completely. Not thinking about what lies beneath, guts were on the floor and bike rendered unridable. Still on the trailer, plans and budget were discussed. Due to the budget, the fuelcell had to stay and I had to work around…
Continue readingI met Bjorn quite some years ago when he was stranded with his 750 and I picked him up after he called me. Fixed his bike a couple times throughout the years and also told him every time he came in for coffee or repairs his engine internals were done. I could literally hear the primary chains hitting something, and I always thought of it as a timebomb. He said he bought it that way and…
Continue readingCB750 for Bart. This f2 came to us as a runner, but with a variety of small and big problems.After a brief back and forth with the owner we decided the engine needed a good amount of love so we started with that as the engine internals are a non-design thing and do not need to be discussed about. We always ask our clients lots of photos from bikes they like so we can get…
Continue readingThe 2019 Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 – Our first non-client build. New bike, fresh out of the crate. We’ve always been suckers for the old mx-bikes and the looks of them, so the brand Husqvarna was no stranger for us. The 701 is, completely stock, quite a stunning bike. You can see at first glance that a team of new-wave designers – Kiska from Austria – had their way with it. We chose the 701 because…
Continue readingTriumph T100 EFI for Douwe. Douwe came to us through the Instagram page of our friend Albert as he was working on his own bike that time and used Instagram to document his progress. Douwe liked it so much he asked Albert if he could build him a bike, but Albert told him to see us. Douwe came over to the shop and we discussed what donor we would be using. Our first bonnie…
Continue readingHonda CB500 with CB550 engine for Hoyan. Bike features in-house headlight brackets, electrics underneath the tank, Motogadget electronics and our branded seat label. We think we made our cleanest CB yet and hope you feel the same way! This bike came to us as a rolling frame and a couple boxes and the initial plan was to keep the bike relatively low-budget. After checking what parts were missing we made a new subframe and…

They’ve been quietly plugging away since, building bikes for friends and customers mostly without the…
Continue readingThis is our 8th commissioned build. The customer is our good friend Nick who was with us long before we were a shop. We named the bike after Nick’s band; Meet the storm. He worked on his bike now and then in our garage but decided to move accross country so the build went on hold while the shop grew and we were getting busier. We decided the build would go on a slow…
