@Graeme:

The Indian Scout is stock, as far as I know. It's a good looking bike, but rather small, so @Jordonf9 might need to look elsewhere if he's as lanky as @Sam and I are.

Just seen the Ashley Watson Eversholt jacket over at Silodrome.

It's a waxed canvas jacket with a Dyneema lining to provide abrasion resistance; a waterproof and breathable drop liner to keep you dry; and a set of D3O armour. It's also available in navy. Could be good for riding around town.

We've got these in stock. www.foundrymotorcycleshop.co.uk

@Sam The custom route is always the better option!  Do you know where you'd want to start if you did? Doner? Style? Always good to hear what ideas people have.

@Giles I'm sure we can come to some kind of arrangement, maybe some custom parts in exchange for keeping both of us kitted out in the workshop.

@Sam @summ3rhays I think Triumphs new Bobber will have a massive effect on Sportster sales. Bonnevilles have had a huge impact in the custom/cafe/brat/tracker scene the past few years, Triumph have been not just spot on with their builds but also their marketing. We've been speaking with Triumph about them maybe bringing down a couple of their new Bobbers to our event on the 1st, whether on not you'll be able to test ride them or not from ours is another story but I'll keep whoever might be interested in doing so updated.

Here is one of our builds ("Silver R8cer") from last year that we had on display at The Bike Shed show last summer. We've got a strong presence in the Cafe Racer scene here in the UK but it's not our sole focus. Below is a Triumph Bobber ("56") we did a couple of years back for another customer.

I've had a look back through this thread and seem some interesting stuff. Would be nice to see some more custom work, both shed and pro.

@Sam Yes, please do come by some time. 1st April we have our Spring Ride-In, if the last one is anything to go by it should be quite busy with loads of bikes. We'd love to come down Gosport way some point over the summer. Its been discussed here in the workshop a couple of times. We will let you know, and we will take a ride down.

You can see more of some of the builds we have done over on our website.

Hey everyone! I feel like I am posting this in the most appropriate place given the topic and what we are about.

Just to introduce ourselves briefly, we are a custom motorcycle shop based on the South Coast of the England, close to Chichester and the Goodwood Race Circuit. We carry out work ranging from subtle electrical modifications to complete custom builds.

Along side the workshop side of things we also have a coffee shop and retail space. So if you every find yourself down this neck of the woods, drop in for a coffee, check out some great gear and have a chat about some tasty modifications you may have in mind for your ride.

If you really want to get to know what we are all about, we are having a Spring BBQ Ride-In on the 1st April. We've got a tight customer base and a lot of them should be along on their bikes so you'll get a good chance to see some of our past work. (More on the event - https://www.facebook.com/events/1242900855806238/)

Looking forward to seeing more on this thread!
