Custom Frames

Here's a few pictures of some of the custom frames that we've built. I originally got into the motorcycle industry by working as a frame builder for Daytec Center (the highest quality frame manufacturer in the world). I spent 8yrs at Daytec learning everything I could about motorcycle frames and perfecting my welding skills before finally starting Elswick Cycles. We can build custom frames for Harley Big Twins, Sportsters, Triumph 650 and 500 unit engines, BSA A65/A50 engines and will eventually be offering complete frames for Yamaha XS650's. All of our frames are built in a jig to the highest quality standards with high quality materials and 100% tig welded. All frames include an MSO.  

Ralph's XS650

I originally started building this bike into more of a narrow chopper style bike for myself. A couple months ago I decided to give it to my brother-in-law since he's always tattooing me for free. He wanted to change it up a little and build it into more of a bobber. I love the way it looks with the Triumph TR25 front end and the spooled 21" wheel. We're gonna be running a 21" rear wheel  instead of the 16" and some lower bars. This is gonna be a badass little XS so keep an eye out for updates.

Triumph Hardtail Kit

We offer these complete kits with the oil tank and battery box already mounted for around $625. They're available for Triumph unit 650's or 500's. Our hardtails are the highest quality Triumph hardtails on the market. These have billet machined mounts and are completely tig welded. We dogleg the lower tubes for a balanced look and proper chain clearance. We also spent a lot of time perfecting our stress relieving procedure so they're a true bolt on fit (no prying or bending needed to install them). The owner of another "factory" had the nerve to ask me for dimensions, etc. shortly after we started building these then he went on to copy our design. Our hardtail is far superior in design, fit and quality. 

Custom XS650 Hardtail

We had a customer ask if we could build a hardtail for his XS650 that would allow him to use the stock foot controls. This is what we came up with. We're capable of doing this type of hardtail as a service if anyone's interested.

Ironhead Sportster Hardtail

We're now offering top quality weld on hardtails for Ironhead Sportsters. Like all of our parts, these are made to order. Current lead time is around 3-4 weeks. Please contact me for more info. robert@elswickcycles.com

XS650 neck rake service

If you're gonna be shipping your frame to us for a hardtail anyway, why not have us rake it out a few degrees and clean up the neck area. We normally charge around $225 - $250 to clean up and rake the neck like the frame shown in this picture.

Elswick Cycles Update

We have a lot going on here at Elswick Cycles but we're finally getting caught up on parts just in time for the busy season. In less than a month we'll be working out of much bigger shop in Hesperia California which will make things a lot more organized and help us to be more productive. We also have a new version of our website that'll be up and running soon. The new website will have all of our existing products plus some new parts that we have in the works. I'm gonna try to get back to updating the blog everyday. Sorry I haven't done much with it over the last few months.
