Default What's This All About?

After decades of billet and chrome customs we are seeing a lot more people building raw looking motorcycles these days. Many of these bikes are done with more passion and enthusiasm than cash and we feel there should be a home for them on his site.

So if you have a backyard built bike share it here. Got questions about your bike or plans for one like this ask them here.



If you love it share it here!

And yes, I do know Harley used the term Shop Dope years ago for many of their technical updates to their dealers.

Cool idea. I am getting an itch to build something. I do have a question on the pic above, Does the bike lean right as well? If so how? Thanks

We see a lot of people building or planning to build a "Shop Dope" custom either because they already have a nice rider and want something else that's different, or because they are more affordable to build.

We have the same section over at our bulletin board for classic Harleys www.caimag.com. Curious how the bikes posted in the Shop Dope sections of each site differ.

Looks like a Cushman Scooter with a home-built sidecar.
