Up here in Canada, a small autobody and bike custom shop in Airdrie AB. got up and running a couple years ago. Every time I go in there, they are expanding with new machines, tools, etc... They do some amazing work and concepts...even though most of their stuff is more for shine, it still feels like Disneyland for bikers.

Now they are expanding into retailing after markets and hiring a pro HD mechanic to specialize in HD customs and mods. Also moving into a second building for showrooms and retail just down the street. June 1st will be their grand opening. Concerning aftermarkets, since Canada doesn't have much for a nation wide supplier except for Parts Canada and such...they are planning on going nation wide via internet. They do have a website being built for such expansions. Me, I welcome this big time...most of my mods had to be ordered from the States and in turn had to deal with customs and duties along the way.

I believe their new retail division is called X-treme customs.

Anyways here are some pics of todays visit. The root beer paint job is tiats....and was a first time try from my understanding. A few other bikes had some other cool paint apps also.

Even though I myself would never get a shiney custom like these....good to know I got someone to go to for ideas and shop work. They already did great job last fall on my bags and back signal light bar to fit flush.

 

Nice work! You are fortunate that they are close.

 

I agree. And affordable. Their shop rates are like $25 an hour less than other Indys and dealerships. And every time I go in there, they take me on a tour on the latest. Great folks who love what they do.

 

Had no idea! I will have to drop by and visit.

Thanks for letting us know about this place.

 

Good looking show bikes.
Should help those with a practical purpose for their bikes to see some of what is possible.

 

That king in the 5th pic down is f'n awesome!

 

That's awesome info Josewales. Thanks for posting that. I've been looking for a local shop to do some detailing and custom paint on my RoadGlide. I will go up there one day for a visit.

Is this the site? ...

Dwayne the painter is hell of a guy. Ask for him when you pop in.

He said they have a pro working on a new website now that will include services and catalogs.

 

That bike in the fourth pic down is one cool looking bagger.
