Greasy Knuckles
Motorcycles
The restoration and customisation of classic and vintage motorcycles.
Utilising our own unique perspective on design, each motorcycle is truly unique and bespoke. Almost every component is either renewed, replaced or refurbished.
Our restoration/modification builds utilise OEM, NOS or quality aftermarket parts while maintaining the classic look and feel of a classic motorcycle. Subtle changes to the drive train, wiring, lighting, seating and bars keep the old school joy with the reliability and safety of a modern motorcycle.
