Take a seat!
During a build, one of the things that I’ve noticed is
often left as an afterthought is your seat. Usually, what happens is that you

Parts are steadily selling and we’re seeing a demand for smaller items, like switchgear sell in big numbers, as it’s a last-minute product that you may need if, say, you’re building an older bike that needs its electrics modernised. Keep an eye on our website for new switchgear coming through, as we’ve had a dearth of it recently.Also, we’ve got some new vinyl throw-over saddlebags with matching rollbag coming into stock over the next few weeks which promise to be very well made, functional and
