Custom Ideas by Model: Start With the Machine You Own

Style is the visible part of a custom build. The invisible part is compatibility: whether the bodywork still clears the wheel, whether the charging system can carry the lights, whether the suspension still has travel and whether the result can be registered and insured.

These pages are model-specific starting points, not catalogues of parts. Each one describes a design direction, the modifications that suit it, the constraints that decide the budget and the workshop services that should handle the risky work.

Keep the original parts. Reversible changes protect resale value and make a future repair easier. A build is finished when the bike is stable, legal and reliable, not when the last part is bolted on.
