Sure custom built motorcycles are amazing, but they are expensive and take forever to build. What if you could build your own custom for free? Now you can without waiting! Harley-Davidson, Indian Motorcycles, Yamaha and Royal Enfield offer online motorcycle builders where you can customize color, engine performance, exhausts, intakes, luggage, seats, backrests, handlebars, footboards, controls, lights, rims and wheels, shocks and much more. Plus be inspired by parts collections, other custom bike builder creations and model styles. It’s fun, it’s free, it’s a great use of time to envision and be inspired on your bike or your next custom built motorcycle.
On a personal note, I really, really love that Harley-Davidson, Indian Motorcycles, Yamaha and Royal Enfield have offered these tools to motorcyclists and appreciate all the time, work and effort that went into making these for us bikers. I really wish the many other motorcycle companies would step up and do the same as well. With Harley-Davidson, the company took the direction to limit their online builder a couple years ago, which is unfortunate, but you can still see the bikes, parts and collections, so it’s still good. Indian Motorcycles, Yamaha and Royal Enfield are full on motorcycle building tools, so you’ll really enjoy those even more I think.
These online builders are unfortunately not easy to find and they tend to be buried within the manufacturers site so I might have missed one from another manufacturer. If I have, please contact me and let me know so I can add it.
Motorcycles riding is fun, but building your own custom bike online is fun too! Inspiration Friday: Custom Built Motorcycles, it’s just a fun Friday.
