Customization

FLEX SOME AFTERMARKET MUSCLE IN AN OFF THE RACK WORLD

Bespoke.

It’s a trendy word for “custom made for a particular person.”

Seems like everywhere we look these days, someone is playing to our sense of identity by offering something “bespoke.” Bespoke suits, eyewear, sneakers, firearms, watches, hoity toity coffee, meals, socks, phone cases, fortune cookies. A custom-tailored sweaters for your chickens? We’ll reserve comment. Bespoke hunting camo? Tell us more.

Point is, anything you can imagine has become fair game in the heat of the custom-made feeding frenzy.

Of course, Romney Cycles respects the desire to make something your own. More you. To tailor it to fit your wants, needs and even our dreams. As we well know, in our internal combustion driven world, this is nothing new. The mission to turn our vehicles into a unique personal expression of who we are and how we feel is in our DNA. Call it what you want, but at Romney Cycles, it’s always been customization. Owners modify. Tinker. Alter. Change. Adjust. Tweak. Refine. In some cases, even customizing in reverse – restoring it to original. Either way, is there anything with as beautiful a ring to it as “Custom motorcycle?”

We know it was great off the showroom floor. But for some, that’s just a starting point.

Some of us are less “off the rack” and more the aftermarket type.

In your mind, it won’t be truly yours until you add your special touch.

Join the club.

ROMNEY CYCLES KNOWS MODS

In 35 years of doing business, we’ve seen it all. And we’ve yet to meet the motorcycle or SxS that didn’t present some opportunity for its owner to make their mark.

While not everyone has the resources to have a fully custom vehicle built to their exact specifications, there are plenty of ways anyone can make theirs stand out in the crowd.

With so many choices, knowing where to start can be a little intimidating.

But it’s also exhilarating just thinking about the options you’ve got to play with: Color. Body work. Wheels. Pipes. Accessories. Parts. Bolt-on. Weld-on. And of course, the sound. It’s all a blank mechanical canvas.

For those looking to create their own Sistine Chapel, a trip to Pinterest or a thousand other forums will show you that there are endless options for custom paint to serve as inspiration.

And, oh yeah, chrome. Man, what can’t you get chrome plated?

LOOKS, PERFORMANCE & AFFORDABLE MODS

Interested in mods that are more about being easy on the eyes? Some, like classic racing stripes, mirrors and custom fenders, will turn heads. Others including, but certainly not limited to, exhausts kits, suspension upgrades or lighter wheels can help take performance to another level. Others – say custom brake and clutch levers, or tires – can accomplish both. Whichever way you lean, it’s one step closer to your one-of-a-kind machine.

If you’ve got the itch but you’re not ready to touch OEM specs, there’s a world of gifted custom helmet painters ready to help you add a touch of you to the finish.

While some mods can be expensive, there are plenty of more affordable, less invasive things you can do to get your feet wet. Like tank pads, windscreens, LED lights and more.

You know, start slow, it’s easy to get sucked in. Before you know it, you'll be in pretty deep.

It can become a lifelong pursuit of the ultimate ride. An obsession really. Each rabbit hole of saddle bags and fairings leading down yet another winding labyrinth of gearing mods and exhaust systems. Fortunately, there’s no shortage of ways to feed that obsession. And people like the folks here at Romney Cycles to help guide you through.

THE DOS AND DON’TS OF CUSTOMIZATION

As you’d expect, there are some to dos and don’ts to keep in mind in creating your masterpiece. Be careful mixing finishes and surfaces. Maintenance of accessories. Use safe, effective cleaners that won’t damage finishes. And, hard as it may be, don’t overdo it with the chrome. Along with some things you especially want to avoid – cupholders and faux fur anyone? Yes, there is an art to knowing when it’s just right.
