DG Custom Cycle started the way most good shops do, with a small workspace, a stack of HD parts, and a refusal to do mediocre work. Decades later, the answer to “how should this bike feel?” still drives every decision we make.
We started small: one stall, one set of tools, and a stubborn idea that Harleys should be serviced the way the rider would do it themselves if they had the time and the tools. Word got out. Bikes started rolling in. Friends sent friends. We added a dyno, more lifts, and the right Harley-Davidson tooling to do the job right.
The shop has grown, but the philosophy hasn’t moved an inch. Every bike on the lift is the most important bike in the shop. Every rider gets a straight answer. Every Harley that leaves runs the way we’d want ours to run.
We don’t pretend to be a generalist shop. We specialize in HD, every model and every platform, because doing one thing well beats doing ten things average.
We tell you what your bike needs and what it doesn’t. Every performance job leaves with a printed dyno sheet. No fluff, no upsell.
We hit the deadlines we commit to, and when something needs more time to be right, we make the call before it costs you twice.
Every wrench in this shop rides Harleys. The work that leaves here is the work we’d want done on our own bikes.
Four wrenches, decades of combined HD experience. The same people who quote the work do the work, no service writers, no middlemen.
