custom shop - Kustom Culture project

We first saw the KC rollers at the V-Twin Expo in 2004 and knew that if we ever built a bike, this was going to be it.  Classic lines, lots of options, and well made.  Check back for updates.

Since we are primarily a lighting company, we thought it would be interesting to use period correct lighting for a true old school look.  

Headlight -made by Electroline.  This was a 2200 series used on 1930's era LaFrance Fire engines.  Stamped art-deco housing.
Taillight - manufactured by Teleoptic of Racine, WI.  A very rare accessory light dating from the late 30's/early 40's.  Glass lenses, gorgeous styling.
Front marker lights - product of Hella.  A 1950's era light used on BMW motorcycles and VW's.  Integrated mirror.  These are the big mirror version...very rare.  Stamping on body matches headlight.
