BUILDS

 

 
 

YOUR DEAM | OUR SPEC

Every build begins with a dream. Together, we’ll distill that dream, and create a build specification to define the intended purpose, the body type, suspension system, wheels, options. finishes, coating and accessories.

QUOTATION | confirmation | DEPOSIT

Once a build spec has been agreed on, I’ll work with LBS-NL and my suppliers to create a quotation for your review. Final change requests will be incorporated. You’ll then be asked to sign-off on the spec and quotation.

To confirm the order, a 50% deposit will be requested. On receipt, design and fabrication will commence.

 

MOTORCYCLE DELIVERY

You may deliver your “tug” in person. If you’d prefer to ship your bike, I can arrange for safe shipment by a trusted transporter in an enclosed trailer. You must be the owner, no lienholders. Your bike must be titled, insured and have current registration.

Should service or repairs be required, subject to your approval, I can arrange to have performed at a local BMW Motorrad dealership.
