01 / Cairngorm Custom Motorbikes Ltd
Built right.
Built once.
Built in Scotland.
A DVSA-legal motorcycle workshop run by a time-served mechanic and qualified mechanical engineer. Custom one-off builds, ground-up restorations, and the unglamorous work, servicing, diagnostics, MOT prep, done properly.
02 / What we do
Workshop services, from a 50,000-mile service to a one-off build.
Everything goes through the same workshop, run by the same hands. No subcontracted bench work, no part-timers turning spanners while you're not looking.
01 / BUILDS
Custom one-off builds
Your ideas and dreams, taken as far as reality and the law allow. From concept sketch to handover, with a clear scope at every stage.
