One of the most intriguing topics among two-wheel enthusiasts is how much it costs to customize a motorcycle. At Lord Drake Kustoms, with years of experience in motorcycle customization in Spain and internationally, we can say that the price depends on many factors: from the base motorcycle to the chosen style and level of customization.
Price to customize a motorcycle
The cost of customizing a motorcycle can range from around 3,000 euros to figures determined only by the client’s budget. For an acceptable level of transformation with quality finishes, the typical investment is between 5,000 and 15,000 euros (excluding the motorcycle).
When it comes to custom motorcycles for exhibition or show bikes, there’s no limit: we’re talking about exclusive projects with handcrafted details, custom paint, and extreme modifications that can far exceed these figures.
Factors that determine the price of customizing a motorcycle
- Base motorcycle make and model: Not all motorcycles allow the same level of customization.
- Custom style: Café Racer, Bobber, Scrambler, Brat… each style requires specific parts and work.
- Level of customization: From cosmetic modifications to complete projects with modified chassis and custom parts.
- Homologation: Some modifications require homologation, which adds cost.
- Quality of materials and finishes: Chrome, fiberglass, handcrafted upholstery, or baked-on paint can make a difference in your budget.
Harleys: the queens of custom
If there’s one model that can handle virtually any type of transformation, it’s the Harley-Davidson. Its mechanics, robustness, and design make it perfect for high-budget projects.
However, there are models in which it is not worth investing large sums, either due to technical limitations or their market value.
