Custom Harley Builders
British Columbia

Squamish, BC · Sea to Sky Corridor

Ground-up Harley-Davidson and chopper builds from one of BC's only dedicated custom Harley shops. Hand-fabricated frames, one-off paint and full mechanical. Bikes accepted from anywhere in Canada.

BC's Custom Harley Builder

The custom Harley builder scene in British Columbia has a problem. Most shops calling themselves "custom" are dealers installing bolt-on parts from a catalog. That is not custom work. That is accessory installation.

Syndicate Speed Shop in Squamish, BC exists to fill that gap. We are an independent Harley shop that builds one-off motorcycles from the ground up. Custom motorcycle fabrication, original paint, V-twin custom builds. Every bike that leaves this shop is a true original, built entirely by hand in our Sea to Sky corridor shop.

Whether you are looking for a ground-up chopper build, a west coast chopper style bobber, bagger customization or a full custom paint job, this is the shop. We work exclusively on Harley-Davidson and V-twin platforms, and that singular focus is what separates the work.

Harley-Davidson Customization Services

Four core services. Every one of them done in-house at our Squamish, BC shop. No outsourcing, no shortcuts.

Why Squamish and the Sea to Sky Corridor

There is a reason the BC motorcycle community gravitates toward the Sea to Sky corridor. The riding is unmatched. Highway 99 from Vancouver to Whistler is one of the best motorcycle roads in western Canada, and Squamish sits right in the middle of it.

Building custom bikes in a place like this matters. The Canadian custom bike scene has always been spread thin across the country, but British Columbia, and the Sea to Sky corridor in particular, has become a hub for riders who care about the craft. The west coast chopper style that comes out of BC blends Pacific Northwest attitude with old-school fabrication techniques.

Syndicate Speed Shop chose Squamish for a reason. Close enough to Vancouver for riders across the Lower Mainland to visit, far enough from the city to focus on the work. When you are building a chopper or doing a Vancouver custom motorcycle project, this is the environment that produces the best results.

Motorcycle Shipping Across Canada

You do not need to live in BC to get your bike built here. Motorcycle shipping in Canada is straightforward, and we work with freight companies that specialize in crated motorcycle transport. Riders from Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Maritimes have shipped bikes to our Squamish shop for custom work.

Ship your bike to Squamish, BC. We build it. We ship it back. Riders across Canada trust Syndicate Speed Shop with their Harley-Davidson and V-twin custom builds because reputation matters more than proximity. Every custom motorcycle consultation starts with a conversation about what you want, regardless of where you live.
