thelongshoot Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hello everyone. I am thinking about buying a Triumph - either a T100 or a Thruxton - but I would really like to get some customs work done on it. Nothing too over the top, just a few changes in colour more than anything to mark it out from the crowd. Does anyone know if there is a customs scene here in Thailand? Maybe a custom shop that is well known for this kind of thing? Many thanks TLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILLIGAD Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 There is a very large custom scene but mainly geared for chopper bikes. The Triumph brand is growing here due to "import tax" remedies and there are a few Thai guys doing custom/copy parts. Most use FB to advertise.

guzzi850m2 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Try some of the Harley shops, they will know which painter to use, customs paint and stuff like that. It don't have to be a chopper and especially Triumphs are "accepted" by the HD crowd. Yes there is a huge custom scene here in Thailand, the trick is to find them and FB as suggested is a good start.

DILLIGAD Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Check out "Ride Me Mo To" of Chang Mai or Moto Trio. They both do custom Triumph bits. Edited August 11, 2015 by DILLIGAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiguzzi Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Check these guys out: http://www.halfcastecreations.com/ Call me old school (skool), a luddite, or whatever, but a lot of these modern custom shops building stuff with their own "brand name" and moody quality photography etc, i just don't get it. Sorry. I mean, building street/cafe style bikes with 16" wheels shod with those old Firestone square profile tyres, that don't go round corners, are lethal in the wet, and only should be on something with 3 wheels, ie a sidecar or a 40's Knucklehead restoration. And a CX 500? As i said, sorry, i just don't get it. The Kawa/BSA aint bad, but they are a good base to start off with already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sure Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Not really my taste either but looks like they have the skills to customise to an owner's taste. Kind of wished I'd looked into the custom shops before selling my W, miss that bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is all about the style, they don't build them for going around corners or story distance braking Go on the Thai classified anytime and see nearly new bikes with only a couple of thousand km on em and all the mods you can think off... Is gotta be an image thing, they like to look cool... There's a gang of young guys who gang out in phayoyothin at the 24hr McDonald's with some seriously nice superbikes too and same for the local Starbucks on a Sunday, thong lor too... A big bike is not just transport in Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
