Who builds it
Rob Rickli
Fab work is Rob's specialty, but he handles everything it takes to build a complete motorcycle, from the frame on the jig to the final bolt.
Every job goes through the same hands. You talk to the person doing the welding, and you get progress photos along the way.
Last Stop Customs works out of a barn shop in Waterdown with room for bikes, cars and full chassis work.

Two and a half minutes in the shop with Rob: marking out sheet metal, shaping a tank, welding it up and fitting it to the bike.
Before you call
FAQ
Can I bring my own parts?
Yes. Or we can order parts for you once you've approved them.
How long until you can start?
The current wait to start a new job is about two weeks.
Can I visit the shop?
Shop visits are by appointment only.
Will I see progress?
You'll get progress photos throughout the build.
Do you ship parts?
Yes, we ship parts to customers outside the area.
What's the warranty?
Lifetime warranty on frame work and structural welds. Other work depends on the job. Welded-on tabs on custom bikes can fail from vibration, so we'll talk through that before we build.
What if I leave my bike after it's done?
Storage fees are worked out between you and the shop when the job is finished.
Do you rebuild engines?
No. We pull and reinstall engines as part of a build, but rebuilds go to an engine shop.
