We just got back from the Cinci V-Twin show where we debuted our new 300mm Warrior in the Air-fx booth. The response was great and the bike was well recieved by everyone in the V-twin sector. This starts a very busy year for us and we will be getting out this year to see everyone. Keep checking out the site for dates and locations on the events page. We also will be working on some new products for the year including new air ride fittments and some new builder end caps for you exhaust builders out there and a retro air cleaner to match.

Updates
Sorry for the delay in updates for over a year. We have been growing and moving forward in progress as you can see if you've looked at recent photos. We took a year off traveling and working toward new bikes and products. We've hired several new techs for our Service Department. Our new techs have come from motorcycle dealerships so they have a lot of knowledge and experience working on bikes. We have furthered our Fab Shop by offering parts from our existing bikes and some new stuff that will be on our new Road Star 300mm right side drive and our new Warrior 300mm. One of our newest parts is the Air Ride System which we now offer for all of the Stars and the Victory Check it out on the Parts Page. We have a new license plate mount that is a horizontal mount that adapts to Baron's mounting arm.
Some of the other new products we are working on are new pipes for the Yamaha Road Stars and Kawasaki Vulcans and our own line of backrests starting out with one for the Suzuki C50. Pictures to be posted soon on the Parts page for all of these projects. One of the newest projects we are involved in is a 2005 Road King with fender and saddle bag extension, new pipes, custom handlebars, custom paint job that will require full disassembly of motorcycle to paint the frame to match. The bike is a tribute to one of our good friends that lost his young son recently. Check back for photos as we will be posting them at different stages in this project. We also have a VTX 1800 that we have installed a wide tire kit, custom rims and custom rear Honda Neo Fender that was split and widened 2 inches with hidden strut mounts. Insight Customs is proud to announce we are now offering 3D machining capabilities and waterjetting services. |

KICKING ASS!!!!!!!!!!
Insight Customs has just completed two new bikes that will be in V-Twin soon. The first is a pro street hot rod and the second is a retro bobbed project that everyone thought couldn't be done. We will introduce two new frame styles by the end of the year and will have our new shop project on display at major events in 2007. We have hired new blood to help us continue to grow and offer you the best in customer service. We do not want to be the biggest on the market, just be the ones that treat you with a fair shake and offer you the best products we can. |

Sorry for the lack of news updates
First off thanks to everyone we met last year while we were out on the road. We loved hanging with everyone and working on your bikes at the select events. We have scaled down our road trips this year to focus on the growth of our shop. We have grown faster then we could have ever hoped and owe that to our great clients. We build and work on bikes that are to ment to be rode and rode hard. We are not a boutique shop, we build bikes that work and use only the best products on them. Our made to order custom bar bussiness has grown and we have some new styles that are in the parts pages and a few that will be there soon. Keep your eyes on the new stuff pages we will be updating that soon. Well thanks again for 05 and look forward to seeing everyone in 06. |

Retail store and new projects
We have finally started construction of our retail store and by mid Nov. we will be open again for regular business hours. We thank all of you who understood the busy schedule we had this season and look forward to filling all your custom needs in the future. All of our retail stuff will be available online also. We will release all the brands we will be carring soon so stay tuned. We have contacted a well known aftermarket company on making our first 300mm style frame and this should be done within a couple weeks. Sorry but were keeping this one undercover until it's done but it will be worth the wait. We are also working on an V star 1100 project that will have a springer front end with a 21in tire and feature a paint job done by Airea 5150. We are excited to have Airea 5150 working with us and feel we can step up our bikes a couple of notches with thier outstanding paint jobs. Call us for a paint quote today!! |

We're Back!!!
Once again sorry for the lack of updates. We were on the road for 8 weeks and it's been nuts. A short summary for the 8 weeks is as follows: Spent some time with the Easyriders Bike show tour and hung with some great builders like our friends from Scooter Shooterz and also Ron Finch,Kendall Johnson and Billy Lane.We did a show in Chicago (Chicago Supercycle Show) hung with the SS crew again and met with Jason & Joe Martin and Russel Mitchell and took home a best in class 1st Place from the bike show. We attended the dealer expo in Indianapolis and met up with Matt Hotch, Jesse Rooke and Roland Sands. Watch for the great new products coming out this year from some people you would never guess made metric parts. We crossed over into being a vendor at some shows and the response was great. We introduced some of the new parts we have for '05 including 7 new handlebar designs. Later this year we will introduce our own line of frames for the Roadstar motor. One will be a Highneck Chopper and the other a long & low drag bike style. We're also working on a small bike platform for those who ride the smaller displacement bikes. We have taken on new vendors like Hallcraft rims, Custom Dynamics (for all lighting needs), Sha-Sha Shoes,Thrill Ride Clothing, Supreme Legends USA just to name a few. We're growing so that means we got to move into a bigger space so check back for the location of our new store comming soon. Thanks for the support and hang in there with us you won't be Disapointed. |

Sorry for the delay in updates
Sorry for the lack of updates. We have been busy and we changed our computer system over and had to reload the website builder. The GUT-YA bike has been on tour lately with the Easyriders tour and some local Indiana and Illinois shows and I must tell you guys to get your bikes out to these shows, we are the only one or one of a few metrics at these shows.Our handlebar biz has taken off and soon you might pull up next to someone with a set of our bars. We have also taken on the new Thunderbike frame kits for both the Roadstar and Harley brand motors. As soon as the foregien money exchange evens out a bit we will order one of each and start them as shop roller projects and post them on the site and take them out to shows. They will feature 300mm tires and blend TB and Insight products. We also have new Insight t-shirts that will be on the stuff page next week that feature the new Insight shop logo and the new Devil girl print. We still haven't done the v-twin shoot yet and we are looking at that to be done soon. Well thats it for now any ? just write or call. |

Shop Plans
We are going to construct a 2000 sq ft building on some property we own already. This will house all services minus cnc work. We are hoping to be in by the winter in order to have some room to spread out and create some great custom bikes. The Gut-Ya Roadstar has been picked for V-Twin magizine and will be shot by Michael Farabaugh in August. |

We are sorry for the delay in the making of our parts we had to change machine shops due to past dealings and will start up soon due to the shop is currently involved with a Great Biker Build Off episode.We are going to offer a pre-sale list on the parts so if your interested contact us and also we can do special one off parts for your bike contact us for more info. We are expanding the list of parts to include: levers(2 styles) and shift linkages(10 styles), you'll see pictures soon on the parts page. Most of all the Gut-Ya Roadstar is done and ready for viewing in the projects section of the site. It has already won a first place at the Regional Streeters Rod and Custom show, so we think it's off to a good start. The bike is going in for a shoot for V-Twin and we'll keep you posted on that.
