GENERAL FABRICATION

We don’t limit ourselves to just custom motorcycles; if you need something built that isn’t readily available, we can do it. Years of working in challenging environments around the world has created a CAN-DO mentality, and a level of creativity and inventiveness that allows us to take on jobs others would pass on. 

DESIGN SERVICES

We’ll take the back of an envelope sketch and create your vision, with our unique expertise and experience to create a high quality finished product. Whether that’s a complete motorcycle or a simple widget, we are ready to tackle anything. 

REPAIR & SERVICE

SIN Motolabs is a fully functional motorcycle repair & service shop, capable of handling all marques and vintages. From classic Hondas to modern Ducatis we can keep your motorcycle in perfect condition. Oil changes to full engine rebuilds; there isn’t anything we won’t work on.

ANODIZING

We have anodizing capabilities at SIN motolabs. Primarily for small batches of aluminum components, our 25 gallon anodizing tank can take pieces up to maximum surface area of 160 in². We have three color options in stock: black, red, and gold. Other color options are available on request.

TIG WELDING

High performance TIG welding of all types of metals, from the thinnest sheet metal to heavy gauge structural beams. We have a custom built Strong Hand BuildPro welding table which allows us to build complex motorcycle frames as well as simple fabrication projects to a tolerance of 0.012”/3ft.

CNC MACHINING

We run Fusion 360 as our preferred CADCAM software, and have a Tormach 770 CNC Mill which can handle parts up to 14” x 7.5” x 13.25” in a variety of media. If you have an idea for something, we can model it, optimize the tool paths, and create a one-off custom part. Or make a hundred more of them.

METAL SHAPING

We have a fabulous English wheel and can form complex curves up to 40” wide. That, and a 30” sheet metal brake and shear, means we can handle simple fabrication to elaborate bodywork construction. Custom aluminum tanks are a speciality.

LASER CUTTING

Just recently added to the labs is a small bed (12" x 8") 40W CO₂ laser cutting machine. Capable of cutting paper, cardboard, thin plywood, and sheet acrylic to an accuracy of 0.001". It also can be used to etch previously anodized aluminum parts.

It all started with a neglected 1981 Suzuki GS450. Over the course of a cold and dark Pacific Northwest winter, I took this bike apart and rebuilt it piece by piece. From that experience I knew that not only was I a motorcyclist, but one that would forever want to understand the intricacies of these vehicles. Initially self taught then gaining valuable professional experience as a full-time motorcycle mechanic, I took all that wonderful knowledge, my unique ability to create beautiful things, and applied both to building fabulous motorcycles. Thus SIN Motolabs was born.​
