WE ARE LOWBROW CUSTOMS
At Lowbrow Customs, we work hard to supply our fellow motorcycle enthusiasts with cool parts from small shops all around the world. Since 2004, we are constantly innovating and building, creating brand new parts and accessories and getting them onto bikes, out onto the road. We work on and build (and race!) our own motorcycles. This makes it easy for us know the parts and information you need.
We are a family run, tight-knit crew, and all of us here take pride in doing things right. We operate on the simple idea that if we treat customers how we want to be treated, good things will follow. Stocking cool and quality parts, shipping out super fast and providing great motorcycle tech support is what our company is built on. We are very thankful to each and every one of our customers; it's why we get to do what we love every day! Thank you!

Lead Motorcycle Technician
Favorite Beer: Tecate in a can with lime squeezed on the rim
Hobbies: Are you kidding me that would be buying vintage Triumphs and bringing them back from the dead. Oh, I also like to shoot guns but bullets are kind of expensive these days.

Jason 'Longhair' G.

Favorite Concert Of All Time: I would have to say that was 'The Big 4' show at Yankee Stadium in 2011 - Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth & Anthrax all in one show, one band after another! Seeing 3 Metallica shows in Mexico City, in 2017 was also a pretty amazing experience!
Hobbies: Traveling as much as I can, collecting music/metal memorabilia, concert photography, following Cleveland sports, spending time with my nephew and niece.
Wanted: Old Metallica items from 1982-1986, especially if they are Cleveland related.
Dove

Favorite Board Game: Scene It
Least Favorite Disney Character: I love all Disney, but I guess my least favorite would be...Lady and the Tramp.
Hobbies: My hobbies are doing Theatre, comedies and musicals, and writing and directing sketch comedy.
Photographer / Videographer
If You Could Be An Animal?: I'd probably want be some type of bird. I feel like flying above the world by your own strength would be the coolest feeling ever. Plus the sole fact you could roam the world, birds are like gypsies and are free to go where ever they please.
Hobbies: I love to create, if it is an artistic outlet I'm all about it. From playing my guitar to painting, it's just nice to create something from nothing.
Clayton D.

Favorite Cartoon: Woody Woodpecker. I like that he never had teeth until he went to bite someone.
Hobbies: I like restoring old useless antiques and eating Mexican food.
Charlotte M.
Customer Service
Some personal quirks: I eat the folded chips first, have a lip balm in every room and say 'totally fab' a lot!
Hobbies: I'm an artist...so many mediums, so little time! Creating hand-spun art yarns from raw wool/alpaca fleece is my passion. Jet engine dragsters thrill me and deep base rhythms rock me. Nature is my go-to for grounding, large bodies of water recharge the soul...everything in nature is awe-inspiring!
Kevin R.
Warehouse Lead
Hobbies: I love collecting old metal fans and radios from the 40's and 50's. I love to cook and worked as a sous chef for 5 years. I'm big into sports, especially football and baseball.
Something I think is crazy: More than 80% of the Earth's oceans have never been mapped or explored by man. The first person to ever be pulled over for speeding was going a whopping 8 miles per hour.
Jacob L.
Warehouse Associate
Hobbies: Playing video games and tabletop role playing games with friends. I like finding interesting and uncommon bits of history. I also enjoy cooking and culinary arts.
If I could be any animal: A Red Panda.
Shane S.
Warehouse Associate
Is a hot dog a sandwich?: No. A sandwich is not a hot dog. Once you start talking about sandwiches, you've already forgotten we were talking about hot dogs.
Hobbies: Two of my biggest hobbies outside of work are PC video games and disc golf.
Jeff W.
Customer & Marketing Coordinator
Hobbies: Aside from long walks on the beach...I like riding bikes, both motorized and the pedal kind. I like music, can't play a thing, but I go to as many concerts as I can, the louder and faster the better.
If you could only eat two foods for the rest of your life: Pizza of course, what other dish has a built-in plate that you don't have to wash? That and anything Mexican or Thai, well pretty much any food, I'm an all inclusive eater.
Kyle S.
Customer Service / Motorcycle Technician
Favorite Indoor Activity: To make rainy or unpredictable weather more enjoyable, I like to start new projects, rebuild classic motorcycles, learn skills like TIG welding and machining & spend time wrenching on my bike. When not riding, I take pleasure in working on vintage machines and practicing analog print-making in my darkroom.
Favorite Outdoor Activity: Snowboarding and motorcycle riding are my passions, and I relish the adventure of riding to new destinations. Who knows where I'll be next?
Nick H.

Hobbies / Interests: I am really into anything with a motor. I am also into music, love taking my motorcycle out and hitting the curvy roads!! When my body doesn’t hurt, I enjoy bmx and a little bit of skateboarding
Would you rather have a hamster-sized dog or a dog-sized hamster? Probably a dog sized hamster... just think about that!!

Below are some of the records set (not all still standing, though many are) by what we collectively refer to as 'Team Lowbrow'. Check back soon for updates, because we frequently break records :)
