OEM ORIGIN BUILD We have found in previous experience that people can find it a daunting prospect commissioning a custom motorcycle, it really shouldn’t be. When organised and coordinated properly we feel you should enjoy the designing and conceptual stages of the bike being built as much as riding it. It is a very intricate job requiring experience in a broad spectrum of skill set which we have honed at the OEM House Of Assembley. We have put together this Origin build sheet for all those quizzical about a possible one off custom motorcycle build. And remember no money has to be laid down and no dates are set in stone until the design is signed off. Step 1 Send us over as much or as little as you like using the 4 point build idea sheet. Step 2 We will then draw up some simple concepts using the information provided Step 3 If you like what you see we can fully render the drawings and with a small commitment fee you will receive a printed copy of the proposed build and all the artwork with it. Step 4 Once everybody is happy we come up with a suitable payment scheme and once the deposit is laid down the build can begin! THE BUILD IDEA Style Find motorcycle images that the style, lines, riding position etc appeals to you. Gather as many photo/ drawings/images of motorcycles that you like the look of as a complete bike. Include any imagery that you feel you want to include or take inspiration from which we can use to integrate within the design e.g a film watched or picture seen that inspires you. DetailS Find pictures of motorcycles with certain parts or components that you like e.g a particular set of wheels or a particular fuel tank etc. Potential Donor MotorcycleS Keeping the style of motorcycle in mind, look at candidates based on how old you want the motor to look, how reliable it needs to be, the maintainability of it and the usability of it, how attainable it is. Usually we can help you with this once the first 2 steps have been taken and we have a rough idea on budget. BuDget An important part of what can be achieved with what parts are used, what donor motorcycle is bought and how much labour time is available. Nearly any style can be achieved with any donor motorcycle but some are easier to modify than others and it comes down to the level of modification that is required to reach a suitable end result BUILD LEVELS We can cater for most budgets and we find it very difficult to quote accurately without the above steps being taken. However to give you an idea of the costs we have a 4 level system as follows: level 1 level 2 £4000 - £8000 £8000 - £12000 Example is OEM Fox build Example is OEM Pup build level 3 level 4 £12000 - £15000 £15000 + Example is OEM EFI build Example is OEM Typhoon build CONCLUSION Remember that an OEM Origin build is a complete one off. Where countless hours are poured into each build regardless of the style and base motorcycle. We have found that it is important that each and every build that leaves the OEM House of Assembly is a true Old Empire Motorcycle and this is why we take so much time considering each build and whether they are suitable to be part of this very special breed of OEM motorcycles. STYLES When beginning to design a bike its important to keep in mind certain styling aspects and its true that much like an artist each builder has his own style in which most circumstances their bikes can be told apart from others. Although we believe we have our own style that we prefer to build bikes to, its not something we believe is new or innovative regarding the fundamentals of the styling but a careful blending of current and past styles already done but in a suitably different way to achieve a look that is completely distinguishable from anything else. We thought that it may be helpful to list most of the current styles of motorcycles available that we mix and match from so that you can get a better idea on what you really want within a build.
