Forged For The
American V-Twin
Culture
For more than two decades, we've built the hardware that keeps Harley-style custom bikes rolling — Springer front ends, ape hanger bars, sissy bars and every frame part in between. Owned factory. OEM & ODM ready. No shortcuts.

Two Decades In
The V-Twin Trade
Apes Technology Co., Ltd. was founded on a simple belief: American big-inch motorcycle culture deserves hardware that's built the right way. From the very first Springer front end that left our shop, we've stayed obsessed with one thing — making retro custom parts that ride as hard as they look.
Over the past 20+ years, Apes / Motoirons has grown into a dedicated manufacturer of Harley-style custom components: front ends, handlebars, sissy bars, frames, fenders and beyond. We serve custom bike builders, distributors and OEM brand partners across the US, Europe, Australia and Southeast Asia.
Our team lives and breathes bobber, chopper and old-school retro builds. Every welded seam, every geometry angle, every finish is judged against one question — would we bolt this onto our own bike?

Inside The Factory
Craft 01
Weld Integrity
Every Springer joint is welded and stress-checked to hold up under real riding loads — no cosmetic-only builds.
Craft 02
Geometry Control
Rake, trail and offset are held to strict tolerances so front ends bolt on straight and handle predictably.
Craft 03
Structural Fabrication
Frames, sissy bars and fork tubes — we handle the load-bearing hardware that other shops don't want to touch.
People Who
Ride What They Build
Our in-house R&D and prototyping crew keeps pace with the fast-moving retro custom scene. From a client sketch to a working sample — drawings get reviewed, tolerances get set, and a prototype ships out for real-world fitment.
New models drop constantly. We work directly with custom bike builders, brand product managers and buyers to interpret rough sketches, refine geometry and turn ideas into ride-ready hardware.

Keeping The Retro
Flame Alive
American V-Twin custom culture isn't a trend — it's a lineage. From the first Springer front ends of the '40s to the bobbers and choppers riding out of shops today, every generation adds its own layer.
Our mission is simple: keep making the hardware that lets that culture keep rolling. Retro geometry, vintage silhouettes, honest welds — built to the standards of the people who actually ride them.
Every fork, bar, sissy bar and frame we ship carries that respect for the tradition. That's the standard. That's Apes / Motoirons.
