Shop Crawl // San Diego Customs
Chip Kastelnik started San Diego Customs in 2006 as a result of his constantly taking motorcycles apart and trying to improve on them to work better and go faster. A restless soul with an astute attention to detail and function, Chip will not stop until something is done not just right, but much better. It’s these attributes that have made San Diego Customs the foreknown leader in performance-oriented Harley-Davidson FXR and Dyna models. SDC has churned out amazing builds that have gained global notoriety and spawned a whole new type of go-fast while looking good Harley-Davidsons that have had a huge influence in the custom V-twin world.
