We want you to get the most from your metric bike.
Not every bike is sized to fit every rider. The
average bike is designed for the average man. We
will make your bike fit you or fit you better. We
can change lever to grip distance for smaller hands,
lower the bike, and shorten the foot pedals, the
handle bars and risers. We have custom fit many
bikes for women riders with their comfort and safety
in mind. Customizing metrics is relatively new. We
are constantly developing new ideas to make your
metric stand out from the crowd. We pay extra
attention to the small details which will make your
bike stand out.
At AFT Customs no job is too small or too large. We
get our ideas from all areas of motorcycling:
Cruiser, Sportbike and Motocross. We are the home of
the 8” headlight. AFT Customs was the first and only
shop to put a headlight this large on a cruiser. You
help create your bike. The first step is to see what
the big picture is. We can then decide to do it a
little at a time or all at once. This is important
because you can save money on the project if
everything is planned out and in order. We work fast
and efficient. Our labor rate is a very competitive
$55 per hour. AFT Customs is a dealer for over 50
different suppliers and will ship parts anywhere at
competitive prices.
AFT Customs is operated by Jim Giuffra. Jim has been
involved with motorcycles for most of his life but
officially started working on other peoples
motorcycles in 1977 when he worked at Spinetti’s
Bike Shop in Jackson, CA. They were one of the
larges multi-line dealers in the nation. Jim has
been factory trained by Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and
Yamaha. In 1987 Jim started Amador Fine Tune where
they repair all makes of motorcycles and do custom
work. AFT Customs is a division of Amador Fine Tune.
Give us a call and let us put our expertise on your
next project.
Ron comes from a diverse background in cars, trucks, boats and motorcycles. A certified welder with huge talent in fabrication and design. He is a true craftsman.
All the girls work on the bikes in their spare time performing tasks
from assembly and engine work to detailing. This
gives them a working knowledge of our products and
creates a team attitude. They come up with great
ideas and have a lot of fun.
