Great service. Fixed only what was wrong with my front brake without having to tear it apart and upsell me in additional parts and service. Highly recommend. read more

Absolutely top-notch service. The owner Butch clearly knows motorcycles inside and out, and takes the time to explain everything without any pressure or upselling. The work was done on time, priced fairly, and my bike rides better than it has in years. You can tell they genuinely care about riders and their machines. This is definitely the go-to shop read more

Honest guys. Great work. Shop is very well maintained, bikes are beautiful and well taken care of. Felt like home.

I bought an old police Harley back around 2000. I took it Butch once since I've had it. I just took it back after all these years brakes, rear tire, servicing tuneup. This is a real motorcycle shop the price was a huge savings over the dealer. Professional work and very fast it was done in just a couple days. Also extra work was done to it at no charge and it looks like it got a full detail when I picked it up. Anyway I can't say enough. There are a ton of killer aftermarket parts for the bike can't wait to get back there soon. Great people, honest hard-working Americans thanks Butch and the team. read more

Butches Custom Cycles - 1997 RoadKing. - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - Simi Valley, California

You go into any Custom Harley Shops or a dealer for mechanical issues and most of the time you'd bring your own grease. They are all going to or try to get over on you, or so I thought. Then I went in to Butch's and was reminded of my Dad's shop. Great vibe & good people. Not full of themselves or too good to talk to you. Never been there B4 but felt like one of the fellas. Gave me advise and a fix that saved me money. If you have a bike or need a bike , I highly recommend going in to see Butch. Even let my kid pose with the bikes. read more

Butches Custom Cycles - My kid loves that bike! - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - Simi Valley, California

I dropped my 2021 Low Rider S off at Butch's. I was able to get some parts from a friend but didn't have the knowledge to put them on with confidence. Butch was completely up front and went over anything that could potentially be a challenge. This is my first bike so I appreciated the extra time he took to walk me thru every little thing that was going to be done. Butch had to order some extra parts that were needed to get the job done. He also had options to save some me some money, which was also greatly appreciated! Stand up Guy and a great shop. I don't live in the area but if I am ever up this way again he is me go to guy. Thanks Butch!! read more

Great Guy and Great Shop! Butch and his shop is everything you want in a repair shop. Personal one on one, knowledge, care, and love for the product. I can't say enough about my experience I went in for a simple suspension change and after talking with Butch and realizing we were both on the same page. I had to start the modifying. I first priced it at Simi Harley and Butch was half the price and with Butch you know who works on your bike. That matters to me. You can't go wrong with Butch working on your bike and he has a cool shop. If there was a bar next door I'd never leave. Take your bike to Butch! That's it. read more

Butches Custom Cycles - My bike saying F*ck to Chrome at Butch's. - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - Simi Valley, California

I met Butch about five years back from a mutual friend. I took my sportster in to him had him do a bunch of work to it and never had an issue. He is by far the best mechanic around honest, fair and real. I recommend all my friends to Butch. About two years back I bought a 2010 street glide and my first service I took to Butch not to the dealer. read more

Took my old iron head to butch with a charging issue, butch was awesome and super helpful, we went over the options and came up with a great solution that didn't hit me in the pockets hard. Like most I prefer to all my own work on my bike, but for the hard stuff I'll take it to butch. read more

Again thanks guys for getting me on the road. read more

Great Shop, will always be there! Thanks for getting me in and out and even cleaning my bike! Butch always goes over and above! read more

This is why I like this shop, and why I like Butch... Honesty, experience, knowledge and again HONESTY. Took my Street Glide in as there has been this ongoing issue with hesitation, and this is where honesty, knowledge and experience comes in. He had a firm grasp of what the issue was, didn't BS me, didn't up sell me on what I didn't need... just 100% real, and real is what I like. Another dealership I have been going to prior to getting this bike wanted to throw parts and hope at it; parts and hope can get real expensive real quick when you do not have an idea of the endgame. The DEALERSHIP who works on these, has my VIN even recommended an IAC Valve... was not aware the 2011 Street Glide 103 had a IAC Valve, but I have been incorrect a few times in life. When it all boils down, if it costs me the same in the end, but have an idea up front , I will hands down always go with the honest one, even if some additional parts are needed in the end (I was a mechanic, trust me when I say rarely can anyone say with 100% certainty that it will not need something else, and I am cool with that, too). So, if you are looking for an honest shop, real and local people who know their stuff, go to Butch's - HANDS DOWN!!! read more

I have a 2012 Ultra Classic and it has been to Butches Custom Cycles a couple of times for little upgrades every time it is straight forward and no B.S.! Pricing is always fair and work is always spot on! I highly recommend his shop! read more

I recently saw a review of this shop and felt I had to share my experience . I have had the same Harley Sportster for 21 years, it has been my daily rider, my head clearer, my favorite place, my confidant and my constant companion for every one of those years. One morning I was headed out of Simi Valley, got about halfway up the hill into the Valley when my bike made a horrible "clunk" and died. I had it brought home, and started tearing the bike down, finding nothing...I then contacted Butch. His first suggestion was to load the bike into my truck and bring it to him so he could have a quick look and listen. I did, he did and he made a few suggestions and would not take a dime for his time. I followed his suggestions and it was to no avail. I brought the bike back, we discussed options and he, being very honest, told me he would not recommend repairing a 20 year old bike, that he would have to charge me to even look at it further as he would have to start tearing it apart. He was very clear about his suggestions, very clear about cost and very clear that this could cost close to running over to Harley and buying a new Sporty. He found the problem within a few days of my dropping the bike, and considering how busy his shop always is, I was shocked at the speed in which he was able to tear the bike down. We were looking at a shattered piston, a bent piston arm, and a bent valve. The cases would need to be split open to remove all debris and he would have to find the cause of the problem...what made the arm bend? We discussed cost, parts, labor, what would have to be done to split the cases, where he had to send it, what was going on with the heads. He was very detailed in what he needed to do and the how the time frame depended on me and my ability to pay. As anyone dealing with the motorcycle industry can tell you, people often have a warped sense of what is happening, what things will cost and how the $200 job becomes a $2000 dollar job by requesting you add this and that. Time is money, parts cost money, and he reminded me of this each time I suggested we "just do this too". When he turned the bike over to me, he was clear about how to break it in, how to seat the rings, what to do and not to do on what was basically a new engine. I followed his instructions closer than I have any ever given me before or since. In the end, the bike was repaired for the cost quoted, within the time quoted and has had over 50,000 miles put on it in the three years since Butch repaired it without incident other than worn tires and chains. All I can say about Butch's Custom Cycles and Butch as a person is he and his shop exemplify honesty, integrity, fairness, quality and openness. I have dealt with Butch and his shop exclusively since he rebuilt my bike, have been present when he has been talking to other customers and have found the communication about what was going to happen and what it would cost to be always clear and brought up in the beginning. I cannot recommend this shop enough, the honesty, integrity, knowledge and quality of work is unsurpassed. read more

Update - We finally had the engine noise properly diagnosed and repaired on our Sportster. It was simply a loose torque compensator nut and primary chain causing the problem. There was also a loose exhaust heat shield. The actual repair took only 3 hours and the bike is perfect. Unfortunately Butch's approach to this simple problem, which involved removing the heads and cylinders was completely unnecessary and we now have a cylinder base gasket leak from where he did a shoddy job reassembling everything. Sucks to be us. Out $1400 bucks for nothing... read more

Took my 2018 HD Breakout to Butch to get service done, along with a few upgrades I wanted to do. Butch was fair, honest, and not out to RIP people off like HD is. If you are looking for a shop to work on your HD, Indian, or Custom bike, I highly recommend checking out Butch's Custom Cycles. I will never go anywhere else. Thanks Butch for everything! read more

Recently I took my 2005 HD with 124cc motor to Butch for a motor problem, all of a sudden it started to back fire on deceleration, and not running smoothly. After Butch checked it out he gave me an estimate that sounded very reasonable for what had to be done, I gave him the go ahead. After a slight delay in being able to find the proper part and having it delivered, my Bike was up and running better than ever, not only did he repair it properly he had his guy's detail it. It actually looked better when I picked it up than when I dropped it off to him. It even turned out to be less then the estimate. I would highly recommend Butch's shop for any and all repair's needed. Thanks again Butch. Denny M. read more

I had a throttle cable break on me today and went to Butches to see if he had one in stock. Forgot a piece that went with the cable and wasn't sure what was the correct one for my custom pro street. Butch was so cool! He said take these and see what works. He didn't ask for any cash or deposit. How many shops would do that today? Butches Custom Cycles is the best! Thanks, Wood read more
