Everything the bike
needs, in one shop.
Hard Core Customs services all American V-Twins and stocks the parts and accessories to go with it. If it is on your list, it is on this list.
-
01
Repair services
Diagnostics and repairs on American V-Twin motorcycles, from a small fix to a job that keeps the bike off the road until it is right.
-
02
Motorcycle maintenance
Routine service that keeps the bike running the way it should, scheduled around your riding season instead of the other way around.
-
03
Accessories and parts
The parts and accessories that change how the bike looks and rides. Come in and talk through what fits your bike and your budget.
-
04
Custom paint
The paint is the first thing anyone notices. Colour matching, pinstriping, flame work and full graphics, done in house.
-
05
Clothing and leather
Riding gear, clothing and leather on the shelf, so you can walk out with the parts and the jacket in the same trip.
Prices and turnaround depend on the bike, so the shop quotes each job after looking at it. Call (816) 468-0088
The paint is the part
people remember.
Colour matching, pinstriping, flames, full graphics. If you can imagine it, the shop can spray it.








“We can match any colour, factory or custom, and our technicians get the pinstriping exactly the way you want it.”
The shop's own words on custom paint
Every photo here
is off their site.
Twenty of them, pulled out of a gallery that was three clicks deep on a 2016 website. Tap any photo to go full size.
A shop with a bar
on the other side.
Kevin and Kathy Burns kept hearing the same thing from customers: nowhere within walking distance to eat while the bike was in the bay. So they built one, next door, and opened it on October 30.
“We want the girls at City Hall to come down and feel as comfortable as a big fat biker.”
Kevin Burns, co-owner, to the Kansas City Star
The room is 2,600 square feet of bright red and diamond plate, with a pool table, a Harley-Davidson pinball machine and dart boards. There is a separate smoking patio called the Burn Pit, live music, sport on the TVs, and a beer list that keeps people there after the food is gone.
“Their turkey melt is so good. But I love their French dip and potato salad too.”
Elizabeth Berutti, Google review
“Their salads are amazing. You won't be left hungry, that's for sure.”
Angie Pike, Google review
