1958 Francis Barnett
Here’s a 1958 Francis Barnett British Motorcycle with racing Heritage.
A returning customer approached us about restoring this beauty of a bike, and we couldn’t say no!
We stripped it down to every nut and bolt and brought it back in stunning fashion after six months of love and care.
There was lost of fabrication on this bike, as some parts were missing on arrival.
Custom exhaust, Fender Mounts, Seat to name a few, and tons of little touches throughout the bike.
It now resides as a work of art in his Studio in Venice, CA.
