Custom Motorcycle Paint & Harley-Davidson Service by Combs Custom Cycle

Dear Rick and Lori,

I just wanted to let you know again how thrilled I am with the work you did on my 2002 Wide Glide. The Paint and workmanship on the tank and fenders is outstanding! I am proud to ride my bike again!

As a woman rider, it is so fun to pull up next to some dude that tells me I have a sweet ride. Thanks for that! :)

I also want you to know that I feel that you both went above and beyond my expectations when it comes to customer service. The second time I walked in your doors, you guys called me by name and that really left a lasting impression on me. I love the personal service that you guys provide. Keep up the great work, I will definitely be back - even if it is just to tell you both Hello!

Rick, Lori, and myself, go back about 20 years. My FXR Custom was one of the first built by Combs. It won first place in the first show we placed it in. I still ride the heck out of it. The friendship and trust we have cannot be compared.

Rick and Lori Combs built my dream bike. A Chopper that I had drawn on a Big Chief note pad back in the Third Grade. Highly influenced by my older brother, I drew picture after picture of a "Captain America" style bike. This year after riding back from Sturgis, I decided to make the dream a reality. Rick and Lori walked me through step by step, part by part, a three month build that ended with the bike of my dreams. I'm truly impressed with Rick's attention to detail, and the paint job, well, the bike just looks awesome. Rick and Lori were great to work with, honest and dependable. Rick always asked for my opinion, gave his thoughts, thus giving the best outcome possible. My Combs Custom not only looks great but performs as well. I own a Sucker Punch Sally's Old School Bobber, a 100th Anv. H.D. Fatboy, and now to complete my collection, a COMBS CUSTOM CYCLE... I think my Great Grandfather, who had a 1914 Harley-Davidson would be proud.

Rick and Lori,

Just wanted to drop you a note about how happy I am with the "Combs" experience! The artwork, painting, and above all the personal service was fantastic! Everyone who looks at my bike has to stand and observe the detail as it's incredible! I am so happy my only complaint is that I should have had the work done sooner!

Thanks so much,

Growing up in Lawrence and being a fanatic Jayhawk fan has given me a lot of pride over the years. Like many Jayhawk fans, I have rooms, walls and boxes full of Jayhawk memorabilia, but most of it wasn’t unique to what everyone else had. I wanted something different, something spectacular, something no one else could match. I wanted a nostalgic custom Harley, a “Roaring Jayhawk”. I knew what I wanted it to look like sorta, but I didn’t know how to get there. I did some research and learned of Combs Custom Cycles and their many custom designed award winning show bikes. As soon as I met with Rick, he convinced me that he could create my dream, and boy did he. My bike has been featured in a couple magazines and has taken a couple first place finishes. And that’s because it’s only been entered twice. If I had the time, it would be shown everywhere. People just stand around staring at it wherever it goes. To look at it, you would assume that I spent tens of thousands on it, but Rick makes it affordable. I’m working on my next concept, and you can bet that Rick Combs will be doing it. Rick and his wife Lori are just great people, doing extraordinary things in very ordinary ways!

When I was thinking about getting a custom paint job done on my 2006 Harley Sportster 1200C, I had this idea in my head about Fire Flames. I attended the Easy Rider show back in May 2006. My two boys wanted to collect business cards, posters etc. When going through what they had collected, I came across Combs Custom Cycles. I first was interested in Combs Custom Cycles due to their location, but once I visited their website I had a good feeling they would give me what I wanted in a custom paint job. When I rode up to Combs Custom Cycles, I met Lori and Rick, I knew right then that this was the place I would give my FIRST Harley it's first custom paint job! They made you feel so assured this was the place to be and that I would be happy with my paint job...They DID NOT disappoint! I get tons of compliments and looks. So from a scale of 1-10..I would rate Combs Custom Cycles a 10+!. Thank you Rick and Lori for a job well done!

Rick and Lori Combs operate one of the very best custom bike shops I have seen in over 35 years of riding. Rick and I started talking over 2 years ago on a paint concept for my 03 Fatboy and his immediate credibility and knowledge impressed me so much I asked him to run with the very little guidance I provided. Since both of my daughters live in Lawrence and attend the University of Kansas, it was always easy to find an excuse to drop by and see Rick and Lori. No matter what they were in the middle of, they would graciously stop and spend any amount of time you needed with them. As a retired military officer and helicopter pilot, I wanted a very patriotic-themed paint job that show-cased my deep respect for this nation and her soldiers. I had seen bikes with the American Flag theme and asked Rick & Greg to come up with a version with his twist. They came back to me in a couple of weeks with an absolutely outstanding concept that featured everything I wanted and then some. The bike boasts a black base coat and proudly displays a waving American flag with a screaming eagle in flight on each side of the fuel tank. One of my favorite aspects of this work of art is the air brushed Master Army Aviator wings Greg placed on my rear fender. This bike is a true head turner everywhere I go. The finish on this bike is deep and rich. Rick & Greg did not miss a thing and even airbrushed in the thread seams and shading created by the waving flag. I always expect most passersby to ask where and who painted my bike if they are in ear shot. The next time I see Rick and Lori I'm asking them for business cards to hand out as this would make things much simpler so I can concentrate on riding. If you have a dream to fulfill, whether it be a custom or factory paint job, custom bike work, or anything related, share it with Rick and Lori and they will really take it to the next level. You will not be disappointed. Many thanks to this fabulous team of professional experts who work very hard to turn your ideas into reality!
