Saxon Motorcycle Company

Factory customs with rideable geometry and warranty-backed ownership
Company History
Saxon entered the American custom scene promising showbike looks without the headaches: consistent geometry, quality brakes, and a warranty. Its bikes used proven V-twin powerplants and frames spec’d to feel stable at highway speeds rather than just on the show floor. The brand’s approach—repeatable jigs, vetted suppliers, and documentation—helped owners treat customs like real transport. As market tides shifted after the mid-2000s boom, Saxon receded, but its idea stuck: customs can be engineered products, not one-off gambles. Historically, Saxon represents a maturation of the segment—beauty and billet backed by manufacturing discipline—an influence visible in today’s production customs that prioritize serviceability and rider confidence.
