Keep the machine moving.
Routine maintenance, difficult diagnosis, engine work and long-term restoration for motorcycles from the post-war era through current model years.
Old bikes. New bikes. Done properly.
Stanley’s is built around a simple idea: inspect the motorcycle, explain the evidence, agree on the work, then finish it with verification.
How the workshop worksThe work, without the sales pitch.
Straightforward categories, clear starting prices where they make sense, and an estimate when the motorcycle needs inspection first.
Start with the motorcycle in front of you.
No-start faults, charging issues, carburetion, EFI, compression, leak-down, tune-up work and mechanical assessment.
Routine service
Oil, fluids, chains, sprockets, batteries and seasonal checks.
Road-critical work
Mounting, balancing, pads, rotors, brake fluid and hydraulic service.
Bring it back
Recommissioning, mechanical revival, preservation and full project work.
Preserve what matters. Rebuild what doesn’t.
Some motorcycles need a recommissioning. Others need to come apart. The first job is deciding which one you actually have.
Explore restorationNo mystery between drop-off and pickup.
The motorcycle moves through a defined sequence and the owner knows when approval is needed.
Intake
Year, model, condition, history, symptoms and what the owner wants from the bike.
Inspect
Baseline checks and evidence before parts, teardown or deeper diagnosis.
Approve
Scope and estimated labor are discussed before the job grows.
Repair
Mechanical work is carried out to the approved scope with notes where decisions matter.
Verify
Function checks, road test when appropriate, leak inspection and final handover notes.
Old systems and new systems fail differently.
A 1960s ignition problem and a modern EFI fault may share a symptom, but not a diagnostic path.
Mechanical simplicity
Carburetors, points ignition, cable-operated controls, drum brakes and systems that reward patient mechanical inspection.
Tell us what the bike is doing.
Year, make, model, symptoms and recent work are more useful than a long description of what you think the part might be.
