The popularity of billet aluminum in the custom market turned our attention to this new medium. This gave all the narrow-glide owners the opportunity to customize their stock front ends without investing in a completely new fork. They also introduced custom widths in those years with what they called 2-inch and 3-inch narrow 41mm triple trees.īut their most successful triple tree design was certainly the 35mm wide-glide conversion. They developed one of the first narrow-glide and wide-glide billet steel triple trees on the custom market. We decided to run with CCE Triple Trees and new golden tubes just to get a little crazy.Ĭustom Cycle Engineering started building custom triple trees back in the late 1960s. One such restored classic is Randy Smith's 45 Magnum that now sits in the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee Wi. He has built many innovation Harleys and countless classics. Tim is a renowned Harley mechanic and custom bike builder in SoCal. Tim followed Randy's career through his motorcycle articles and through the workshop that Randy held at his shop in Westminster Ca. One of the newer additions to the Custom Cycle Engineering family is Tim Wallingford. Today CCE is a solidly entrenched into the Harley-Davidson and V-twin aftermarket with a wide variety innovative custom parts that have a purposeful need wrapped in a stylish design.Ĭustom Cycle Engineering is constantly developing new products with an eye on the future, but never forgetting their rich past. Teamed with the creative genius of Randy Smith and DEW's ability as a precision machine shop the product line increased in the early '90s. in 1971 and is one of the largest manufactures of extension fork tubes for the Harley aftermarket industry.ĭEW not only makes fork tubes, they also design custom triple trees, risers, front hub spools and tweak bars. Randy was a unique pioneer in the Harley aftermarket industry developing some of the first custom aftermarket parts and building some of the industry's most ground-breaking customs bikes.Īfter running Custom Cycle Engineering for many years Randy sold his interest in the company to Rick and Jim Whitehead of DEW Mfg. Randy Smith founded Custom Cycle Engineering in 1967.
