Craig Bordner started Craig's Custom motorcycles Inc. in January of 1979. His first shop was his bedroom. He soon moved into a chicken house. Then moved into a garage under his house before moving into the upper building at his current location in Middletown, PA, which was later added onto with new building
Craig's is a full service shop. They do everything. Not only do they do great metal work and fabrication, but they also do custom paint, lettering and customizing of any type on all vehicles, be it car, truck, bike or what ever you bring to them. The current facility has an assembly area, body shop, paint shop with ventilated booth, sign shop with vinyl cutter, showroom, and parts display area. Craig's not only sells parts but they also manufacture parts for sale including their own headlight assembly.
One of Craig's most notable creations is the Chaos bike. It was a ground up in- house creation. The design of this bike is awesome, from the finned motor cover to the flip up gas tank cover. The Chaos bike used to be the M&M Mars bike, now it is a magenta and mica work of art. As for their next projects, they plan on building a bagger for their new shop bike after they paint a 1946 Kaiser pickup. Craig's shop has painted numerous bikes for Lenny Kravitz.
