Kennedy’s Custom Cycles

Every time I see Mike and Bill they are friendly and amazing! Truly great service from a trusted and honest bike shop! Thank you guys! I will be telling all my friends :)

Parts, parts, parts. Stressed on life at a point were your ready to pop. One thing to cure is to just hop on your bike and just ride, leaving your troubles behind. What’s that the cure, your ride is out of commission because of one simple part?! Chomping at the bit and seeking a quick fix solution (as to me fabricating) to my need i drove to my last hope. By the stroke of Thor’s Hammer i hit pay dirt! Not only they had the part, they had many other parts I’ll be rummaging soon. As i came out finding the cure for my desperation, with no hast an offer of price of which prides me to say a loyal customer to stay. I rode that evening cold as hell with the shirt on my back with not a care in the world and a smile on my face. I had my fix for the day. Thanks brother .true kinship, old ways have not been lost. Seriously recommend especially if you have a medical condition, «Biker». Doctors orders!

These guys advocate 140 dB bikes that wake up kids and disturb neighborhoods. They call people «fatuous» for being pissed when their amplified leaf blowers wake up a baby.
I call bullshit on white trash biker culture. Bill and his ilk just like to make noise to piss people off. And guess what? It pisses people off.
It’s not «bad» — though there is that nasty meth problem — it’s just childish. This business is a bad neighbor and a scourge on REAL bikers.

This is my second review after 2 years.
Ive been riding for years, mostly off road, had to go with a Harley cruiser just b/​c I live on 101 and seemed like fun. Hung out with Bill a few times, talked bikes and after looking around for about 6 months grabbed one from him. No pressure, great advise on picking the best for you (really he is all about buying the last bike you’ll want), and also the service guys are willing to help you in a pinch.
Bill is the owner, his nephew is the sales guys and both are really cool. In fact Bill is an Icon in the local Harley circles around here, and is a great guy. So go there, you will pay a fair price on a used bike, get sick advise, and feel like you have great support if you need it.
They are in the Oceanside Valley, I shape surfboards there and all the guys I work with told me to talk to Bill… went there and they were spot on. Great business, great guy.

Want a great place to get an awesome deal, friendly, honest service. Come here and tell Bill, Shylo sent yea

Would never recommend this place to anybody. I walked around there showroom for a half hour and not one employee asked if I needed help. I was set on buying a certain dyna, after looking it over very well, I could tell they left alot out of the ad. The bike was alot worse off then they described, but thought if they would move on the price I would still be interested.
After I finally walked up and asked for help, the guy with a beard at the front desk didn’t seem to want to be bothered. After asking a couple questions, I asked if there was any flexibility in the price. He said no. I asked «even with all the issues it has, no wiggle room?» to which he replied no and felt the need to inform me that they had been in business 30 years and «were pretty set in their ways.» I got the impression that this guy was a child of the owner and could care less about doing good for the business. I was blown away with the lack of customer service.
Would not, could not recommend wasting your hard earned money here. Much better places to look for a bike.

This is the only place I will take my bike for service. Steve really knows what he is doing and always gives a fair price. He’s one of those old school mechanics that will even let you look over his shoulder when he’s working on your bike so you can do it yourself next time.
Bill is happy to just talk motorcycles with you and isn’t interested in pressuring a sale. You don’t know what kind of bars or seat you want? He’ll swap em out until you find the combo you need.
They even have a back room that I call the motorcycle graveyard. Every old part you can think of is back there if you ever need anything. They also have a guy named Stitch who will sew patches into your leather while you shop around.
If you’re looking for a brand new Harley Davidson, go to the HD dealer. If you’re looking for cool, inexpensive bikes– new or old– and a nice friendly environment, Kennedy’s is the place to go.

I don’t even think these guys want to sell their motorcycles. I called a few times asking about bikes and the guy was super short and just wanted to get me off the phone. I asked about a particular bike that was on their wait list section of the site, to see if he would call me when it arrives. He simply said «no» that I would need to call back. He stated that he was short handed and couldn’t do it… Really? How lazy do u have to be??? I was so wanting this bike and would have bought it. He could have simply jotted down my number and just called when it arrived… I’m done with them… Customer service is so key now a days… I would drive great distances to be dealt with properly. I hope management sees this and works on creating a more friendly environment.

Too bad I have to give a bad review. Bill is a GREAT guy too bad the gentleman running the front is a failure. Rude, unprofessional, and insulting to my spouse when she called to check on a part for me. After spending $ 620 with them and ordering another $ 534 in parts the front desk staff refused to pick up the part ordered from a local HD, that I had already paid for, out of spite. I enjoyed doing business with them and had sent other customers their way with high reviews but, no more.

Got the oil and filter I needed for an oil change at a fair price, would recommend to others.
