Our Company
Cannella Custom Cycles, located in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida was created in 2005 and incorporated in 2007 by its co-founders Chris and Christine Cannella.
In addition to making magic happen in our South Florida “shop,” we offer an online marketplace for men and women motorcycle enthusiasts of all ages to view and discuss a wide variety of unique customized parts and accessories.
The company also offers riders the ability to purchase Cannella Custom Cycle apparel online through the Cannella Custom Clothing storefront, and we believe you will enjoy viewing selected items from the Christine Alexander clothing line selected specifically by Christine for today’s female rider.
Our Process
Cannella Custom Cycles offers riders the opportunity to personalize their motorcycle with endless possibilities.
Whatever your needs, you are involved in the process of creating your dream ride. You explain your needs, requirements and tastes, we discuss and look at options, even troubleshoot – then we help design, build or improve your motorcycle to your unique specifications.
We make certain you understand what is being done and why. You can come visit your motorcycle at various stages throughout the process. We listen to you and understand that your motorcycle is an important part of your life.
