We Build Machines You Won't Find Anywhere Else

Every frame we weld, every sidecar we shape, and every engine we tune is a commitment to something rare: a motorcycle built by hand, for riders who refuse to blend in.

About Us

A Shop Built on Grit, Not Mass Production

Lambert Locomotive Works isn't a dealership with a parts catalog. We're a small, dedicated team in Leicester, Massachusetts, where every project starts with a conversation and ends with something that rides like it was made for one person — because it was.

Whether you're looking for a rugged sidecar rig that handles back roads like a dream, a custom frame built around your engine of choice, or a full restoration that brings a vintage machine back to life, we bring the same standard to every bolt we turn.

We don't cut corners. We don't rush. And we don't build anything we wouldn't ride ourselves.

What We Do

Services Built Around Your Ride

From bare-metal fabrication to finished machines, we cover the full spectrum of custom motorcycle work.

Custom Motorcycle Builds

From café racers to bobbers to adventure rigs — we design and build complete motorcycles tailored to your style, your riding, and your budget. You bring the vision; we bring the wrenches.

Sidecar Fabrication

Our sidecars are built for real roads and real weather — not show stands. We engineer them for stability, comfort, and durability, with custom mounting systems that bolt cleanly to your bike.

Frame Fabrication

Tube bending, TIG welding, and custom geometry — if it holds your engine and touches the ground, we can build it. Every frame we make is tested, aligned, and finished to last.

Restoration

Found a forgotten project in a barn? We restore vintage motorcycles with the same care we'd give our own. Mechanical rebuilds, cosmetic refreshes, or full nut-and-bolt restorations — all done right.

Performance & Tuning

Whether it's a carb rebuild, a cam swap, or a full engine dress-up, we tune machines to run smoothly and ride confidently. No guesswork — just proven setups that deliver.

Consultation & Design

Not sure where to start? We'll sit down with you, talk through your goals, and sketch out a plan — from concept to completion — before a single bolt is turned.

The Craft

Built Slow. Built Right. Built to Ride.

There's a difference between assembling a motorcycle and building one. At Lambert Locomotive Works, we treat every project like it's our own machine on the lift.

  • Every weld inspected, every bolt torqued to spec
  • Materials chosen for strength, not shortcuts
  • Finishes that age with character, not corrosion
  • Every build tested on the road before it leaves the shop
