Rob - Rocket Swingarm
I was looking for a fabricator to make a one off swinging arm for my Triumph Rocket III, many builders were put off by the size and scale of the project, but not Gav.
After initially browsing the website and other builds I sent an email to Gav in April 2009 I was informed that I would have to wait 5 months for my fabrication slot. ( I thought someone this busy must be good). When the call came I took the bike and spare bits to Stapleford where Gav getting over the initall shock of the bike size started to listen to what I wanted. The best part about Gav is he listens first, too many builders tell you what you need, I really liked his approach. We agreed on a rough design, settled on what needed to be done, including building a bigger Jig and I left. During the build I was emailed with progress photo's we had a couple of discussions before I agreed on the final design. I must say the levels of contact, emails and photo's really are examples of how to do business well. The final design is amazing, the quality of workmanship is the best I have ever seen it really set's off the back end of the bike with the streetfighter look I wanted. I would not hesitate to recommend Gav and GIA engineering to anyone looking for something special..
