- Bill Morris started “Bill’s Custom Cycles,” a Berwick motorcycle parts shop, in the 1970s. The business expanded, acquiring other parts shops and broadening into mail-order. Along the way, he was stockpiling some pretty rare and desirable parts. This led to the need for a facility to house this ever-growing collection of parts, and the beginning of “Bill’s Old Bike Barn.”
I was there last year. I had bought some parts from him on Ebay for my 1972 Sportster project. Brought my 1969 Sportster lower legs to him. He pulled the bushings out, sent the legs out and had them beautifully chromed, installed new bushings, reamed the bushings for new chromed fork tubes. He did a beautiful job. He is a very nice guy to talk to. He told me some of the stories he has had over the years. He had worked at a Harley dealership years ago. He is in his eighties now, but still shows up younger guys unloading a truck. He has many motorcycles in his museum. He has cutaways of Harley engines behind glass. It is an amazing place to visit. He told me he bought out 16 Harley dealerships over the years. His museum is in southern Pennsylvania, not too far from the Harley plant in York, Pa. It's $5 to visit the museum.
I can’t thank you enough for sharing your collection with us
I was riding my old shovelhead one week with my buddies that were on new bikes and everything fell off that week from the vibration and riding 80 mph trying to keep up , I lost both gas caps and had rags and tape on it , came across Bills place and he gave me 2 gas caps to make it home, thanks Bill, he has a great place and good stories everyone should make a trip out there

TCB 101, are you one of those people that likes Jim Bronson's 1969 Sportster.
