I want to give a huge shout out to the owner Nick! I called an early morning for a quote on my bike. We suggested I bring it by to get a better quote. Once I got there later on in the afternoon, he was very knowledgeable and welcoming. I dropped off the bike with him expecting completion to be around 2 weeks out. I received a call much sooner than the completion date. The moment I seen the exhaust I knew he listened to exactly what I wanted. I suggest everyone at minimum to meet him and go over what you’d like done. His crew and himself do amazing work! I’ll be bringing it back for a few more custom designs soon.
I had upgraded some exhaust parts on my BRZ that resulted in a pretty nasty rasp in the midrange. I decided adding a Vibrant resonator was my best chance to bring the sound back to something reasonable. Nick was able to get it done quickly, cleanly, and the welds look fantastic. Exhaust note is smooth and sporty now, I love it! I had an opportunity to see some other projects and the man is an artist. Two thumbs up.
Called companies small and big, for a couple of days. Save your time and trust my review. Nick is the best Titanium welder in town. His shop says it specializes in motorcycles but trust me he does great work on Euro cars as well. I didnt just find a good shop to do custom titanium work for me. I found a new friend and a trustworthy person to do work on my BMW. Thanks Nick, Ill be visiting you again soon! The exhaust sounds great!
I had the pleasure of meeting Nick and his team throughout the reconstruction of my 00 Honda Nighthawk dialed to my precise specifications. 485 as a whole was quick to respond and collaborate with me throughout the entire process. I greatly appreciated their design input and was impressed with their passion and commitment to their line of work. Ill be sending friends and family here without a doubt.
Excellent customer service! From the initial inquiry to the delivery, everything was handle in a professional manner. The final product came out fantastic for my Audi. Will be using them again for future project builds. Thanks again!
485designs is the best fabrication shop for anything motorcycle/car/exhaust related in the Denver area. Nick and his team are top notch. 10/10 recommend all day!! Thank you 485 for all you do!
Top notch quality, above and beyond what I expected. Worth every penny and second of waiting.
The team at 485 is truly special. From their customer service to the unmatched blend of creating bikes that bridge the beauty of the past with technology of today . Stand out in the crowd with a custom product that reflects a workmanship of the past all thru a team of people that enjoy making motorcycles at the highest level.Thank you Again Nick!
Nick got me in super quick to do a resonator delete and did so well. Im super satisfied with the work and it sounded great on my STI.
Where to start? First, Nick is great. I was looking for a custom subframe for my 82 Virago for a long time before I found 485 designs. I saw one of Nicks bikes in an article on the web and couldnt believe that 485 was local in Colorado. I reached out to Nick and got a response from him within a day. Nick said I could order something from the website, or because I was local, come to the shop and talk about some custom work. Ummm, yes I as going to come to the shop! Every boys dream, right... I had an idea of what I wanted and it was awesome to be able to talk with Nick about the details. Once I told him what I was looking for, I let him run with it. Nick did a custom subrame and battery tray (powder coated) for my bike. He lifted the fuel tank, rerouted some wiring, and made a custom exhaust. Heres the best part, Nicks pricing is very reasonable. If youve dug around the internet for custom or aftermarket motorcycle parts, then you know how expensive they can be. For around the same price as something basic, sitting on a warehouse shelf, I got custom parts, specific to me, and I got to be part of the design. Im more than happy with the work. I will definitely use him again and again!
Got some pipes built for my Audi and the craftsmanship is phenomenal. His work is art and I will use 485 designs again and again.
Hands down great guy nick will get you taken care of! He’s always been so helpful whenever I need something welded last minute, I’m looking forward to bringing my 4.2 in for some down pipes and exhaust! 485 Designs for the win!
Awesome attention to detail !! Nick spends the time to do it right with the utmost in quality, I never realized an exhaust could be considered a peice of art
After an unfortunate turn of events, I ended up with a broken bellhousing on my s4 transmission. A couple buddies of mine said I could get it welded if I was able to find a good welder to do it, so I hit up Nick at 485. He was able to weld it all back together and I had my transmission back (and in one piece) by the next day. Super cool guys and an absolutely awesome shop. If you need anything welded or fabricated they can do it! And an added bonus is getting to see some pretty sweet s4s and bikes while youre there. Thanks again guys!
Im a big fan of 485 design, I ordered an exhaust for my 82 xv750 and he did not fail to deliver price was fair and the product is prestine fit like a glove and makes my bike sounds incredible. Not to mention the incredible weight savings. All together fire product and its only going to get better!
This shop is legit! Quick turn around on an extensive build. Nick did some killer fab work on a custom exhaust and rear controls! They got my GN400 looking and riding amazing!
Incredible experience working with Nick on a custom midpipe for my mk7 Golf R. Im very pleased with the finished product. First class craftsmanship and attention to detail. Too bad his incredible work will be under the car and I wont get to see it often! In addition to the incredible work Nick is a genuinely nice guy to work with. Ill be back for future projects!
Found them through Social Media and was amazed at their quality of work shown through photos. When I went to their shop to inquire about some fab work the quality and amazing attention to detail on their work in person was exactly what was posted in the photos I had saw. Pricing was very reasonable and done in the amount of time they had promised. Definitely going to be using them in the future.
Im working on a 1995 Virago (XV750), I was quite struggling with the rear swing arm till I came across with the 485 solution, it arrived all the way to Israel, saved me a lot of trial and error and fit perfectly to my project. Thanks.
Big shout out to Nick for getting me in and out in a week nice and smooth. I contacted him about getting a borg s360 fitted on my STI and he did a killer job, not to mention he went out of his way to help me properly fix a leak on my oil drain. Definitely recommend him for any fabrication on your car definitely will be returning in the future. 🤘🤘🤘
485 is comprised of exceptional fabricators and welders. Their skill level is second to none and they treat every project as if it were their own, which is hard to find these days. If youre a car or motorcycle enthusiast, look no further. These boys define the meaning of quality workmanship and always finish the job, within budget and on time. I will definitely be back in the future for more work! Thanks Nick!
Nick went above and beyond to get me taken care of and did an amazing job! 11/10 would recommend to anyone 👍
10/10 recommend!!! Best welds I’ve ever seen! I’ll for sure be going back to get more fab work!!
Nick at 485 designs is hands down the best fabricator in Colorado. Adjusted my current exhaust which did not fit and fits perfectly now. Sounds incredible too! Above all else, Nicks customer service skills were excellent. Kept me updated with progress pictures and did everything to make sure I was pleased with the whole experience. Dude lays beads like nobody’s business! Will always recommend 485 designs.
485 designs always delivers a quality and product that goes above and beyond my expectations. They listen to their clients and really go out of the way to meet their clients needs and deadlines to the best of their abilities. I highly recommend these guys, and will be returning the next time I need work done!
485 Designs built me a subframe and exhaust system for my 81 virago 750. I went to them with hopes for something similar to their past projects and I was not let down. We easily came to an agreement with price, they added to the order a custom seat, passenger pegs and a rear light, and their communication was awesome. The quality of the products is truly amazing and you can seriously see their talent and passion they have in their work. Im excited to have their parts on my bike as I think its going to be the top two features that make this bike stand out from the rest. I would strongly recommend 485 Designs to anybody else needing special help with their motorcycle build.Thank you 485 Designs!
Very professional guys doing really great work and always in a timely manner, respected myself and my belongings as their own. Very well rounded in what they know and very experienced in it all also. Will be using them more often in the future.
485 Designs did an amazing job with a custom exhaust build for my 2011 CTSV. I would recommend taking your vehicle to 485 designs for any exhaust work or custom fabrication, Nick will listen to exactly what you want and make it happen.
I was having trouble passing emissions, and these guys went above and beyond to help me make sure I passed! Great bunch of guys, and they build incredible motorcycles as well as any custom fabrication
485 Designs built custom downpipes, catted midpipes, and exhaust for my S4. Exceeded my expectations on build quality and I can always trust the car is taken care of. Very high quality parts at a good price.
Had the guys at 485 build me full intake and inlet piping for my S4. Came to them with my idea for the piping and they far exceeded my expectations. Very high level fabrication done by creative car and motorcycle enthusiasts who have a passion for their craft.
The shop was very professional and did an amazing job on powder coating my parts. Very friendly guys working there as well
Always great quality work!
