I somehow missed this article when Paul posted it… I’ve been a frequent visitor to Deus since they opened the doors back in 2005 or so. Since moving interstate, not so often, but I dropped in for a few hours on the weekend of the V8 Supercar streetrace in Sydney and they have really shifted up a gear in stock and general activity – the store was bursting with bikes, clothes and people. Great to see.

Since the article was first posted here, Deus have opened a store in Los Angeles, and have started doing HDs (probably no coincidence that both these have occured around the same time!).

On their prices – I was out the back of Woop Woop a couple of years ago and came across an old bloke on a Norton, who eyed my Deus t-shirt and said “Deus Ex Machina – from the latin, meaning ‘Christ, what an exxy (expensive) machine!!!’ ” >: )

I can relate to Paul Crowe’s frustration in the initial article that sparked this thread. Being much inspired by both bratstyle and deus I got my hands on a w650 (i’m in the uk) but struggled to get any decent custom parts to build my own street tracker. I did get a nitroheads seat from deus, but that spanked my budget, and the japanese companies(bratstyle, peyton place, nitroheads, daytona….) won’t export (to the uk at least). Well I pulled in a few favours, saved some cash, and have ended up with a bike that looks and rides how I want, but it has been a mean 2 year struggle. VD classic stage 3 dynojet carb conversion with pancake filters , Wilbers racing shocks (3inch lower) customised sportster tank, a whole new set of lights, and electrics run through the frame to hide the coil under the seat, custom black bars, wrapped open pipes…i could go on….But hey, maybe it supposed to be this way. Customising your bike buy shopping “off the shelf” from one source has never been the way. I wish I could post some pics. Thanks has got to go to deus and bratstyle for inspiration. And lets face it, when you’re riding the damn thing (which is what its for), you can’t see it anyway. Well, I’m done with elephant bikes. 650′s rule. And mine now rules more than most.

Whilst the Deus bikes are mostly very nice looking, and I can appreciate the workmanship that goes into them, the prices are off the planet ! … imo.
I was pretty shocked when I saw the cost of some of them.

One part of the ownership of Deus is Rod Hunwick. His name may be familiar from the late nineties and his attempt to establish the Hunwick Hallam and Hunwick Harrop brands.
