Arlen Ness Distributor Australia 

Ness Appoints Rollies As Their Australian Distributor

RSS Distribution / Rollies Speed Shop is proud to announce we are have been appointed as the Exclusive Australian Distributor for the Arlen Ness range of Products.

Arlens first customs were made in the garage of his home in San Leandro, California, but by the early 1970's he had moved to a storefront on East 14th Street. Ness was recognized for his unique painting style and for developing a line of custom motorcycle parts. His popularity grew as he built new custom bikes and then had those displayed on the bike show circuit and featured in motorcycle magazines.

After more than three decades of custom bike building and developing his business to the point that it supports a several hundred page parts catalogue, .

Arlen Ness, Inc. moved to a Dublin, California facility that included a museum featuring more than 40 of his custom motorcycles. The museum displays his famous Untouchable, the twin motor Two Bad, the antique inspired Ness-Tique, Blower Bike, the Italian sports car inspired Ferrari Bike, the '57 Chevy sports car inspired Ness-Stalgia, the Bugatti-like Smooth-Ness, the Discovery Channel's Biker Build-Off bike Top Banana, and his jet powered Mach Ness

Arlen has received recognition and awards including Builder of the Year, induction into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame and Lifetime Achievement Awards. His son, Cory Ness, has worked with Arlen for more than 30 years, and now runs the day to day business operations at Arlen Ness, Inc. Cory has himself been recognized as a top custom bike builder and even defeated his father in a 2004 episode of The Great Biker Build-Off. Carrying on the family tradition to a third generation, Cory's son, Zach, built several beautiful high end customs before finishing high school in 2006.

The Arlen Ness Brand was originally distributed in Australia by a good friend, Keith McClure. Keith aka "Albert" ran his operation from the town of Kew in New South Wales. Some of you may remember the "Far-Kew" T-shirts which were well known through-out Australia and the world. Rollie is proud to carry on the Ness Tradition in Alberts footsteps. Lower pricing, skilled sales staff, and awesome Technical support are just some of the tools we will use to re-instate Ness Products as the Kings of Custom here in Oz.
