Draganfly started as a workshop back in 1976, offering repairs and refurbs to motorbikes of all shapes and sizes. Now our workshop occupies the ground floor of our three-storey home focussing on vintage British machines. As well as manufacturing many of our parts, we offer many workshop services, from bores to welding, below are some common requests along with guide prices as each repair is different.

Cleaning of parts can remove old paint, surface rust or ingrained grime, to make a surface ready for refinishing or painting. We can clean parts using our ultrasonic cleaners or in our blasting cabinet. Simply pop in to see us or post us your parts – don’t forget to include instructions and a phone number!
Small items ultrasonically cleaned from £15 and blasting is by the hour at £45.
