Campbells Custom is an independent business which hand crafts high-quality custom exhausts for motorbikes. We are a small team of two with a combined experience of almost 100 years.

John Campbell

Time served engineer, from back in times when engineers worked with their hands. John is an ex short-circuit racer and Isle of Man TT and Southern 100 sidecar rider.  
The name Campbell is well known in the motorcycle world, and has been synonymous  with motorcycle exhausts for the last 48 years.

John's experience will continue to be behind exclusively show-winning bespoke competition and café racers. 

Now looking forward to working with new enthusiastic younger partner Dave, he will continue to develop the new products into the future.

He has built cafe racers, race bikes, classic bikes and vintage bikes, two stroke engines and four stroke engines.
Dave always raced as a privateer on bikes that he looked after himself and competed against the best - getting many front row starts and top finishes at British Superbikes, F1 and Supersport races during 1989 to 1994 seasons. He also raced in some World Superbike rounds in 94.

At the latter end of the 90’s he got a Kawasaki ZX7RR which he used to make and have made some performance parts including carbon fibre bodywork/air boxes, aluminium brackets etc. It was on this bike that John Campbell supported Dave supplying a titanium silencer which John would repack on a regular basis. 
John also built a road going stainless system for Dave’s road Kawasaki ZX7.

After Dave’s racing career he ran a team in the British supersport championships “Team Buff” running Kawasaki ZX6’s in 2006/7 followed by Triumph 675 daytona’s in 2008. Then Dave retired from racing to start rebuilding Vintage & classic bikes.
