About American IronHorse
American IronHorse Motorcycle Co. designs and manufactures a brand of custom-built, high-performance cruisers and choppers. Founded in 1995, the company has grown to be the nation¹s largest factory producer of customized V-twin motorcycles at its 224,000 sq. ft. plant in Fort Worth, Texas.
The goal for American IronHorse Founders in the mid 90¹s was to create a new way for riders to order more personalized, specially designed motorcycles. Yet, the challenge was to make this opportunity available on a larger scale for riders everywhere. So rather than building just a few high-quality custom bikes every year, American IronHorse developed a manufacturing operation over time that delivers the freedom and assurance of owning a factory-backed custom motorcycle.
With each year, American IronHorse gets stronger. More than 100 dealers nationwide today sell American IronHorse motorcycles. The company designs in-house proprietary parts for its bikes, including seats and wheels. The Fort Worth factory houses design, engineering, paint, polishing and administrative departments all under one roof.
