Lightning Services
HARLEY DAVIDSON, BUELL and Custom Specialist.
TYRES and WHEELS
At Lightning Services we have dedicated motorcycle only wheel changing and motorcycle only wheel balancing equipment. Use Lightning Services for your motorcycle tyre change and you can be absolutely sure that Bob the Builder's van wheels have been nowhere near these machines leaving grit and cement to scratch your pride and joy's wheels. Nor has some chav's clapped out and kerbed Nova wheels been on and off these machines like you know who's drawers! Lightning Services is no fast fit centre - our machines are motorcycle only. Your painted, polished, chromed and billet wheels are safe with us. The range of services on offer in house sorts your bike from the ground up.
