Powerplant Custom Choppers

I highly recommend taking you bike here. Yaniv is in credible. I had him make me a custom pipe for my 2015 dyna street bob. The pipe looks and sounds amazing. My bike runs 10 times better, and the price was more than fair. Power plant will be the only shop touching my bike moving forward!

Like many of the other reviews on Unilocal.«Don’t waste your time with these losers. It’s not worth it. As they clearly don’t have their shit together.» The employees are very rude and unprofessional. Overpriced, Cheap Quality products, and extremely dirty inside the shop. I would recommend a different shop with healthy work habits and someone who actually knows about their products.
Very disgusted with the customer service, congratulations losing a customer Powerplant.

DON’T GO HERE. DON’T TRUST THEM.
SAME OWNER AS THE STORE «FOR THE LOVE OF MOTORCYCLES»
These guys are so unprofessional. We called them up for a custom-​made Helmet for our friends bday and asked them for rates and pricing. After talking to two people they told us they can custom make the Helmet for us for 300 $ and that it is no big deal doing these Helmets as they doing them all the time. After giving us this information I walked in one day later to speak to them and comfirm our order. They immediately changed their rates from 300 $-350 $ and told me that its not going to be easy but they can do it if we give them more than a week. I told them that this is ok for us and that I will order the Helmet online (as they didn’t have the right shape and size in store). Next day we called them again to tell them that we ordered the Helmet and that we would like to know how long it would roughly take them to paint the Helmet. They told us (24hours later!!!) that they changed their minds and that they want over 500 $ now as the owner had to leave town and it would be a rush order for them. We told them that they can take their time but they didn’t lower the price and insisted on charging us 500 $.
Dont’t waste your time with these losers. Its not worth it. As they clearly don’t have their shit together.

Dial this number: (323) 658‑6711. See if they answer.

Very cool shop! We were there for the clothes, didn’t see any bikes. Big selection of tees and a few riding jackets. The place is like a musuem, so fun to look around at all the cool displays.
It’s hard to see on Melrose, I actually walked right by… my friend had the tip to check it out and she realized this was it. Look for the cool tin man sign and very long hall way!

I can easily say that this shop produces some of the most beautiful handcrafted machines i’ve ever seen. Not only does the owner «Yaniv Evan» and his staff have an eye and the necessary skills to creat rolling works of art, but Yaniv is always there to work on your budget. As his favorite saying goes «You get what you pay for!», i can say that you do get alot. As his prices may seem high for most, when you break it down according craftsmanship and final result, it actualy non out of this world. If his bikes don’t have your desired price tags, its not because they’re over priced but just that they are out of your price range.
Keep up the good work Yaniv!

Coming from Europe to Cali, looking for the best Bike Shop to get my bike done. I finally found what i always wanted at POWEPLANT Choppers on Melrose, kinda secret bike shop joint in a back alley, where u can see the most beautiful bikes as well as craziest personality from the owner Yaniv a bit arrogant but yet fuckin creative (beleive me the man knows about bikes) to Rudy ex-​model/​actor/​pimp/​whatever or Steve Olson (pro skater) and even Scott Caan (who had his bike done there). Really you have to meet those people even though they seems inapprochable at first, they are the coolest dudes i’ve met here.
So i decided to take it to the next step: Get my really own Powerplant bike.
Now that’s done i can say i have the Badest Bike Ever !!

All sizzle. No Steak. This band of nincompoops are nothing but surface fabricators. Prop stylists. They aren’t mechanics or techs in any way, and haven’t a clue about engineering a motorcycle. Just another west coast unrideable hard tail meatgrinder for stupid people. Nobody keeps these pieces of shit for more than a year. They just acknowledge the mistake and go buy a Gold Wing a year later.
Have I mentioned that they’re total dicks? You call & ask to come in to get something done and the retarded grease monkeys ignore you, while the annoying pit bull barks at you. A friend bought a very expensive crappy bike there and his girlfriend said the owner asked her out while his back was turned. How’s that for character?

I literally can’t take someone new to Melrose and not stop by Powerplant Choppers. This is probably best custom bike shop in all of LA. You probably never heard of it because it so secretly tucked behind other stores on Melrose. Even so it still gets small crowds of gawkers coming by every day. Yaniv Evan was nice enough to give me a tour of his shop one time when not much was going on and this guy has extreme creativity. These are probably the most unique choppers you will ever see. I would tell you to stop by the shop if you can find it. And if you do find it be courteous and let the guys work, they are busy churning out master works of art.
