<br />
Kenny Kwan, the owner of<a href="https://illfatedkustoms.com/"> Ill-Fated Kustoms</a>, fell in love with riding after taking a motorcycle riding course with his friend.  Since then, he has turned his passion into a career,<br />
<br />
After a bad motorcycle accident, all that was left of his bike was the motor.  He decided to rebuild.  When trying to source out parts for his mission, he found that most parts were only available in the United States.  He then partnered with a friend to start an online business aptly named Ill-Fated which imported custom parts.<br />
<br />
In 2015 Kwan decided to make Ill-Fated his full time business and opened to the general public in Calgary AB.  Since then he has three custom bike builds under his belt.  He sells everything from parts and gear, to accessories and apparel.  He also has a journeyman mechanic for services and repairs.<br />
<br />
