Chris Livengood is a Pittsburgh-based machinist and motorcycle enthusiast specializing in precision engine work, custom machining, and suspension development. Through ChrisLivengood.net and CL MotoTech, he provides hands-on services and technical resources for riders, builders, and motorsport enthusiasts.
ChrisLivengood.net began in the early 2000s as a personal project and has grown into a platform focused on motorcycles, machining, and technical development. What started as a simple website has evolved alongside years of hands-on experience working on engines, suspension systems, and custom fabrication projects.
Today, the site serves as both a technical resource and a hub for services including motorcycle cylinder boring and honing, custom machining and fabrication, suspension rebuilds and upgrades, and detailed project documentation. All work is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, serving riders throughout Western Pennsylvania and the surrounding region.
In addition to his work through this site, Chris operates CL MotoTech, a focused effort centered on motorcycle suspension systems, custom shock builds, and performance upgrades for vintage and twin-shock motorcycles.
The approach has always been straightforward: build, test, and improve. Whether developing new components, restoring older machines, or documenting technical processes, the focus is on practical engineering and real-world performance.
ChrisLivengood.net continues to evolve as both a working shop and a technical platform—built around a long-standing passion for motorcycles, machining, and motorsport.
