West Coast Harley-Davidson, operated by West Coast (Glasgow) Ltd, is an authorised Harley-Davidson motorcycle dealership headquartered at 8 Mossland Drive, Hillington Park, Glasgow. Founded in 1998 and family-owned for more than 26 years, the business operates from a single flagship showroom in Glasgow with nationwide UK delivery capability, and serves individual Harley-Davidson motorcycle buyers, existing Harley owners seeking authorised service, and custom motorcycle enthusiasts. The core offering spans new and H-D Certified Approved Used motorcycles across the 2026 collection — Grand American Touring (Street Glide, Road Glide, CVO models with Milwaukee-Eight 117 and VVT 121 motors), Cruiser (Street Bob, Low Rider S/ST, Breakout, Fat Boy, Heritage Classic), Trike (Road Glide 3, Street Glide 3 Limited, CVO Street Glide 3 Limited), Adventure Touring (Pan America 1250 ST/Special/Limited), and Sport (Nightster, Nightster Special, Sportster S) — priced from £9,995 to £50,995, complemented by factory-trained servicing, parts and accessories, finance intermediation through Harley-Davidson Finance, and a Glasgow Customs custom-build division with 40+ unique builds in portfolio.

The business generates revenue through six streams: new motorcycle sales, certified pre-owned sales, parts and accessories (including Screamin' Eagle and aftermarket), authorised service and maintenance, customisation and detailing (Harley Appearance Protection and Diamondbrite Ceramic), and FCA-regulated finance intermediation (FCA No 717621) earning commission on lender introductions. Unit-pricing is the dominant commercial model, with finance options and trade-in acquisition available through a Sell Your Motorcycle channel. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through the physical showroom, an online storefront (westcoastharley.com and westcoastharleyshop.com), nationwide delivery managed by a dedicated logistics function, and community channels including Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) events and the on-site Junction 26 Café.
