Pyrotec was founded in January 2000 by long time friends Steve Nash and Lee Ebrey. After a bike accident left Steve with time on his hands, and Lee ready to move on from his current job at a local custom motorcycle shop, they decided to try things on their own. The two began in a pole barn behind a friend's house, which they quickly outgrew, and moved to their current location in Alton, IL, just 1 mile from the famous Fast Eddie's Bon-Air.

Lee is responsible for all the custom paintwork that rolls out of Pyrotec, which he learned working side-by-side with his Dad. Realizing he had a talent, he's been at it for over 15 years and is a true "flame perfectionist". Steve handles all the meticulous in house polishing and powder coating that helps to set the shop apart from others. Together the Pyroboyz (as they are known locally) create unique works of art from frames, sheet metal, handlebars, sissy bars, motor mounts and damn near everything else that makes a custom bike a true custom.

The shop puts out 5 to 8 complete customs a year and several factory HD customs. They also handle countless paint jobs on everything from traditional old school to new school-old school, spraying everything from super detailed flames to the hottest House of Kolor candies.
