An almost iconic custom part of the past is the Bates solo seat. Sleek looking and easy to mount it was and is the seat of choice for many choppers and bobbers. These reproductions are meticulously made after the period accessories, with no detail left out. This means the detachable leather cover is fixed to the correct base plate with Phillips screws and countersunk washers.

Gravel, rocks and roadkill – here’s an awesome tire knowing no fear. Whistle into town, come back home across the fields Steve McQueen style. Do some hooligan racing among friends on the neighborhood dirt track. Or what about that camping trip to that place where the road ends you’ve been postponing all those years? The Bates Baja tires can handle it.
Here’s a family of scrambler tires right on the tracks of the legendary Goodyear Grasshopper, capable of doing it all: ample grip on the road with a tread pattern that will get you out of the deepest ruts off the road.
The Bates tires Baja are the product of Bates’ long experience on diverse gravel, dirt and mud pistas, highways and Autobahns on several continents. For continuous quality control we use them on our daily riders.
We’re having this classic square section tire produced to the highest technical standards. The design matches perfectly most vintage, bobber and chopper style bikes. The available wheel sizes can be freely combined. Your next vintage scrambler project should be awesome.
It’ll give that extra twist to that off-the-wall vintage rigid project of yours, or use it to give a whole new attitude to your custom bobber or 70th style swingarm.
The tires are certified by German TÜV for speeds up to 190 kph.

The WX Gas Tanks are directly influenced by the Harley-Davidson WR factory racer, a 45”/750 cc Flathead designed to dominate the flat tracks and road courses in America. They feature an innovative design which allows them to be fitted to stock 4-speed Big Twin frames from 1936-1984. The split and narrowed look with a slim profile is the perfect match to a fast and nimble motorcycle, from Knucklehead Bobber, Panhead Chopper or Shovelhead Cafe Racer.
