Bates Redding Drag Bar

Drag tires by Mickey Thompson are proven drag strip winners for years, provided the pilot is an experienced rider. For the quarter mile we offer a handy, rather soft rear tire, compounded for maximum traction. Requires no or almost no burn-out for the right stickiness.

If you plan to take your classic or stock scooter to the local drag strip this is your tire. Sized to fit your stock fenders and as sticky as chewing gum. Now you just have to hold fast and go full throttle.

You can safely consider these as classics among all Chopper handlebars. With their no-frills design the Pasadena bars look great on all stripped-down scooters since decades. They directly bolt to the upper crown without risers.

In the 1970s motorcycle designers became more and more spirited and the familiar lines and appearance of two-wheelers were radically remodeled. Daring tank and seat combinations, mostly realized in fiber glass, soon freshened the bike scene and some ideas were even picked up by large manufacturers. The Beefy Body derives from a design by the legendary Californian company Tracy, which was an industry leader in this field back then. Gas tank, seat, side panels and rear fender form a single unit and completely transform the bike. Just add a fancy paint job and your scoot will stand out in the crowd, guaranteed. The whole body is made from fiber glass covered with a VE Flex gelcoat, which provides a smooth and clean surface for painting. The original fender struts can be omitted and the Beefy Body bolts directly to the frame. A seat base plate for building your own custom seat comes with it.

Perfect for your ignition key. Made from tough but soft, non-scratch rubber material.

It is not far from Tustin, CA to the Santa Catalina island, where the Catalina Grand Prix, a 100-mile race, was held until the late Fifties. The Bates Tustin handlebars would have been a perfect fit for a race bike back then, because it has many talents. A speedy pace on windy roads or light offroad tracks - no problem for the Tustin. Bobber or Scrambler style scooters, they all benefit from its ready-set-go seating position and hand posture.

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 correctly fabricated and zinc-plated base plate with Phillips screws and countersunk washers.

Lower priced alternative to the Tolle or Müller product. Does not have integrated roller bearings but is of sliding type. Still it works very well due to exact machining and close fit.

This external throttle housing works with single cable and matches perfectly with the DELUXE handlebar controls. For retro-style handlebar projects.

Add a neat and classic style detail to your handlebars with these rings which will give your grips a true 1950's Hydra Glide appearance. They mount easily on 1” handlebars with set screws.

The Biltwell Whiskey throttle assembly stands for good looks and long term service. It fits all 1-inch O.D. handlebars and is supplied with various cable ferrules which fit both threaded and click-in barrel ends on stock Harley cables. If you don’t run stock H-D cables on your motorcycle, the ferrules also provide plenty of options for custom single- or double-cable assembly. Grips have to be ordered separately.

For bikeriders who prefer bolder styling and supreme clamping force, the Thunder riser set is the ticket. The top clamp features raised ribs and the Biltwell script logo just like the cast valve covers on your old small block. Made from solid, investment-cast stainless steel with stainless clamp hardware. Super heavy duty and built to last.
