Detroit Headlights

Glass, reflector and light bulb inseparably combined in one unit: the sealed beam headlights invented in 1939 were mandatory in the US from 1940-1983, at least for cars, and were standard on Harleys from 1948. Older designs such as the Springer headlight on the Harley have separate parts instead, and in some cases the bulb even had to be positioned with an adjusting screw. Also, the reflector had to be checked regularly for rust, as there was often moisture inside due to inadequate seals. The sealed beam insert put an end to all this.

Distinctive steel fender with longitudinal ripples which will make your bike stand out. Hand-made with a fully circumferential 3/8” beaded edge for more rigidity.

Early type of the famous Sparto taillight with that distinctive kick at the front end. The lens is real glass.

The distinctive ornamental top caps and conical shape of these headlights reminds of typical 1930s streamlining designs as seen for example on Mercury trains of this era. Will light and look great on your classic chopper or bobber locomotive.

Faithful reproductions of the rectangular Electroline headlights which were poular in the 1960s and 1970s on choppers. Cast from aluminum, with top fin and grooves, just like the originals.

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.

Get your bike that slim sixties styling with these narrow handlebars made by the Japanese company Fork. Due to their narrow design these handlebars do not work with common riser set-ups but require the special Fork riser clamp.
