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....

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.

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.
