Thu, 20 Aug 2009 05:42:31 -0400

Original Metalflake - Biltwell Open Face Helmets - £94.00

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 05:39:52 -0400

As these colours sell out the megaflakes are being introduced by biltwell Pudding bowls, Nazi helmets and DOT-approved half helmets each have their place in the pantheon of skid lids, but for our money, nothing looks better or feels more comfortable than an old-fashioned open face helmet. Trouble is, finding an open face that doesn’t make you look like an astronaut is extremely difficult. NOS helmets are one solution to this problem, but their numbers are dwindling rapidly. When you can find one of these circa ‘60s brain buckets, they are usually so moth-eaten and/or overpriced you can’t justify putting one on your head. Enter the Biltwell novelty helmet. Our open face design is stylish, comfortable and classic. Our seamless injection-molded ABS plastic outer shell is form fitting and super flexible. Because our non-DOT-approved helmet has no expanded polystyrene (EPS) inner shell, it fits close to the skull—nobody wants to look like a bobble head doll when they’re riding their chopper. The open-cell foam padding inside our helmet features a moisture wicking fleece Lycra liner for cool, dry comfort. We offer a wide range of metal flake and solid colors, and a rugged clear coat protects every paint job. The helmet edge is protected with durable rubber ribbing. A simple D-ring retention strap holds the Biltwell helmet securely on your head. Now, a word about sizing. Miraculously, the Biltwell helmet is one size fits most. Pin-headed bikers who normally wear a 6-5/8 helmet can wear a Biltwell helmet, and their size 8+ pals can squeeze their giant melons into our helmet without discomfort. That’s because the foam padding inside our helmets is really soft and compliant, and because our outer shell is so flexible. Of course, this is the reason why the Biltwell helmet is designed for display and novelty purposes only, and should never be worn to operate an actual motorcycle. Simply put, Biltwell helmets do not meet any DOT or other safety standards. IN RESPONSE TO FEEDBACK ON SIZING IF YOU NORMALLY WEAR A SMALL HELMET THESE COULD WELL BE TOO BIG FOR YOU.

Original Solid - Biltwell Open Face Helmets - £76.00

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 05:45:57 -0400

Not everyone is ready to embrace the metal flake thing. For those low-key individuals, we offer the same proven helmet design with some less showy colours.

Trouble is, finding an open face that doesn’t make you look like an astronaut is extremely difficult. NOS helmets are one solution to this problem, but their numbers are dwindling rapidly.

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 04:46:45 -0400

From Lowbrow Customs. Mount your solo seat easily with these weld-on solo seat spring mounts.

They are coped at 1" to fit standard size frame tubing, but can easily be enlarged to fit larger 1 1/4" tube if necessary. They come with a pair of 1/8" thick leather washers to keep your springs from squeaking. Price is for a set of two mounts and washers.

Biltwell Exhaust Tips - £51.00

Fri, 09 Jan 2009 05:45:50 -0500

Triumph guru and faithful Biltwell supporter Wes White had a great idea: make some stylish exhaust tips to dress up the look of standard 1-3/4” straight pipes. We agreed with Wes, and asked him to design a set. The velocity stack on an old Amal carb inspired Wes’s classic design. We were so inspired by Wes’s idea, we designed three tips of our own. All four Biltwell exhaust tip sets are machined from 6061 T-6 aluminum and press fit inside any 1-3/4-inch O.D. straight pipe perfectly. We recommend drilling and screwing the tip to the pipe to complete installation, but we leave this step to the discretion of the builder. SURFACE FINISH: after CNC machining, each tip set is sandblasted to a dull neutral finish, then black or silver anodized for protection and appearance. After anodizing, we laser etch the Biltwell brand and model ID into each tip. This laser etching is hidden inside the exhaust pipe when the tips are installed.

Biltwell Cast Stainless Seat Bracket Kit - £61.00

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 04:56:41 -0400

This all new investment-cast satinless steel seat hinge may just outlast the rest of your motorcycle. It's fully polished after casting and also available in a black electroplated finish. The weld-on bung is larger for increased durability and more weld surface area. If you've already welded the bung from the Chromoly unit onto your bike, this bracket will bolt right up. Price is estimated until i have them in my hands, but its in the right ball-park

Biltwell Seat Bracket Kit - £41.00

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 07:35:28 -0400

Like our handlebars, the Biltwell seat bracket and frame pivot are made of 4130 chromoly. Why such a rugged material? If you think your seat bracket doesn’t have to be strong, think again. We did, and we couldn’t think of a better place to put aircraft-grade chromoly steel than right between your legs. Imagine what might happen to your junk if your seat snapped off at 80 miles per hour. You can thank us later. Of course, all welds are TIG. Beautiful, strong and accurate. We could MIG weld these components, but that would belie our name. The Biltwell seat bracket is engineered to fit the mounting studs on most solo seats. It features two long slots for adjustability. Its rugged black electroplated finish looks great as is, or you can abrade the surface with a sandblaster or steel wool for custom painting. We left the accompanying pivot bracket unfinished so it can be welded to the backbone of your frame without special preparation. An Allen cap bolt threads into the opposite side of the bracket, creating an efficient and durable hinge pin. ONLY BLACK AVAILABLE

Biltwell Registration / Stash Tube - £30.00

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 18:12:53 -0500

Bill found the inspiration for this clean and classic document tube on the innerweb a couple years ago. He’d seen similar gizmos on old bikes from the ‘40’s and ‘50’s. Like our modern replica, those antique jewels provided a place to store your bike’s legal documents, personal effects and other contraband. Unlike those precious relics, the Biltwell registration tube doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. The Biltwell registration tube is easy to use. Simply loosen one thumb screw, remove the end cap, slip your documents into the rugged plastic tube, replace the end cap and bolt the entire assembly to the license plate on your motorcycle. The Biltwell registration tube features the aforementioned high-impact plastic tube, machined aluminum end caps, stamped steel L-brackets and electroplated hardware. Two anodized colors are available: clear or black. The tubes measure 4.5" long

Biltwell Solo Seat - £98.00

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 07:52:54 -0400

Motorcycle aficionados past and present consider Bates’ revered solo seat de rigueur for choppers, bobbers and customs. Sadly, scouring the Internet to find the perfect Bates seat just isn’t practical—the company stopped making these prized jewels eons ago. In an attempt to pacify demand for both of these great seats without blatantly ripping off the shape of either one, we’re proud to offer the Biltwell Solo Seat. In so much as our seat only accommodates one ass, it is nearly identical to both offerings. In every other detail, we’ll go out on a limb and say our solo seat is even better.The shape and curvature of the Biltwell Inc. Solo Seat was hand hammered by Chris Collins. Functional, comfortable styling cues include a narrow profile, a short, supportive nose, gently sloping sides and a subtle rear kick to keep you from sliding off your ride. The pan is stamped from heavy gauge high-tensile steel and features ribs and indents for added rigidity and stiffness. The four threaded mounting bosses are welded into position and the entire seat pan is powder-coated for beauty and weatherproofing. The dimensions of the seat are as follows: Widest point: 11.5” Length: 14” Spring mounts, 7” on center The foam inside our upholstered solo seats is custom-molded, medium-density polyurethane padding—not a shapeless wedge of open-cell foam. What’s the difference? Ask your junk that question after a 150-mile ride. Our molded foam will hold its shape long after the cheap padding inside most solo seats has compressed into oblivion.

Biltwell 10" Struts - £104.00

Fri, 09 Jan 2009 05:34:09 -0500

These Struts were developed for Sportsters but could be used on any bike that will accept 10” eye to eye struts with 1/2” bores for shock bolts/studs. They are finished with a super durable black electroplate finish. Built from burly DOM tubing, sleeved and TIG welded for strength. You can install these yourself with a crescent wrench in about five minutes if you stop in the middle of the job to get another beer. Make sure you have enough clearance between your tire and fender/tailight wire, etc. Some Sportster models may require a little clearancing on the back side of the lower boss to make room for the axle nut and washer.

Biltwell Aces Bar - £68.00

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 07:44:05 -0400

This classic bend was designed by our friend Wes White at Four Aces Cycle in Pacoima, CA. With few exceptions, most handlebars are made of mild steel. Don’t get us wrong—mild steel has many great properties. It’s easy to bend, easy to weld, abundant and affordable. However, when compared to seamless 4130 chromoly, the load strength, tensile strength and bend resistance of mild steel falls far short of its high-tech brother. This might explain why ab crunchers are made out of mild steel and why small aircraft fuselages are made out of chromoly. No one ever plummeted 30,000 feet to their death when their sit-up machine took a shit. MATERIALS: Biltwell handlebars are precision crafted with 100% seamless 4130 chromoly. Depending on each bar’s size and design, the wall thickness of our tubing varies from 1.6mm to 2.0mm. These wall variances let us minimize weight without compromising strength. SURFACE FINISH: Biltwell handlebars feature a brilliant triple-plated chrome finish, or super durable, black electro-plate. Triple chrome plating involves coating our polished chromoly tubing in three materials: first layer: copper (fills in microscopic surface imperfections) second layer: nickel (increases surface durability) final layer: chrome (provides a rugged, easy-to-clean mirror finish) TIG WELDING: All the joints on our multi-piece bar designs are precision cut, mitered and TIG welded by hand. We don’t polish the welds on Biltwell handlebars. Any TIG beads as good-looking as ours should be front and center for everyone to enjoy. CUSTOM: Biltwell handlebars are not dimpled or drilled to accept original equipment throttle, brake and clutch assemblies. There are hundreds of handlebars available for bike builders who wish to use stock controls. Biltwell handlebars are designed for the custom builder who values strength and style over shade tree simplicity.

Triumph 650 Rebuild DVD with Wes White - £29.95

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 10:48:46 -0500

Lowbrow Customs & Four Aces Cycle have teamed up to release the new and improved Triumph 650 Rebuild DVD! This is a great tool for that next engine rebuild project: "On this comprehensive four-hour dvd, show-winning bike builder and acclaimed British motorcycle expert Wes White of Four Aces Cycle teaches engine teardown and step-by-step cleaning, inspection and reassembly in concise, easy-to-follow chapters. Professional mechanics and enthusiasts alike will find Wes's hard-earned shop secrets invaluable." Not only is this DVD perfect for your 650 c.c. or 750 c.c. Triumph motor, it is also very helpful for rebuilding your 500 c.c. or Pre Unit motor as well! Here's what Back Street Heros Magazine had to say about it TRIUMPH ENGINE REBUILDING DVD While you might not have done it before umpteen times and be in possession of a factory workshop manual, there's nothing like being shown an expert's own hints and tips on engine building. Whether you do this kind of thing for a living or you're attempting your first engine rebuild, you'll find that this DVD is as useful as a third hand. Even if you have no intention of ever rebuilding a 650 Triumph engine, you can watch this DVD and astound/bore people down the pub with your knowledge of how to strip and rebuild Meridan's finest. And, once studied thoroughly, you'll also be able to sidle up to any old duffer in a Belstaff at a classic bike rally and bore him shitless with Triumph Talk. Fucking priceless! The man with the spanners, the greasy fingers and the knowhow is Wes White, Triumph expert and proprietor of Four Aces Cycles in Pacoima, California. I haven't touched a Truimph motor for more than a few years and, after buying a 650 Bonnie recently in a fit of sentimentality, I'm sure that I'll find this DVD a godsend if I ever try riding this thing, as it's guaranteed to go bang at some point (all of my others did). I'll probably watch the DVD in its entirety when the time comes, but right now, I've sort of speed-watched through most of the chapters and it's obvious that this Wes White bloke really knows his stuff.
