Quality……

is like buying oats. If you want nice, clean, fresh oats, you must pay a fair price. However, if you can be satisfied with oats that have already been through the horse……
that comes a little cheaper!!

One of the things we certainly appreciate is when customers send us finished photos of their bikes with Licks products installed.  Dan Townsend is a loyal customer who sent us some photos of his 1999 XL which he converted to a bobber over the winter.  Dan installed the Licks hard-tail struts, jellie grips and one of our universal solo seats to complete the transformation of his stock Sportster to a personalized bad ass bobber…  nice job Dan..thank for the pics and the video…

Fully Stocked Line of Biltwell Parts and Accessories

We have all helmet colors available, exhaust builders kits,  seat pan kits and much more.

Ok here it is…..the deal of the century for all you do it a home bike builders. A complete selection of straight and mandrel-bent high-strength steel tubing, practically anyone with a hacksaw and a welder could make into some seriously cool one off pipes. If the focal point for your next bike includes handcrafting an original custom exhaust system for less than $200, the Biltwell Builder Exhaust Kit will get you started.

WHAT’S HERE: The Biltwell Builder Exhaust Kit is exactly what its name implies: a selection of pre-fabbed tubing, header flanges and exhaust tips that puts the art of custom exhaust building in the hands of backyard fabricators. Each Builder Exhaust Kit includes the following:

Two 16-inch-long (350mm) straight sections
Two 3.5-inch radius (90mm) U-bends with straights
Two 5-inch radius 134mm) U-bends with straights
Two Evolution cylinder flanges
Two Shovelhead cylinder flanges
Two Ironhead cylinder flanges
Two fishtail tips

In other words, everything you need to build a set of pipes for one bike, with enough scraps left over to start on two more. If you’re clever—and assuming your stable of projects includes the right combination of Harley motors—you could build three sets of pipes for less than 300 dollars. All it would take is a visit to the local muffler shop for a couple more feet of 1-3/4-inch steel tubing.

WHAT’S MISSING: This kit doesn’t include mounting tabs. You can fabricate these out of flat stock, or buy some at any good industrial hardware store. Snap rings and exhaust flange collars for Evo’s and Shovelheads are not included. You can pick these up at any swap meet or local shop.

SURFACE FINISH: All raw tube sections are pre-polished to make chroming after joint finishing easier. Of course, the welded joints will require polishing if you expect a show-quality appearance, but most customers simply paint their pipes or wrap them with hot-rod header tape.

The Biltwell Seat 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 TIG welded into position and the entire seat pan is powdercoated for beauty and weatherproofing.

The foam solo seat insert 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. The Biltwell molded foam will hold its shape long after the cheap padding inside most solo seats has compressed into oblivion.

Biltwell Raw Seat Pan with Foam features:

• Heavy gauge stamped steel construction
• Sculpted indents increase stiffness & strength
• Molded polyurethane foam padding
• Designed for the custom leather crafter
