We found the inspiration for this clean and classic document tube on the innerweb a couple years ago. We’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. Our timeless vessel will only set you back three Andy Jacksons—not bad for something so well built and practical.
Following their creed of supplying their customers with only the best parts and products available, Lowbrow Customs, located in northeast Ohio, is now the midwest distributor for Biltwell, Inc. The full range of helmets and parts are in stock and ready to ship. From the ¾ open-face helmets to custom exhaust building kits and solo seat pivots, Biltwell makes something you need. Lowbrow Customs is now accepting dealer applications, for more information please call or email tyler@lowbrowcustoms.com.
Hi Lisa. Thank you for posting about the release party. The Free To wander DVD release party was a huge success. The release party had a whirlwind vibe that I think was felt by all.

I became confused when I heard these terms with reference to the word ‘service’. Internal Revenue ‘Service’ U.S. Postal ‘Service’ Telephone ‘Service’ Cable ‘Service’ Civil ‘Service’ Customer ‘Service’ Nowadays what I notice is that ‘service’ doesn’t seem to mean what I thought it meant. But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to ‘service’ a few of his cows. BAM! It all came into focus. Now I understand what all those ‘service’ agencies are doing for us.

New Sportster® Motorcycle Takes the Stage with Aggressive Attitude We had the opportunity to see the Iron 883 up close at the Art of Rebellion Show in LA last weekend. What a beauty!!! Harley-Davidson Sportster motorcycles like the Iron 883 have stood against the grain since their introduction in 1957, when the modern rebel culture was being bred from restless veterans and hot rod pioneers. Sportster motorcycles became the starting point for many legendary choppers of the 1960s, while also getting pumped up for championship dirt racing and dare devil stunt riding in the 1970s.
The Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act of 2008 Could Be Devastating To All Joe Hawkins walked into his local dealership in Washington State, strolled up to the parts counter and told the salesman that he wanted to buy a throttle tube for this Kawasaki KLR650. He was told that couldn’t be done. Turns out the throttle tube on a KLR650 is the same as the throttle tube for a KX65. Huh? It all comes back to the recent legislation that imposes strict lead content guidelines on children’s toys. Kid’s toys, lead content… how does that relate to Hawkins and his Read More>>>
