Our thanks to co-founder Bill Bryant at California based Biltwell for this great picture of the company ' s M-8 hard parts line-up . Sometimes it can seem that its range of hard parts is a tad random , but far from it - there is system in their ergonomics , and if ever a picture told of a thousand custom combinations , then this is the one - " Hard Parts Made Easy ." " We ' ve made hard parts for Harley-Davidsons since day one ," says Bill . " Everything from pegs and seats to bars , risers and grips . When The Motor Company introduced its M-8-powered Softail , we dropped a full range of bolt-ons to help riders customize their machine ' s control center . " Engineered to improve ergonomics and handling , Biltwell Tracker bars and Murdock risers are a smart Big Twin upgrade . Accessories like our billet dash panel , utility mirrors and AlumiCore grips harmonize with Harley hand controls and digital speedos to complete the cockpit upgrade . The construction and appearance of these parts and accessories is rugged , performance oriented and super clean ."

Utility Mirrors
Utility mirrors mount to a wide range of stock and select aftermarket Harley hand controls with a single stainless steel button head Allen bolt - clean and simple .

Alumicore Grips

" After precision surface detailing and finishing , we install Thermoplastic Vulcanizate rubber sleeves on each grip for traction and comfort . TPV rubber is soft and compliant , but extremely durable and UV resistant ."
