Baron Custom Accessories

About Baron Custom Accessories

Baron Custom Accessories has been a trusted name in the motorcycle customization world since its founding in 1997 by John "Baron" Vaughan-Chaldy — a craftsman who first picked up a wrench to customize motorcycles back in 1974. With roots in vintage car restoration and boat racing, Vaughan-Chaldy brought a uniquely performance-driven and aesthetic sensibility to motorcycle parts, and that philosophy still defines every Baron product today.

Headquartered in Huntington Beach, California, Baron Custom Accessories specializes in parts and accessories engineered specifically for metric and standard cruiser riders. Whether you ride a Yamaha V-Star, a Honda VTX, a Kawasaki Vulcan, a Suzuki Boulevard, or a Harley-Davidson, Baron has developed model-specific components designed to fit precisely and perform flawlessly. Their catalog spans everything from ergonomic controls and styling upgrades to genuine performance enhancements.

Performance That Goes Beyond Looks

Baron is perhaps best known in the cruiser community for its air filter solutions — particularly the Big Air Kit (BAK) line. These high-flow intake systems combine an enhanced filter element with a purpose-built backing plate to measurably improve airflow volume and velocity through a V-Twin engine, translating directly to more usable horsepower and torque. The BAK line also carries a distinctively clean, billet-style look that complements any cruiser engine bay.

On the drivetrain side, Baron's pulleys are a favorite among riders looking to fine-tune their bike's final drive ratio. By swapping to a Baron Power Pulley, cruiser owners can lower their engine RPM at highway speeds — reducing mechanical stress and improving overall rideability without sacrificing low-end grunt.

Ergonomics & Custom Styling

For riders who want to reshape their cockpit, Baron offers an impressive range of handlebars spanning styles from relaxed touring bends to bold ape hangers — each offered in model-specific fitments that eliminate guesswork. Complementing the handlebar lineup, Baron's handlebar risers — including the iconic Kickback Risers and the versatile Liner Pullback series — allow riders to fine-tune reach and height for a truly personalized riding position.

To tie it all together visually, Baron produces a broad selection of engine covers, including cam covers, ignition covers, mini teardrop-style accent pieces, and cylinder covers. Crafted from quality materials and available in chrome and other finishes, these covers let riders dress up their engine bays with the same attention to detail that defines the rest of the Baron catalog.

What sets Baron Custom Accessories apart is the combination of model-specific fitment engineering and genuine rider passion behind every SKU. From the first Power Pulley to the latest Big Air Kit variant, each product reflects decades of hands-on experience building and riding cruisers. For riders who refuse to compromise between form and function, Baron Custom Accessories remains a go-to source for parts that look great and actually work.
