For the past five years, the goal of Baron’s Custom Accessories has been to produce the finest line of motorcycle accessories in the world for the Yamaha Star line of motorcycles. According to Baron’s President, John Vaughn-Chaldy, told us that the company’s goal is “to give them [the customers] the ability to make something that they are proud of better, or to give them the ability to make a personal statement is tremendously satisfying.” Currently, Baron’s makes over 300 different parts for Yamaha cruisers from footboards to fenders to cams, and soon they are preparing to release new products for Honda, Kawasaki, and Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

Baron’s signature product is the Big Air Kit, an accessory designed to create an increase in horsepower and give a 10% to 15% increase in torque, but that’s not the only advantage to having a Big Air Kit; it makes any bike look great! Each BAK is also custom made including the exact jets needed by each customer, even taking into account any changes made to a bike such as custom exhaust or different ignition. They even take into consideration the altitude where the bike is ridden!

John also told us that “if you can use only the bike’s factory tool kit to be able to install the product, then we’re doing our job to the best of our ability.” Even though John remains the “idea guy” for Baron’s Custom Accessories, he is quick to give credit to a talented and dedicated staff who love motorcycles, and who turn ideas into products that work. That type of pride and craftsmanship is what keeps the customers coming back for more. Also at the core of Baron’s philosophy is the thought of “how can we make that product easily understandable and installable for the customer,” and by the end of our conversation, John cited two more reasons for the success of the company and their products: (1) everything is bolt on, and (2) the products give a radical custom look without the demand of high maintenance products. With those products, and with that type of positive attitude and dedication it is easy to see why the formula is working.
