The Cannonball StealthStarter system converts your classic kickstart-only motorcycle to electric start. After installation you just push the button or turn the key to fire up your classic Big Twin.

The Cannonball SSK electric start system bolts between kicker cover and transmission case. The stock kick starter can be retained. Due to the system’s low profile, only ¾” (19 mm) wide construction the overall appearance of your motorcycle will remain virtually unchanged. Primary drive, primary housing and oil tank will stay untouched.

Installation is fairly easy and straightforward. The kit includes everything needed for the conversion except for the extended throwout bearing, battery, wires and starter button/switch.

If the bike is still equipped with an early stock 6 V electrical system, you will have to convert this to 12 V. Depending on the configuration some other options are available separately.

Since the kicker cover moves 19 mm to the right the following modifications may be necessary:

  • A stock 2-1 exhaust system will have to be routed slightly outward to compensate for the offset of the kicker cover.
  • A longer clutch release lever will be necessary on rod actuated configurations like Moustraps or Footclutch. A longer lever can be ordered seperately if needed.
  • A extended throwout bearing must be ordered seperately for your type of clutch pushrod since the stock pushrod will be 19 mm too short.

In case your bike uses the older 47698-58A transmission mounting plate with the extension for the primary adjuster screw, the extension needs to be removed or our Cannonball SSK-S transmission mounting plate needs to be used.

CB Cannonball Starter Systems Batteries

CB SSK Starter Patent

Under protection of patent PCT/EP2019/063121.

Start in neutral only!

Just like on a kickstart system, the Cannonball SSK System starts the engine by turning the transmission mainshaft. And just like on a kickstart system you must never actuate the starter with the bike in gear. If you do so the starter motor will move the bike forcefully forward even if the clutch is disengaged.

This can be avoided however by wiring the starter button through the neutral switch, which is highly recommended.

Cannonball SSK-S Transmission Base Plates

Cannonball SSK-S Transmission Base Plates

Bullet-proof version of the stock 1965-1985 transmission mounting plate which is guaranteed not to bend or flex. Precisely cut from high quality S 355 construction steel, with 2 square front holes to work with carriage bolts (stock equipment 1977→). Unlike original plates it is machined out of one solid piece of steel to provide extra rigidness. The two-window design makes it compatible with pre-1965 transmssions, too. However, you will require a custom primary chain tensioner in these applications. Recommended when using a Cannonball SSK-S electric start system or a high performance engine.

12V Antigravity AG-1201/12-Cell Small Case Lithium Ion Batteries

12V Antigravity AG-1201/12-Cell Small Case Lithium Ion Batteries

The Antigravity "Small Case" lithium ion batteries offer the most power and performance in the most compact size. They can be used as ultra-light battery for race vehicles to save space and weight, or for fitting into Custom and Performance motorcycles which require a small battery that keeps the look and at the same time delivers enough power to turn the starter. Can hold a charge up to a year provided there are no permanent drains, i.e. accessories that draw power when the bike is off, such as alarms, ECUs, GPS, clocks etc. Antigravity Small Case batteries can be installed in any orientation, feature unbreakable brass terminals and come in different power levels....
