Black Yes! Friday No!

Black Yes! Friday No!

Black is badass, black is sleek, black is beautiful. It won’t make you rich though, however black you paint the week’s days.

But who are we to spoil the fun: We’re gonna throw our best black stuff right here into our Black Friday basket, just without some dramatically lowered prices we had jacked up sky high before.

Talking about drama: if you need true nerve-wracking suspense, check out our ongoing "Low Ridin’ Prices" dept. The prices there are incrementally lowered, chopped, diminished, and / or shrunk every week by 10%, until somebody snaps them up.

Hint: often enough the stuff IS black, but the day when prices are lowered is WEDNESDAY, every Wednesday, always. Sorry Friday …

Bates Tuck & Roll 2

This means the detachable leather cover is fixed to the correctly fabricated and zinc-plated base plate with Phillips screws and countersunk washers.

Bates BattBoy 65

Bates BattBoy 65

Modern gel or Li-Ion batteries offer a significant advantage - they are leak-proof. Those who ever experienced spilled acid in the battery tray, on the frame, on the swingarm, etc. will highly appreciate this fact. On the other hand, owners of classic bikes do like the looks of their original energy store and the corresponding cover and mounts. With a Bates BattBoy Battery Box you can have the best of both worlds, because what looks like a period 32 amp 12V accumulator on the outside can house a safe, modern battery within. Just hook it with two eyelet wires to the terminals on the bottom of the lid and you are all set. When using suitable Antigravity versions you even have storage room left for a few small spare parts, safety vest, emergency beer, etc. Ain't this one heck of a cool solution for an old problem?

Bates BattBoy HM5

Bates BattBoy HM5

Modern gel or Li-Ion batteries offer a significant advantage - they are leak-proof. Those who ever experienced spilled acid in their horseshoe oil tanks will highly appreciate this fact. On the other hand, owners of classic bikes do like the looks of their original energy store and the corresponding cover and mounts. With a Bates BattBoy Battery Box you can have the best of both worlds, because what looks like a period type HM5 6V accumulator on the outside can house a safe, modern battery within. Just hook it with two eyelet wires to the terminals on the bottom of the lid and you are all set. Perfect for 6 to 12 volts electrical system conversions, too. When using suitable Antigravity versions you even have some storage room left for a few small spare parts, safety vest, Cuban cigars, etc. Ain't this one heck of a cool solution for an old problem?

Cycle Electric Generators 65A Type 12V

Cycle Electric Generators 65A Type 12V

Reproductions of stock H-D generators 1958→ with matchless build quality. The connections between armature winding and commutator are spot-welded instead of being soldered, for a more positive and longer lasting bond. The insulating material of the armature is genuine maple hardwood, instead of the usual paper insulation. These generators are 100% reliable wherever the road leads you.
Available as stock replacement for 58 and 65A type generators used on 1958→ models or as a conversion for 1932 - 1957 models, where the earlier 32E 3-brush generator was factory equipment.
This conversion generator has, contrary to the stock 1958→ 58 and 65A type generators, ¼"-24 mounting bolts just like the stock 32E generator and can be used on 1932-1957 models without modification.
Both versions utilize the later style 1958→ armature, which works on 1932-1957 and 1958→ cases. The later style 1958→ (eg WW 13-710) sprocket must be used. The →1957 armature sprocket can NOT be used. Likewise, oil deflector plates and regulators 1958→ must be used. The engine drive gears can remain unchanged.

Cannonball I-Beam Springer Forks

Cannonball I-Beam Springer Forks

Once upon a time when there weren’t any custom parts you could buy from your local shop, the VL fork was a very popular item because it made your Knuckle or Panhead bobber different from the next guy’s scooter. Besides you gained half an inch of length compared to 1936-up Springer forks for improved ground clearance and a more stretched look. Now it’s time to revive those days of the golden 40’s and 50’s with the Cannonball version of H-D’s VL type fork.
Manufactured just like the original, which means I-beams and connecting braces are drop forged on a huge 10 meter forge hammer. This is the only procedure that guarantees these components stand up to the job.
The problems with installing the OEM fork were the large fork stem and the handlebar mounting so the Cannonball fork is modified here. It features a Ø1” fork stem that works with the included centering collar for 1936-up ball bearings. Moreover the stem also features two Ø1” bearing seats for the use of Big Twin tapered roller bearings without any modifications. The leg tops accept the 36-up Springer inline handlebars. This makes installation a snap compared to the original counterpart.
Certificate of stability for 4-speed Big Twins thru 1986. Length is measured from axle center line to seat of lower steering head bearing.
Although these Custom forks are intended for 1936-1957 rigid frame Big Twins they can be mounted with later frames, too, provided you have/install matching frame head bearings. The builder has to consider rake, trail, overall chassis geometry, brake function, etc.

Bates Baja Skid Plate

Bates Baja Skid Plate

Leaving the road on your Sporty you risk the underbody of your bike being rock blasted by nasty gravel particles. There are ruts and potholes just waiting to scrape your frame. Fallen tree branches, beetles, manure – many dangers for the nether parts of your bike are lurking out there. Good for the motorcyclist who can defy them with the BATES Skid Plate for Sportsters. Easy to install, this beauty protects frame and engine from encounters of the unexpected kind. If you see a certain similarity between this skid plate and the LeBeef skid plate we can tell you: they are not only similar, they’re virtually identical and are designed to the same level of toughness, but they’re made of lightweight aluminium. LeBeef keeps supplying us with his handmade steel skid plates; by agreement with LeBeef we source the aluminium version where it is being made to our high quality standards to earn the right to bear the BATES name.
For adventurous Sportster riders who keep an eye on the weight of things (usually that of their bike), this skid plate could be a welcome alternative. Friends of steely stuff will continue to find the original version from Sweden in our catalog.

Bull Original Boat Tail Section

Bull Original Boat Tail Section

One of the most unique designs ever created in Milwaukee’s Juneau Avenue, drawn by Willie G. Davidson by the way, is the seat fender combination of 1971 Super Glides and Sportsters. Its distinctive shape with integral round taillight soon earned it the nickname "Boat tail" but production ran for only one year which today makes it a highly sought after rarity.
The boat tail seat-fender offered here picks up on this idea and adapts the design to current Sportster models. It features a paintable, black coated surface and includes a checkered pleat seat pad. Installation is straightforward with no need to modify the stock frame.

Made from tough cowhide leather, with three front straps and chrome buckles to close them.

Wrecking Crew T-Shirt Sparkin Hot

Wrecking Crew T-Shirt Sparkin Hot

Wrecking Crew T-Shirt Artist Edition #2:
Charlie Lecach: „Sparkin' hot“ Charlie Lecach is what you could call a multi motorista: He’s driving his hot rod up and down the Cote d’ Azur, and is wearing down his blue jeans and his tools with and around motorcycles. He’s been writing for the international bike press about bike history for the last 30 years, and has been translating every W&W text into immaculate French for almost the same time. If he doesn’t spend his evenings in his private museum filled with rare Harley & Indian themed photos, mementos and collectibles, he also swings a mean pen to come up with illustrations such as this one of a 1947 WLR prototype racer, as ridden by his personal friend and Harley racing legend Leo J. Anthony. In this instance, the rider is a #5 H-D racing spark plug though :)

The "Wrecking Crew Artist Edition" T-shirt series is a campaign featuring artists from all over the world and their very personal interpretations of the "WRECKING CREW" brand and the mindset that goes with it.
Of course, it's not a coincidence that this is all about Harley-Davidsons - and all other classic motorcycle brands.
Ultimately, Wrecking Crew stands for the simple fun of riding motorcycles on the roads of this world, off-road, on flat tracks ... and the joy of fixing, building and designing bikes. Not forgetting the events and the friendships that grow from them. In short: it's all about what is now called custom culture.
The motifs on these T-shirts are designed exclusively for the Wrecking Crew label. The artists come from all areas of fine art and "motorcycle culture": Illustration, tattoo art, pin-striping, painting, photography, AI, design, writing ...
Only high-quality, classic T-shirts of the best cotton quality are used, which are elaborately printed using screen printing technology, with up to 6 colours on the front and back, each as a limited edition of only 100 (one hundred).
Three editions are already available in the W&W store:

Edition 1: "Never Stop Kicking" by Matt Wilkins, aka "Matt Sabbath", a Londoner living in Barcelona with an Instagram channel and 18,000 followers

Edition 2, "Sparking Hot" by Charlie Lecach, Nice, France, long-time specialist author for motorcycle magazines and collector of historic Harley-Davidson objects

Edition 3, ‘Grim Reaper’ by Jeral ‘Artboy’ Tidwell, Californian from Kentucky (or vice versa). As the middle name suggests: likes to play with art.

The next motifs are already in the pipeline being sketched, sprayed, pinstriped, crocheted, welded, what have you ...

PanAm Vintage II Tool Kits

PanAm Vintage II Tool Kits

After forty years in the saddles of Harley-Davidsons, on long hauls, short trips and race tracks, eventually, we have compiled a tool set, which is the must-have combination to perform routine maintenance works and on-the-road emergency repairs. Even on the PanAm Tool Kit was, basically unchanged, part of the equipment we had stashed into the saddlebags. Chain tensioning (primary and secondary), plug changes, oil change, points ignition timing, valve adjusting - for any job, which naturally occurs during long trips, there is exactly the right tool. No compromises. This also counts for quality, because every single component of this kit is a class A tool by renowned manufacturers like Bahco, Walter or Knipex. Admittedly, this ends up a bit more expensive but, on the other hand, this kit is a once-in-a-liftime purchase.
