These upsweep end tips can be attached to all mufflers with a 1-7/8" outlet tube where they are fixed with a clamp. (Not in the scope of delivery)

This charging system features a forged steel rotor with a thicker spline for better sprocket shaft engagement. The magnets are encapsulated in a protective barrier to resist vibrations. The kit further includes a high performance stator and a voltage regulator in black. After installation the system provides an increased output of 32 amps (stock on some 1989-up Evo models) for heavily accessorized motorcycles.

These genuine Morris classics are for purists and feature a simple built-in auto advance and manual retard to prevent nasty kick-backs. Easy installation without fin grinding or smashing in pushrod covers. An O-ring on the drive shaft tube prevents oil leaks.

Sprockets for Harleys that are machined from a tempered aluminium. This material is tougher than steel and of course much lighter to save on unsprung weight, so these sprockets are the choice of sport riders.

A few more extra ponies for that old Big Flathead won’t hurt and you will get them fairly easy with a set of these ULR cylinder heads, made from cast aluminum. While looking quite original on the outside they feature an advanced combustion chamber design for improved combustion and breathing. Chamber volume is 100 cc, giving 6.1:1 compression on a 74” and 6.5:1 on an 80” motor. Substantially more material allows for custom milling and pop-up pistons. Another update are the 14mm sparkplug threads (3/4” long) for modern and more common plugs.
Dyno tests showed 18% more power and 13% torque increase over a stock 1946 UL with medium compression heads, just by swapping over to ULR heads! Check out the dyno diagram! These are true rear wheel numbers, power was up big time and torque curve is impressive! Remember, torque is the most important figure with flatheads!

Sometimes it's the little things in life that make the difference. Like this inconspicuous T-nut by Bates.
If you want to mount a sissy bar on Big Twin rigid frames 1936-1957, this is usually done at the mounting holes for the fender braces, which are located on the axle plates. The original mounting bolts are pushed through the axle plate from behind and secured from the front with a fairly large nut (wrench size: 5/8"). The problem is on the one hand, due to lack of space and mounting bolt length, the complete rear wheel as well as the brake base plate must be removed and on the other hand that the nut mounted from the outside leaves a rather bulky impression.
Bates T-nuts can be placed into the axle plate without removing the rear wheel and brake base plate. Additionally they are threaded, so the sissy bar can be mounted with a fairly plain 5/16“-24 screw. This gives the Harley-Davidson Chopper a much cleaner look. Two flats allow you to hold on to the T-nut with a 9/16“ open-end-wrench during installation.

These minimalist mechanical brake pedals with pre-assembled mounting plates bolt directly to Big Twin frames and are ideal for chopper conversions. Designed for Big Twins 1936-1957 but can be used on later models with minor spacing applied. Oil-impregnated bushing and the CNC-machined shaft and spool ensure perfect function and accuracy of fit. A screw-in and replaceable stop-pin that is recommended to be installed to the brake pedal shaft with red Loctite, serves as a hidden positive and negative stop.

Reproduction of the oil bath air filter used in the Harley-Davidson WLA and WLC models of the US and Canadian Army. Efficient cleaning of the intake air is particularly important during operations in the field, as dirt particles sucked into the engine increase wear and cause material failure. This is detrimental to combat capability. To keep the risk of failure as low as possible, all military motorcycles were equipped with oil bath air filters.
Original filters of this type clean the air sucked in by the engine by guiding the air flow over the surface of an oil sump at the bottom of the air filter bowl. In doing so, dirt particles adhere to the surface of the oil. Unlike the original oil bath air filters, which work with a wire mesh and oil, the The Cyclery air cleaner reproduction kit is supplied with a paper filter element and used without oil!
In appearance, this is the early “louvered” version of the short, round oil bath air cleaner, fitted with an open inlet slot. This version was used on 42WLA Type I-A, the first 42WLA Type I-B and 42WLC models. The later 42WLA Type I-B were already supplied with the “full-covered” version of the short, round oil bath air filter.

These cleanly manufactured minimalist footshift levers with pre-assembled mounting plates bolt directly to Big Twin 4-speed frames and provide the perfect chopper look.
An oil-impregnated bushing and the CNC-machined shaft and spool, ensure perfect function and accuracy of fit. For 1970→ models, a spacer is required to compensate for the — comparede to pre 70 models wider engine and primary. A rubber shifter peg is part of delivery.

This high-quality reproduction of the standard 2in4 exhaust system from 1929 was manufactured exactly according to the model of the rare original system, whereby great care was taken to perfect fitment and attention to details. The exhaust system consists of front and rear pipes, mufflers and the necessary clamps.

Timer covers by Bates with domed and ribbed design. The five polished ribs and the cast-in Bates “B” in the center provide a high-quality and individual look.

These cleanly manufactured minimalist suicide footclutch pedals bolt directly to Big Twin 4-speed frames and provide the perfect chopper look. An oil-impregnated bushing and the CNC-machined shaft and spool ensure correct function and accuracy of fit. The supplied stop-pin, which is screwed onto the shaft and thus serves as a hidden stop, should be fixed with red Loctite.

You like weekend trips, but no tiring backpacks? The SpeedFire C.R.A.B. (Cargo Restrain Anchors for Bungees) solves this problem. It bolts under the seat and provides four lateral anchor points for Bungee cords (two of them are included). Now you can securely strap down your bag and gear in seconds and you are ready to roll.

HVT gel battery means: You get a charged and ready-to-use battery delivered. Modern technology ensures that the plate packs are packed very tightly and fitted precisely into the cells. The gel-bonded electrolyte makes the battery leak-proof and it can also be installed at an angle (up to 90° is possible). The cold start currents are much higher compared to similar batteries and the battery is very vibration resistant. The HVT gel batteries are maintenance-free. In spite of all these advantages and positive characteristics, we recommend disconnecting the battery during longer idle periods and checking the charge status every 2 to 3 months. Those who do not want to or cannot disconnect the battery because of an alarm system should check the state of charge once a month and recharge.

Remember those high sissy bars of the 60es and70es? With taillights and number-plates placed so high that one could see the whole rear tire? Junior's cites this design with his version of a Lucas Style taillight: A flat polished sheet base with a Lucas 525 Style lens attached to it directly that protrudes just by 7/8” under a 1” visor. Space-saving LED boards make this possible. Due to limited space and dimensions the taillight has no license plate illumination, of course.

Reproductions of the push-pull shut-off assemblies which feature tips made from Viton rubber material for superior sealing of your fuel valve. Viton is resistent to all gas pump fuels and provides a long service life.

Outstanding reproductions of the spiral color coils that were offered as accessory items by Harley-Davidson from 1955 onwards. Primarily used to beautify brake and clutch cables, they were also used to conceal old or worn out control coils. They quickly coil over cables and will surprise you with the new retro-look they give to your Harley-Davidson. Fit also to ignition or throttle cables.

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.

Damn! Rolled past the bar again!
If you are looking for significantly more stopping power, you should consider replacing your classic drum brake system with a disc brake.
After extensive 3D simulations on the computer and countless test kilometers on any terrain, we can now rightly claim that this brake meets our high requirements.
This kit developped by Cannonball converts Harley-Davidson models with Big Twin, Servi-car or WLC Springer forks from drum brake to disc brake. Each kit includes a dual piston caliper with pads, caliper bracket, 10” disc rotor, brake anchor, wheel hub adapter, and all small parts necessary for final assembly. Brake lines and handlebar master cylinder are not included and must be ordered separately.
Kits that are delivered without axle reuse the OEM axle (pls see article details).
