Home of the good stuff

Let's keep your vintage Harley going: here at W&W we have a warehouse filled with parts to repair, restore, maintain, customize or hop up your Big Twin (Flathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Evo) or Sportster (K-Model, Ironhead, Evo). We also store a large selection of parts for pre-war IOE Harley-Davidsons.

The story of W&W Cycles kick started more than 40 years ago when a bunch of friends were tired of the hassle of sourcing HD parts on the German market. With patience and a fair amount of German stubbornness they scoured the globe and got just the parts they wanted. Word got around, and friends, and friends of friends, and friends of friends' friends jumped at the opportunity to order parts for their own Harleys.

Since the early 1990s W&W Cycles has been involved in Harley racing activities and spectacular adventure journeys on vintage and custom Harley-Davidsons.

Today we have 20.000 parts ready for fast shipping to the U.S. (with average delivery times of 48-72 hrs) These express parcels (up to 66 lb) will set you back around $ 85,00

To ensure hassle free global service we speak English, Español, Français, Italiano, Deutsch and 日本語

Cannonball StealthStarter SSK-R Kick Drive Rigid Frame

Cannonball StealthStarter SSK-R Kick Drive Rigid Frame

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 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 extentended throwout bearing M U S T be ordered seperately for your type of clutch pushrod since the stock pushrod will be 19 mm too short.,
A longer brake crossover shaft will be necessary on all bikes using the original mechanical rear brake in conjunction with the original 2-1 or similar exhaust. A longer crossover shaft can be ordered separately if needed. , Original rear fenders need to be slightly dented for starter motor clearance. Alternatively, an aluminum “Dent” can be ordered separately. In this case the fender needs to be cut out to allow the “dent” to be mounted with the original lower fender mount bolt and the two oil tank/battery tray bolts.,

Cannonball Big Twin Flathead Crankcases Kits with Cams and Gear Cover

Cannonball Big Twin Flathead Crankcases Kits with Cams and Gear Cover

The main challenge during restoration and assembly of Flathead engines is the exchange and alignment of the bushings in the right crankcase and the gear cover. Nine bronze bushings need to be installed and line reamed to ensure that four cams and the pinion shaft with its gears turn smoothly. This is a major task and requires several special reamers, which your average workshop does not have. The problem increases when case and cover were not factory matched.
These Cannonball cases for 1937-1948 Big Twin Flatheads feature a pre-fitted gear cover with all bushings and pins installed and are line bored for a set of Andrews cam gears, which are also included. This work is performed in Germany on a coordinate line boring machine, which is superior to reaming. The cover also has its flutter valve and spring-loaded oil separator seal ring installed. All this will cut the working time for the complete engine assembly at least in half and guarantees a quietly running motor, just as if assembled in Milwaukee, provided that the remaining valve train is in good order, too.

Cannonball Aluminum Cylinder Heads for Knucklehead

Cannonball Aluminum Cylinder Heads for Knucklehead

Precise reproductions of stock Knucklehead cylinder heads, cast from aluminum. Besides the significant weight savings of approx. 4 kg per head they dissipate heat much better than their cast iron counterparts. They are manufactured after 1940-1947 heads with large intake ports. The valve seats are pre-installed, but unmachined and sized for stock intake and exhaust valves. They are hardened for the use of today’s unleaded fuels. Steel inserts for the head bolts feature factory threads. The heads show all the small details like cast-in number tags and foundry markings, so they make for excellent stock replacements or for building a performance engine with factory look when you camouflage them with black paint.

The Cyclery IOE Cylinders

These accurate reproductions are cast from state-of-the-art alloys to modern specs and stand up to all horsepowers you can pack on an IOE lower end. Now you can finally have both that stock factory look and a safe engine. Racers around the globe use them with great success since years. Sold as pairs only.

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 beariings. The builder has to consider rake, trail, overall chassis geometry, brake function, etc.

Cannonball Leaf Spring Forks

Cannonball Leaf Spring Forks

The retro custom bike builder scene sometimes likes to experiment with parts of different brands on the same bike project. For example Indian parts are installed on Harleys and vice versa, with often astonishing results. Among the most positive mergings was the combination of an Indian leaf-spring fork with an H-D Big Twin rigid frame. This type of fork was used by the Wigwam in the 1910 to 1945 period which proves that this was a very successful suspension principle with excellent driving chracteristics.
Of course, the stock item doesn´t fit a Harley frame without major alterations, so W&W decided to produce its own version which allows such an installation without many difficulties. But, of course, not another quick and dirty copy with ugly welding seams and wrong rocker geometry. The Cannonball fork is a professionaly made part with a design as close as possible to its original pattern, manufactured by expert craftsmen in Italy. The first complete prototype was rigorously tested during W&W’s winter tour in Northern Canada and after that sent to the German technical authorities for a certificate of stability (included). Both tests were passed without any flaws. After that production started.
All test rides were performed with a rigid frame, 30° neck chassis, with which both handling and braking characteristics proved well balanced and stable.
The Cannonball leaf spring fork features a fork stem with two Ø1” bearing seats for the use of 1949-up Timken bearings and leg tops to accept the 36-up Springer handlebars (inline). A horizontal bracket to mount the headlamp is also there. The fork is wide enough to accept disc brake or drum brake systems. Rockers are drilled for 17 mm axles but can be enlarged to 19 mm. Neither axle, spacers nor brake are included and must be purchased or fabricated separately. Each fork is shipped preassembled to insure proper function and fitment, however, all components are bare and require painting or plating.

The Cyclery Mesinger No. 3 Solo Seats

The Cyclery Mesinger No. 3 Solo Seats

Excellent reproduction of the famous Mesinger No.3 Cushion Suspension seat which was used from 1925 thru 1933 on Indian and Harley twins as well as by Excelsior-Henderson on their 1929 thru 1931 KJ models. This saddle’s top has a freely suspended center section which is adjustable by means of the front tensioner screw, a feature that makes the Mesinger No.3 one of the most comfortable solo seats of them all. Luckily it fits all large saddle tees 1934-up so it can be easily retro-fitted on later models. The saddle top is made of top quality genuine leather and sports the stamped Mesinger logo just like the the original pattern.

The Cyclery 1934-1939 Style Solo Seats

The Cyclery 1934-1939 Style Solo Seats

Faithful reproductions of the H-D Solo Seats with non-vented (= undrilled) seat pan and open, unrolled edges as it was original 1934-1939. Just like the factory counterparts they feature thin stuffing for slim appearance. Another nice detail is the patent stamp on the bottom leather strip. These seats sport excellent craftsmanship and top quality leather.

Bates Heritage Solo Seats

Bates Heritage Solo Seats

An almost iconic custom part of the past is the Bates solo seat. Sleek looking and easy to mount it was and is the seat of choice for many choppers and bobbers. These reproductions are meticulously made after the period accessories, with no detail left out. This means the detachable leather cover is fixed to the correctly fabricated and zinc-plated base plate with Phillips screws and countersunk washers.

Cannonball Lane Splitter Leaf Spring Handlebars

Cannonball Lane Splitter Leaf Spring Handlebars

Erwin "Cannonball" Baker would have liked these unusual handlebars during his grueling transcontinental rides in the 1920’s and in fact the design derives from this era when the first leaf spring handlebars were installed on motorcycles. The idea was to take some vibration out of the bars and add some flexibility when hitting bumps or potholes. However, we admit that you cannot expect too much in that sense. What the Cannonball bars can offer are stability and a unique style. They are made by a skilled craftsman in very limited numbers in a small manufacture in Italy so you definitely won’t see them often on other bikes. Choose from narrow Lane Splitter or wide El Jefe handlebars. All versions feature 1” Ø tubular ends to accept common controls and grips and a 2-hole fixture to mount custom headlamp/instrument brackets. Mounting hardware is not included and must be purchased separately.

Bates Baja 13 Handlebars

No matter if you race at the Baja California 1000 or if you’re on a short trip to the nearby stone quarry, your Bates Baja bars will be ready for it. And on asphalt, too, they cut a fine figure, respectively the rider, as the Bates Baja bars provide a relaxed and upright seating postion. As you would expect from offroad handlebars they feature a cross bar which does not only give additional strength but also comes in handy to mount a GPS system, map holder, accessory bag, etc.

MAG-12 Wheels for Mechanical Drum Brake 1936-1966

MAG-12 Wheels for Mechanical Drum Brake 1936-1966

If you’re serious about wrenching your Harley, you’ll always be looking for that special part that makes all the difference. Introducing the legendary Mag Wheel.
When in the 60s car drag racing started to move from being a pastime of a few aficionados to serious motor sport, equipment got ever more important. Among other things lightweight and truly round wheels capable of taking hard loads got popular. And there it was, the magical wheel, the dragster front wheel, cast from magnesium alloy. It was called mag wheel. Not long, and the first chopper jocks tried to bolt these wheels to their rides. A favorite ever since: the 12 spoke variety.
The mag wheels of yore with their respective sizes of 15” and 18” are extremely rare by now and about as easy to find as an Ironhead Sportster that starts on the first kick. Even if one of those beauties can be unearthed, it should be clear that time has never stopped nibbling away at the metal — and the task of making them compatible with Harley brakes and axles is another story.
That’s why W&W had the Cannonball MAG-12 wheels cast using the latest technology and state-of-the-art aluminum alloys which guarantee long-term trouble-free service. The hub design was changed, too, in that it accepts special adapters which allow for the installation of common H-D drum and disc brake systems.
The Cannonball MAG-12 takes its styling cues from the originals, but is certified to take loads of 350 kg per wheel, and engineered to be compatible with a variety of Harley brake and sprocket setups. The available sizes of 16” and 19” give a wide scope of application for that next custom project.
Choose from wheels with a barrel polished or MAG finish. For the latter the barrel polished wheels are finely bead-blasted to achieve a dull magnesium-like appearance.

Cannonball WR Style Gas Tanks

Cannonball WR Style Gas Tanks

Racing style gas tanks for Big Twins shaped after the legendary WR model tanks of the late forties and early fifties. The beautiful narrow design and excellent European craftsmanship really stand out in the crowd. Each set is completely handmade by experts. Unlike the original WR pattern these tanks are supposed to contain gas in both halves.
To avoid an unsightly gap between engine and gas tanks our WR Style tanks are model specific and sit close to the motor which looks purpose-built instead of universal.
