We all know these pitiable riders of older seat-post equipped Harley-Davidson twins that drive around hunkered on week seat-post supported solo saddles or — if they count among the light-weight fellows — jump on their seats on every bump. Old worn seat posts almost never support the rider the right way. And yet it would be a simple task to adjust the seat-post — basically. Colony's seat-post spring selections offer you a solution to this task. The springs are color-coded and an instruction sheet is included. They're available for most 750es and Big Twins of the 30es - 80es. Of course, your seat-post bushing in the frame tube top must be in good order and well greased, and the seat-post has to have the right amount of clearance.

For decades, "The Legend Begins" has been the reference book for older and very old Harley-Davidson motorcycles. This book counts not so much with brightly coloured photos of shiny motorcycles but is a scrupulous listing of every model that was available for public sale from 1903-1969. Model designations, color schemes and (from 1920 on) factory order forms with all the available engine configurations listed.
We here at W&W Cycles kept our copy in the archives and yes, tabs on it. And we've been using it over and over. For, for over a decade, the good old hardcover edition was no longer available. We're all the happier that we can offer you this softcover reprint.

These spacing shims are necessary to precisely distance the play of the drive gear on the breaker shaft. They ensure correct positioning and guarantee reliable operation of the ignition system on classic Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

This classic Eaton Style gas cap is designed for Harley-Davidson vintage and antique motorcycles. It matches the design from the years 1941 to 1954, featuring a rim height of 18 mm. For models from 1955 to 1972, the gas cap height was reduced to 13 mm. Additionally, starting in 1965, a non-vented gas cap was used on the left side to prevent fuel overflow.

This charging harness with SAE plug allows you to recharge the battery on your Harley-Davidson without having to remove the battery. The cable with charge level monitor can be quickly connected to standard chargers and is attached directly and permanently to the battery terminals with two eyelets. A weatherproof cap makes the system robust against moisture, dust and corrosion. A 15A flat plug fuse protects against excessive current.
The integrated charge level monitor continuously displays the charge status of your motorcycle battery. During the charging process, the LED lights up permanently to indicate the active charging process or possible overvoltage. In standby mode, the LED flashes every 3 seconds to indicate the current battery status. The flashing serves as a protective function to prevent the battery from discharging.

A Harley Legend in a Shoebox 20250811ws: Back in stock week 42 2025
If the world had known Instagram in 1932, the Wickline family probably wouldn’t have had the time to share their high speed family life: when the day was done working on their Botetourt County, Virginia farm, CT Wickline went right over to his small workshop. This was the place where he worked on his hopped up Harley-Davidsons, always looking forward to the next race he was going to take part in. His means and methods were simple, his ambition was sky high – and his ingenuity knew no bounds.
Almost 100 years later a happy accident brought this remarkable history back into the light of day. When Trey Burnart Hall, great-grandson of CT Wickline, had Thomas H. Rakes over for a chat, Thomas stumbled across a black and white photo of a little girl next to a Knucklehead Harley, sitting on a shelf. A few quick questions later Trey had produced an old shoe box brimming with ancient family history photos, and a bunch of Harley-Davidson racing history as well. This was the starting point of the "Wickline Project".
The two buddies realized pretty quick that this find was more than just the story of a farmer who was part-time wrenching motorcycles in his barn. CT’s passion and his eye for detail had led to innovations that even the Harley Racing dept was profiting off. His bikes were winning races – hill climbs, dirt track races, and early drag races. In his time CT’s bikes set standards and inspired wrenchers and racers along the whole East Coast.
His wife Happy was his happy match in all this. An avid motorcyclist herself, she organized events, brought people together and did her part to grow the Harley racing scene in Virginia and beyond. Legend even has it that the Wicklines’ efforts helped to get the Daytona Bike Week off the start line.
What an incredible archive: countless black and white photos of races, of wrenching, of family life – an history of boundless enthusiasm for motorcycles and what they can do best: be loud, be fast. Thomas H. Rakes’ and Trey Burnart Hall’s book tells this story with photos of Harleys at top speed, shedding burning rubber and billowing dust galore. Proof that the Wicklines are still on the road. On Instagram, in this book, and in the hearts of Harley aficionados worldwide.

This speedo senser hole plug is ideal if the speedometer sensor is no longer required. Compared to other solutions with steel plate and a gasket, the Cannonball speedo sensor plug offers a clean solution made of billet aluminum and an O-ring that provides a reliable seal. A countersunk hex socket screw provides even more clearance when installing the SSK-R Kick Drive starter for BAKER 6-in-4 gearboxes.

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.

This fitting is soldered or welded into the inner steel primary chain guards of Big Twins 1936-1964 so the drain pipe can be mounted.
