Winter wrenching

Those who are only familiar with slide carburetors such as Mikuni or Dell'Orto will have a new experience with a Linkert on Harley models such as Knucklehead, Panhead, or Flathead: The throttle lever is not pulled, but pushed with a rigid wire. Modern custom throttle grips, on the other hand, work by pulling.
The Bates Throttle Conversion Kit makes it possible to combine pull-type throttle cables with Linkert carburetors. It relocates the pivot point so that the throttle cable is at the optimum angle. The throttle valve then closes automatically by means of a spring.
The kit fits all Linkert M-series carburetors with lever types from 1949–1965 (OEM 27260-49 or WW 65-265). Some adjustment may be necessary for accessory intake manifolds and clamps. Barnett throttle cables are recommended because of their excellent running characteristics.

Reproduction of the useful factory accessory which converts the cumbersome under-the-tank choke control to convenient dash control. The kit comprises all necessary parts for the conversion.

The Cannonball StealthStarter system converts your classic kickstart-only Harley-Davidson 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.,
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.

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.

Damn! Rolled past the bar again!
