Experimental Features

A New Era in Bike Travel Ever since we founded W&W Cycles some 46 years ago we, always pushing the envelope, sometimes reached points where wrenching, cutting, welding and even cussing and cursing were not enough to overcome seemingly intractable problems. For example: going on holiday on your Harley. There never seems to be enough room for your favourite brew, your trusty iron griddle for those perfect pancakes, your must-have mustard for your steak. What about your electric toothbrush and its charger? Who wants to leave their dumbbells for the daily crunch-up home? There’s so much you just can’t bear to not have around at your destination: the camping spot in perfect solitude at the end of the world. Talking about tents: what about your solar fridge, the inflatable canoe, the fishing tackle and the pop-up lathe for those minor repair jobs on the way … the list is seemingly endless.

Home Office Evolution For a few weeks now we’ve been testing new methods of remote work here at W&W: Up till now working on a Harley was possible only with the wrencher’s bodily presence right beside the bike on the lift. However, modern life has seen employers embracing a good work / life balance for their hard-working employees. Working from home can be an important step towards reaching that goal. Thanks to remote work the modern man can operate the washing machine, ferry the kids around, and put the empty almond drink cartons in the recycling bin. And vice versa.
All very nice and so on, but when somebody’s Panhead kicker doesn’t kick or their Sporty’s tail light goes phut, someone’s got to put a wrench to the problem. Too bad the bike sits miles away in the garage or in your employer’s shop, necessitating a two hour commute on your part. In times of AI practical solutions to this problem should be within reach, and we’ve already got one, just a few prompts away.
A Lucky Find with Global Potential. Sorting through the baskets with left over parts from our 1928 Harley Model J in our basement, we discovered a convolute of papers in an old saddlebag. On closer examination we found it to be a couple of well-preserved patents dating from 1903.

Wuerzburg, D/Fredericksburg, TX
W&W CEO (chief e-fuel officer) Babe "Babe" Babeson announced this Saturday the launch of W&W's new e-fuel homebrewing program. As of 4/1/2023, all Harley Davidson motorcycles ever produced must comply with EU Regulation EN 6979. As a solution, W&W Skunkwerks have developed a simple kit that Harley afiçionados around the world can use to keep their vintage machines on the road. E-fuels are known to be distilled from pure electricity into regular gasoline. This process is now available to home brewers out there where gas stations are scarce and the roads are dusty.
The kit now available consists of six Harley pan covers, a few feet of copper tubing, a bottle of catalyst fluid, and a nice wooden stand (your choice of American oak or walnut). Simply build a stack of the pan covers (screws included), connect the copper tubing diagonally counterclockwise according to the included instructions, plug the bottom pan cover into any 12v outlet, pour the cataclysmic converter fluid into the automatic trickle device on top, open a beer, and wait a few minutes. The gasoline collects in the bottom pan (no smoking!) and can be transferred directly into your motorcycle's tank using the transfer device (included).
Kits are available for pre-order today, starting at $1,400.99. Cheers!

After sorting out vintage IOE models with the latest firmware last year, this year we have gone where no home wrencher has gone before: PanAm presents the first ever lubricant for electric motorcycles.

PanAm EML will wrap the negative charge electrons with a flux-positive viscous plasma, which shields them from the buffer effect by adjacent electrons, thus reducing inner resistance by up to 42%.

PanAm EML can be introduced into the high voltage wiring via the LiveWire’s multi-dock and spreads among the electromagnetically charged particles of your e-propulsion system with reverse gradient speed.

In our extensive field tests we demonstrated an improved range of around 10 %, and a slightly better charging speed at the charging port between midnight and 3 in the morning. Also recuperation is up by one quarter.

Our in house e-scientist Wattilda Voltson: "After a couple of bench tests I woke up one morning and just knew, that we could game-change electromobility, if we could minimize the electron-induced secondary friction in the current flux. After a few weeks in our PanAm testing lab we had proof – EML has the potential to become the E 621 among electric drive consumables!"

Our specially formulated lubricant with 14% more real electrons for everything powered by electricity. APR-iL 1 certification (multispin compatible) heavy duty e-lubricant. Certified for the use with cataclysmic converters.

We have been running the app in beta version (v 0.42) for a few weeks now. By utilizing direct contact electron resonance it will be able to monitor spin flux and rotation inside the motor in real time, just like a conventional rev counter or pressure gauge. It’s also IOT ready via WiFi and Bluetooth.

The development resulted in three variants: 84-466 PanAm EML Silver E-Surfer Electric Motor Oil 1 kWh with Super Power for e-bike users over 40, fully-synthelectrodic, 42 kWh, 84-467 PanAm EML Millennium Red Electric Motor Oil 1 kWh comes in a stylish package to brighten up any home, semi-electrodic, double electron-count, 1.4 kWh, 84-468 PanAm EML Morphomatic Electric Motor Oil 1 kWh comes in a decorative flip-flop color scheme, reverse electrodic, monospinadaptive, 1 kWh,
All three variants correspond to the specification HDLW 22-0401 APR IL-1/42

Performance e-oils must be able to take maximum punishment by micro black holes and current surges. The high spin count in our favourite brand’s e-motors degrades internal battery fields more than in legacy e-propulsion systems.

PanAm e-oil is manufactured in Germany completely proton-free, using only the best base kiloWatthours on the market. The intricate outer ribbing in the LiveWire’s powerblock ensures specially formatted electrons, with autosynthesized outer field additives for grade A maximalisation. Baaam!

For the first time in over a century Harley-Davidson (in cooperation with W&W) rolls out a firmware update for all Harley-Davidson twin motorcycles.

This long overdue update will fix common bugs such as bad starting on cold mornings, bad starting when hot, overheating on hot days in slow traffic, speed wobbles on gravel roads at elevated speeds, bad road holding due to absence of meaningful shock absorbers, wonky brakes and a few dozen minor bugs like carb fires and exploding cylinder heads.

Our Big Data department and D.O.C. (Department of Customization) are proud to present the results of their recent cooperation: the state of the art way of two-wheeled transportation many have been waiting for.
Self-Ride’n’Go v1.4 (SRG 1.4) It’s an AI/App based autonomous driving functionality now available for Harleys from 1914 on. (Magneto equipped bikes may have to be retrofitted with some extra electronic components to counter the heavy electro-magnetic pulses emitted by the mother module)
But, let’s take a look at
the many advantages: Let your bike drive itself, while you attend to more urgent business., Your ol’ lady wants a ride, but you have a gearbox to fix? With Self-ride’n’Go you can send her off to the nail studio all on her own., Your bros want to go on a run to the mountains, but you decide staying at the beach is a far better option after last night’s party?,

If you've been North of the Polar Circle, you know the situation: Buy a bottle of liquor, or buy a tank full of gas. Which is bad for the vacation budget. UNTIL TODAY!
As we like to see our scandinavian friends in spite of the inhospitable alcohol prices in their mother country, and also like to celebrate our common Harley madness with a drink or two, we toiled away in our underground research labs to produce the ultimate solution for the customs friendly transport of high octane booze. We named it the Bates BAR HANGER.

The tap's orientation is optimized for the bike's „park“ position on its side stand. An extension tube for better targetting your personal fluid container (tent mode) will be available shortly.

A cable driven proof meter for better control of the alhoholic content will be available from 4/1/19 (smartphone app included).

Versions black thru '41, cleared with customs thru '41, black from '41, cleared with customs from '41,

WURST CASE SCENARIO. Who hasn’t felt the pangs of hunger when in the middle of a really long run? The rumbling emissions and the constant vibrations of the big twin engine mean an under-the-radar stress situation for your body tissues that can lead to a sudden cholesterol and fat deficit. Diet-induced phases of weakness are a real danger for traffic and personal health.

You probably already have on board the usual safety vest, proof of insurance, trailer with essential spare parts, flare pistol and a life raft. This latest item of safety equipment is a must-have for the safety conscious: The BratGuard. Easy to snap on, this gizmo is the solution to provide, whenever you need it, some well grilled, tasty, crispy sustenance of saturated fats, cholesterol, flavour enhancers and curing salts to keep you going. The fully variable (by way of the throttle cable) temperature control is an added feature not found on similar products. To be announced soon in our product line: “SoyGuard” for vegetarian and vegan products!

Even the most ambitious cafe racer build will‎ hit the feared WEIGHT WALL: A Harley is no featherweight, and even without much accessories is usually a quarter ton of hardware.
The result can be a marked loss ‎of nimbleness. Until today.
Thanks to our indepth research in the Harley archives‎ (see events/2015/a day at the museum) we are proud to have unearthed a lost Harley patent. In the early days of hill climbing the Factory had project "Tractorlifter" going. (see historic photography)
Only some patent office red tape prevented the granting of this ground breaking patent.
We're happy to announce that we were able to refine this old concept with a German supplier of rare gases‎. State of the art container technology makes an hitherto unknown feeling of lightness available to friends of the American heavies.

Picture yourself in the middle of the night on a lone moonlit highway out in the boondocks of Sweden. It‘s three in the morning, the last gas stop is already slipping from your vibration filled brain, the transparent hoses you custom installed on the outside of your tank are invisible in the pitch black darkness, and you’re desperately trying to figure out if you have enough of the precious liquid in your fatbob tanks to make it to the only all-night gas station this side of the polar circle, still over a hundred kilometers away.

Well, stop worrying right now. Here’s the all-new WIRELESS TANK FUEL-O-METER (WTF) app by W&W. Simply scan the QR code below with your smart phone and follow the instructions. The app will need a few basic settings (engine displacement, type of camshaft, vehicle weight) and the selection of one of five zones of wind resistance (moped, dirt bike, road bike, chopper, bagger). The smart phones’ inbuilt accelerometer will take it from there, and, using the road profile derived from your GPS coordinates the algorithm will calculate the real time fuel flow with amazing accuracy. It will even tell you the nearest gas station, the current gas prices and the beer brands on sale. The app is compatible with iOS 7.x up as well as Android 2.x up. Sorry, no Blackberry for the moment.

The app is available for immediate beta test release from april first. There are no hidden costs.

Newsflash: W&W have started work on their new catalog for 2015. Since some customers had trouble with the cinemascope format of last year's catalog next year's edition will be in an even more revolutionary format:

It's way cool and super useful at the same time: Under the tin cover there's a centre hole, making it possible to use the catalog as a spare wheel (16"). A tire is not necessary due to the good grip of the recycled paper used. Max speed for this "Cat-Wheel" is 85 kph, independent of language version.

De nouveaux caches en acier spécial Zero-Op(acity). Utilisé jusqu’à présent uniquement dans l’aéronautique militaire (technologie Stealth). Par le biais d’une petite entreprise américaine, nous avons réussi à nous procurer ces caches pour un tout premier usage civil. Ils rendent les pièces ainsi masquées transparentes et donnent à la moto une légèreté esthétique, même dans le cas de modèles massifs et de transfos sur bases de full dresser ou de baggers.

Pour le moment, ils ne sont disponibles que pour les années modèles d’après 1985. La livraison pourra débuter dès qu’on aura trouvé ces foutus caches sur les étagères de notre section de pièces invisibles.

Prochainement au programme :
Des casques en X-treme Clarity, pour un effet de surprise dans le trafic urbain : ils rendent invisible la tête du motard.

Remarque :
Pour le montage des caches X-treme Clarity, il est nécessaire de porter des lunettes spéciales à convertisseur catalytique.
