Zodiac International

Zodiac goes big on 45 parts inventory

IN association with retro, veteran and vintage bike parts specialist Samwel Supplies, Zodiac International has put together a big selection of replacement and upgrade parts, accessories, service components and consumables for Harley 45s.



These fishtail mufflers bolt straight onto the stock front pipes of the 750 Civilian Solo model. Available in black or chrome finish, they fit all 1932 through 1952 45Cl Sidevalves except Servicar. 



The straight pipe muffler is a faithful reproduction of the original found on 1950 through 1952 45Cl Sidevalve models, but also fits 1932 through 1949 models. Available in chrome or black finish, it fits straight onto stock and stock-style aftermarket front pipes.

 




The front drum brake on early Big Twin and 45Cl models is notorious for its lack of stopping power. The double cam or "duplex" brake seen here has a close-to-stock-look design, with two leading shoes consequently providing better stopping power. The kit includes brake drum, brake drum cover, brake shoes, springs and cams. It fits 1936 through 1948 Big Twins and 1941 through 1957 WLC and Servicar.



These belt drive kits fit inside the stock primary cover of all 45Cl Solo, Servicar and sidecar models. The kit includes front and rear belt pulley and matching belt. Zodiac say these belt drives "run smooth and clean" and that they strongly recommend installing these belt drive kits in conjunction with their clutch bearing BigFix kit (also seen here).

 


For stock 3-speed gearbox conversions into 4-speeds, the complete kit seen here fits into the stock transmission housing - the only change is a minor one in the transmission end cover.

 



Finally, Zodiac also offers a full range of replacement seat and luggage reproductions, including a brown leather solo seat, pebble brown leather saddlebags - and for those seeking the authentic original military spec a brown leather submachine gun scabbard with matching bracket and ammunition box.
