The almost invisible Cannonball electric start kit for rigid frame Big Twins converts classic kickstart-only models to electric start. The primary housing, oil tank and rear fender require just modest modifications to be retained; the transmission with its stock kickstarter stays untouched.
The kit includes everything needed for the conversion except for the battery, wires and starter button/switch. If the bike is still equipped with the early stock 6V charging system, this will have to be converted to 12V, which means a suitable generator, coil and lamps need to be fitted. Detailed, step-by-step instructions are included; the kit is intended for the use with primary chain drive.
W&W recommends the use of Antigravity 12-cell or 16-cell batteries – “these have enough power and perfectly fit the provided tray and clamp. The kit fits Knucklehead and Panhead Big Twins 1936 - 1957.
Hydraulic Springer brake
This Cannonball hydraulic version of the factory Springer fork brake is said to deliver better stopping power than the Duplex brake on 1936-1948 Big Twins, 1941-1957 Servi Cars and WLCs with 12mm master cylinders.
Behind the stock looking backing plate hides a master cylinder which activates the brake shoes and significantly improves the brake’s performance. The kit includes a complete, pre-installed backing plate and a new brake drum. Handlebar brake controls, brake line and fittings available separately.
Bates ‘Kill Bill’ battery switches
Terminal and thumb screw assembly which can be mounted on any suitable place on the motorcycle. It connects the battery’s ground (negative) terminal and cable with the frame. After installation you have two options: use the ‘Kill Bill’ switch like an ignition switch - half a turn out and the current is interrupted; or use it as protection from manipulation and theft by removing the thumb screw to disconnect the battery from the electrical system.
The Cannonball MAG-12 cast aluminum wheel selection was expanded recently by the addition of 2.5 x 19” versions with hubs for FX and Sportster Narrow Glide forks. For the complete selection with all details visit wwag.com.
