Bel Air
Designed to look good on all kinds of cafe racers,
choppers and bobbers, the nostalgic appearance of
these Euro 4 approved 12BV ‘Eldorado’, ‘Bel Air’ and
‘Big Fin’ taillights by Motone Customs in the UK
hides a full SMD-LED circuit board which works as
running light, brake, and number plate illumination
through a window on the underside of the cast
aluminium housing. The sturdy housing mounts
directly with two studs to all flat surfaces, or with an
optional bracket; available polished, black (painted)
or bead blasted. The ‘Eldorado’ measures 35mm
deep by 62 mm high; ‘Bel Air’ is 51 mm deep by 62
mm wide, ‘Big Fin’ is 39 mm deep by 9 2mm wide.
Also seen here this 62 mm by 62 mm cast aluminium
mounting bracket with gasket and hardware
supplied allows the Motone lights to be attached to
a curved surface; also available polished, black
(painted) or bead blasted.

Jack Tracey racing
windshields
These W&W ‘Cyclery’
brand IOE Front and
rear hubs Rear Hubs
(1916-27 and 1915-
29 respectively) are
reproductions of the
original
hub
assemblies. Complete
with all internal components installed - just requiring
paint or plating before final installation - they are to
be used with stock type brake drums and sprockets.
Also seen here are Swedish made stainless steel
spokes for IOE models.
Prism fuel valves
According to W&W Cycles “it is said that back in the
late 1940s a man named Jack Tracey decided to make
windscreens for the WR race bikes at Daytona. Unlike
anything else available at that time, he cast the main
part from aluminum - with just a small clear window.
On the long stretches of the Daytona beach race
course the rider could tuck behind it for that extra
mile per hour.” These reproductions are faithful
copies of the period part. Installation is universal and
requires individual clamps and corresponding
hardware to be made or obtained.
Hanson roll-up windshields
Another “blast from the past”, the Hanson roll-up
windshield appeared on the accessory scene in the
late 1940s. The story goes like this: when the weather
is nice you enjoy the breeze in your face and when it
turns bad you wish you had some protection. So
what to do? With the ‘Hanson’ you could have it both
ways - in its lowered position the screen tucks on the
handlebars, but rolled-up it provides wind protection
(at speeds below 70mph). Made in steel,
polycarbonate and black vinyl.
AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE DEALER - FEBRUARY 2018
These small petcocks fit direct to
either a 1/4” or 3/8” NPT bung on
the gas tank for a clean look. They
feature a 5/16” diameter hose
barb on one end and a fuel filter
on the other. The fuel is toggled on
and off by rotating the cylindrical
piece with the two grooves - the
fuel line will not rotate while doing
so - there is no reserve. Available
in polished stainless steel or brass.
WR Daytona oil tanks for
45”/750 cc Flatheads
On long distance
races like the
Daytona 200
the small WR
gas tanks meant
several gas stops
and consequently
lost time. So the H-D
Race
department
decided to use both tank
halves for gas and even
enlarge them to 5 gallons. The oil
went under the seat in a special cast
aluminum oil tank. WRs didn’t have a battery so this
space wasn’t used anyway. This is a faithful cast
aluminum reproduction of the original WR race bike
part and will fit all 1937-1952 45”/750 cc Flathead
solo bikes with magneto ignition. Installation
requires hardware to be made or obtained; available
bare or sand blasted.
