We get that and created the GNX slip-ons with one thing in mind and that’s belting out the flag-waving, eagle flying song of the American...

    We heard S&S Cycle this one under wraps for a hot minute and are finally ready to set it free. The S&S R&D team took their proven 2:1 SuperStreet exhaust internals and finally ported them over to the Sportster platform. None of the shorty system fluff that kills the power, they are here for the...

    Originally conceived by S&S founder George Smith, the Classic Two Throat carb and matched air cleaner served as a performance milestone in the v-twin space for over a decade.

    Our popular Grand National muffler apps now include the latest generation of HD® Softail® models and we're now adding a lower dollar slash cut version as well. Expect a legit v-twin exhaust note and a healthy bump in Hp and torque (91Hp and 113lb/ft!). Available in chrome or ceramic coated black...

    Until recently, performance exhaust and 50 state legal have been mutually exclusive features forcing a rider to choose between making power and making sure factory warranties were not impacted. We say those days are behind us. Welcome to the new world order of high performance that marries a real...

    We were back again in St. Paul, Minnesota for a weekend of fun at the second annual War of the Twins indoor flattrack race as well as the thirty-second annual Dennis Kirk Donnie Smith Bike Show the following day. Here is a little recap of some of the bar banging action and custom bike goodness!

    Arguably the most recognized big twin air cleaner on the planet, the classic Teardrop just got better! Combining the S&S Cycle High-Flow Stealth air cleaner platform (up to 6hp gain on M8!) with the iconic Teardrop cover, S&S Cycle has created the very best of both worlds for the 1999-2019 Harley...

    We love power, raw unadulterated thumping, makes your heart skip a beat kind of power and that’s the very stuff we do best. Our latest for the Milwaukee Eight® powered Harley-Davidson® models is certain proof of this obsession. Bolt in 124 Cubic Inch (that’s over 2000cc for you metric folks) Big...

    S&S doesn’t build anything unless it makes power and the SuperStreet does exactly that with 86hp (+15%) and 110 lb./ft. Torque (+10%) out of the new generation of M8 Softail® models. Add to that, the perfect length and angle, clearing bags, passenger pegs and forwards, plus an adjustable exhaust...
