Performance Times

    Wanna ditch that dB reducer for some extra rumble? Or maybe you don't have it installed, and your neighbor gave you "the look" as you left this morning at 7 for work and rumbled past - we get it.

    The M8 engine is a powerhouse, but a low idle combined with a plugged up exhaust conspire to mute the true sounds of freedom this machine was designed to roar. 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. Now long gone, they are still a hot commodity for in-the-know chopper builders and have inspired the latest air cleaner from...

    Complete Big Bore and Cam Chest in One Kit!

         We recently embarked back to the motherland of tacos for the third annual Roland Sands Design Moto Beach Classic at Bolsa Chica State Beach, California.

    Big power can push even the most unexpected parts to their limits and the Rocker Arm Studs in the M8 engines are high on that list. S&S Cycle is the go-to for big power and is obviously an expert on the details that make sure it’s reliable. “The rocker arm stands on the M8 heads are a weak spot,...

    S&S Cycle’s El Dorado performance exhaust system is a 50 state legal high flow exhaust designed around our 4.5” Mufflers and stainless steel Header. Street legal fitment for 2017-2019 Harley-Davidson® M8 powered touring models. The El Dorado is a complete system that includes Power Tune headers and...

         We made our way back to sunny California in a swirl of daydreams beckoning us near…salty beach air, motorcycles, tacos, and more motorcycles. ’Twas the end of June which meant one of our favorite events of the year was under way, the Born Free Show.

    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!

    Every year, the crew here at S&S takes the short drive across the state to Milwaukee for one of our favorite shows, the Mama Tried Motorcycle Show and Flat Out Friday. This year we had a little more weather than usual, but nothing will stop us from checking out some of the best custom motorcycles...

    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...
