When a legend is not enough
When a legend is not enough: Take the next step Because every journey
Every journey begins with the first step and when it comes to your motorcycle, those steps to better performance are crucial. If you have a new bike and are considering performance modifications, the expense can seem pretty daunting. But it doesn’t have to be! Divide your performance journey in smaller steps – we recommend four of them! S&S® offers a sequence of performance upgrades that can help you go fast and will fit any budget. The idea is to install some key
components that will give you more power right now. Later, install additional parts that will produce even more power. As additional steps are taken, the parts already installed will complement the parts that come with later steps. No need to remove or replace the components already installed! Each step builds on the previous one. You can build up to a respectable level of performance without making a large investment all at one time And of course, this way, you always have something to look forward to…the next step!

S&S® Teardrop Classic look,
One of the most recognizable shapes in the industry! Genuine S&S teardrop air cleaners have special features like the uniquely designed backplate with air horn style radiused entryway and the dimpled cover with air directional cone on the inside. This design helps maximize airflow by giving intake air an efficient, easy path to follow into the carburetor or throttle body. And the beauty of it all is that the S&S teardrop air cleaner is also available to fit stock Tillotson®, Bendix® and Keihin® butterfly, CV carbs, or any carb with the same air cleaner mounting bolt pattern. There are even kits that fit stock single throat EFI throttle bodies used on 2001 Harley-Davidson® Softail® and all 2002-up EFI models.
Features and Benefits • Uniquely designed back plate has air horn style radiused entryway to reduce turbulence • Dimpled cover with directional air cone on inside creates smooth path for airflow • Great addition to performance exhaust or cams

The easiest way to improve the performance of a stock Harley-Davidson® motorcycle is to install a set of free flowing, high performance slip-on mufflers. Not only will you make more power, you’ll even sound fast. To go one better, the combination of slip-on performance exhaust and an S&S high flow air cleaner makes even more power. The low price and easy installation makes this combo the first step most riders take toward better performance. S&S has slip-on mufflers and air cleaners for most late model bikes, and has just introduced a new line of touring mufflers for 1995-up baggers. Go fast, look good, sound great!

Gain Up to 15 horsepower over stock!* Step 2 involves more serious changes as we move inside the engine. Select the camshaft that gives you the specific performance you want. What kind of power do you need? Want more mid-range torque? Looking for top end power? S&S offers a wide selection of camshaft profiles — from bolt-in performance to high lift radical power, we have what you need to go from mild to wild! S&S does recommend that a qualified dealer install your camshafts and perform the necessary fuel delivery calibration changes. Save time and money by upgrading your pushrods at the same time. S&S Quickee pushrod kits have specially designed adjusters that permit quick installation with minimal Chain Drive Cam Kit

S&S® EASY START
HARD STARTING IS OBSOLETE! Start any engine regardless of displacement or compression ratio, with a stock starter. Easy Start Cams from S&S® Cycle make hard starting obsolete for 1999-up big twins. Available in economical chain drive and rock-solid gear drive versions. Don’t get caught “dead” without them!
Features and Benefits • Start any engine with a stock starter • Save your starter and battery! • Reliable – tested for 100,000 accumulative starts and over 150,000 road miles without breakage or compression release failure! • Automatic – no buttons to push
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
The compression release lobe reduces compression until the engine starts.
1
Each of the two exhaust cam lobes are equipped with a spring loaded compression release lobe on the “heel” of the cam at the point where the valve would normally be fully closed.
2
The lobe holds the exhaust valve open slightly at cranking speed. This releases some of the compression, making the engine much easier to crank.
3
Once the engine starts, and rpm increases, the compression release lobe is centrifugally retracted and the engine runs normally, with full compression, and without any loss in performance. This allows a stock starter and battery to start nearly any engine.
See the Easy Start cams crank test video at sscycle.com/media
Reduces cranking compression – easier on starting system!
Increased rpm causes the compression release lobe to be centrifugally retracted so the engine runs normally.

THREE MOST POPULAR GRINDS Performance cams for all RPM ranges. The three design targets were low end torque for touring, peak horsepower and a cam that would offer the best possible combination between torque and horsepower. The 551 emerged as the touring cam and the 583 is a great over all cam. The proven 585 posted the best results for peak horsepower. These are bolt-in cams for 2005-up big twins. 1999-’04 engines require S&S valve springs.
551 Torque Cam • • •
Optimized for a 2007-up 96 to 106 CID touring bike with slip-on mufflers and 9.0 to 10.0:1 compression Best bolt-in cam available for dressers Pulls hard from idle to 4000 rpm
583 Midrange Cam • • •
Optimized for use as a great over-all cam in the Softail®/Dyna® lines, but can be used in any 2007-up big twin model Provides strong low end torque and horsepower that you can really feel Strongest from 1500-5000 in a Softail/Dyna application
585 Horsepower Cam • •
Optimized for a 2007-up Softail or 2006-up Dyna 96 to 106 CID with slip-on mufflers, high flow air filter and 9.0 to 10.5:1 compression Great results from 3000-6000 rpm
NOTE: These cams were optimized for use with stock head pipes and performance slip-on mufflers.

S&S® Quickee
Got time for a quickee? Sometimes one thing leads to another. Originally, S&S developed a pushrod with a new type of adjuster for use with the S&S late style tappet guides for shovelhead engines. Since we didn’t want to have to pull the heads to change pushrods, we had to come up with a design that allowed installation and removal by just opening the pushrod covers. No need to remove the gas tank or the rocker covers. OEM pushrods may be cut to permit removal without rocker disassembly. The threaded adjuster screws into the pushrod until the threads disengage and the adjuster simply slides into the pushrod, making installation or removal a snap. Once the pushrod is installed and adjusted, the locknut prevents the adjuster from moving. We call these pushrods Quickee’s. . . because they save time! Convenient Pushrod and Cover Kit For 1999-up Big Twins 1984-’99 style pushrod covers are required for access to the Quickee Pushrod adjusters in 1999-up big twins. This convenient kit (106-6051) for Harley-Davidson® Twin Cam 88® and Twin Cam 96™ engines contains everything you need - Quickee pushrods, tappet cover gaskets, and a set of pushrod covers. See chart for pushrods only.

NOTES:
S&S Quickee pushrods are designed for use with 1984-up hydraulic tappets. They are not compatible with stock or aftermarket hydraulic tappets for shovelhead engines or most solid style tappets. 1984-’99 style pushrod covers are required for access to the Quickee Pushrod adjusters in 1999-up big twins. There is a convenient kit (106-6051) for Harley-Davidson® Twin Cam 88® and Twin Cam 96™ engines that contains the pushrods, tappet cover gaskets, and a set of pushrod covers. That makes it easy to do a Quickee.

Gain Up to 24 horsepower over stock!* Are you ready for Step 3? We’re talking up to 24 horsepower over stock* by increasing the displacement of your engine — up the size of your 88" to 97" or a 96" to 106". The S&S 97" and 106" Big Bore kit gives bolt-on performance that doesn’t have to cost a lot. This is a serious increase for the power enthusiast! It isn’t even necessary to modify your flywheels or crankcase! This sizeable displacement increase is just another economical step to increase the performance of your ride. Dealer installation is recommended. Re-calibration and injector upgrading may be required. *Horsepower gains require components in previous steps

Step 3 big bor 16
This dyno chart shows a stock 2009 FLHT compared to the same bike with an S&S 106" Big Bore Kit, along with the set of S&S slip-on bagger mufflers, a teardrop air cleaner, and a set of S&S 551 cams installed in steps 1 and 2. This combination is extremely useful for bagger applications because of the great increase in torque. For lighter bikes, or if more horsepower is your goal, the 585 cam will result in somewhat less torque, but more horsepower.

S&S® 97" & 106" MAKE MORE POWER!
Make the most of displacement, it is as easy as it gets, with no need to rebalance flywheels, bore crankcases, or bore cylinders. Increasing displacement is one of the most popular ways to get more power, but displacement alone is not enough. To make the most of the extra cubic inches from the S&S top end kits, we recommend high performance intake, exhaust, and camshafts also be installed. Low price and easy installation make these kits the most economical way to increase the size of your engine!

This dyno chart shows the increases in torque and horsepower available from a 106" Big Bore Kit. In stock trim, the 2007 Harley-Davidson® FLSTF made a respectable 65 horsepower and 85 ft/lb of torque at the stock displacement of 96". The same bike with the 106" Top End Big Bore Kit, S&S 585 cams, and S&S mufflers made 98 horsepower and an incredible 110 ft/lb of torque. All that power without splitting the cases!
This dyno chart shows a before and after on a 2006 Harley-Davidson® FLHR. The stock 88" engine made 64.6 horsepower and 74.3 ft/lb of torque. After the installation of a 97" Big Bore Kit, an S&S teardrop air cleaner, and S&S exhaust, two sets of cams were run to show how the engine can be tailored for the type of riding you do. The 551 cams make this a torquey engine, perfect for touring and city driving. The 585 cams make a little less torque, but provide lots more top end power and more usable rpm range.
SPECIAL NOTES: S&S® highly recommends installing a performance cam for easier starting and better engine performance. S&S high flow cylinder heads will provide further horsepower gains and are machined for installation of manual/electric compression releases.

Gain Up to 40 horsepower over stock!* It’s said that nobody remembers who finished second. How do you want to be remembered? Get ready for step 4! With CNC ported heads, you can realize up to 40 horsepower over stock*. S&S has developed a high flowing port design that will alter the way your heads perform. S&S includes a valve spring upgrade with every CNC ported service. Choose the right spring force for your application — available in .585" and .650" lifts. Exchange your cylinder heads or have yours reworked – either way, you are maximizing the performance gains from the displacement increase made in Step 3. Dealer installation is recommended. EFI tuning is recommended using S&S VFI modules, Harley-Davidson® Race Tuner or Dynojet® Power Commander®. Larger injectors are also required. *Horsepower gains require components in previous steps

The CNC Difference The dyno chart compares a stock 2009 FLHT (black curves) with the same bike after an S&S 106" Big Bore Kit, 585 cams and S&S slip on mufflers, and an S&S teardrop AC were installed (blue curves). The top (red curves) show the same engine after the heads were CNC ported and a 58mm throttle body was installed. Both 106" engines perform much better than stock, and are pretty comparable to each other until about 3500 rpm. At that point the engine with CNC heads continues to increase in torque and horsepower because it can still get enough air.

Choose The Right Cam For You This dyno chart compares a stock 96" 2009 FLHT on the same bike with an S&S 106"
Big Bore Kit with CNC ported heads, S&S slip-on mufflers, performance intake, and two
different cams. The blue curves represent the 106 with S&S 551 touring cams and S&S teardrop air cleaner on the stock 50mm throttle body. Great torque for performance touring applications. The red curves show the S&S 585 cams with a 58mm throttle body. The increased duration of the 585 reduces low and midrange torque, but the combination of more aggressive valve timing, higher lift and a larger throttle body significantly increases usable rpm and top end horsepower. A good choice for lighter bikes and racing applications. Both engines were tuned with Screamin' Eagle® Race Tuner.

CNC PORTED CYLINDER HEADS
LET S&S® CNC PORT YOUR STOCK HEADS An economical way to get a substantial horsepower increase while maintaining a stock appearance. S&S has developed high flowing intake port, exhaust port, and combustion chamber shapes for stock cylinder heads. S&S then digitally reproduces them in a stock head casting with our 5-axis CNC machining centers. After CNC porting, heads are assembled with new one-piece, forged racing grade stainless steel alloy, valves, valve guides and high performance, conical single coil high silicon alloy valve springs.
Fitment ❚❚ Available for 1999-up big twin engines ❚❚ Ideal for 95" - 106" engines
Features and Benefits
This photo shows the S&S CNC machined intake port before the valve guide is installed. Notice the raised vane ahead of the valve guide hole. The purpose of this vane is to split the air stream ahead of the valve guide to reduce turbulence and increase flow.
❚❚ CNC machined ports for a consistent performance increase from stock heads ❚❚ Great throttle response, high velocity port without losing low RPM torque ❚❚ Assembled with performance valves and springs • Choice of .585" or .650" lift valve springs ❚❚ Slight increase in compression
Service options ❚❚ Exchange Service • CNC ported heads are available for immediate delivery, core charge of $450 per set must be paid • Stock heads sent to S&S • Core charge credited if customer's returned heads pass inspection (see notes) • No turn-around delay ❚❚ Rework Service • Stock heads sent to S&S • Get the same set of heads back with CNC machined ports • The best option for heads with a special cosmetic treatment • Allow 2 week turn-around ❚❚ Custom CNC Port Duplication • S&S can digitize your port design and machine it in your heads, ask an S&S customer service representative for details
Digitized S&S port shapes are faithfully reproduced in any stock Harley-Davidson® cylinder head on our 5-Axis CNC machining center. Intake port, exhaust port and combustion chamber are all modified. This head will be assembled with new forged stainless steel valves and high lift valve springs to complete the package.

Notes: • Only cylinder heads that are in good condition and have “like new” appearance, may be exchanged. Heads with superficial damage, peeling or discolored paint, or other cosmetic alterations are not acceptable for exchange, but may be reworked. Rework will take slightly longer than exchange service. Customer will be contacted to review options if heads do not pass inspection. • CNC porting is not available for previously ported heads, heads that have been structurally damaged, or heads that are determined to be unserviceable during initial inspection. These heads will be returned to the customer without modification. In these cases customer will be notified and options reviewed. New, CNC ported stock heads or S&S heads are available for purchase. • Due to variations in stock cylinder head castings, all inside surfaces of the ports may not “clean up” during machining. As a result, the inside of one or more ports may not appear to be completely machined. This does not effect performance and is not considered a defect. • CNC porting is not currently available for Harley-Davidson® CVO engines. • S&S CNC ported heads are only available through S&S dealers. It should be noted that more radical cams will produce more top end horsepower, but may reduce low and midrange torque. Consider which is more important to your personal style of riding.
