Big Twin V2 Performance Guide
Overview
America's Engine Builder
Ask American V-Twin enthusiasts to name
one manufacturer of high performance
engines, and nine times out of ten they'll
say S&S! And you gotta' wonder about
the one guy who didn't. S&S is the largest
manufacturer of engines for the
V-Twin high performance aftermarket.
S&S engines power more custom V-Twins
than anyone else's, and they have always
been popular as a high performance
upgrade in stock motorcycles. What
could be simpler? Take your old engine
out, and put a new S&S engine in. It's
just that simple, and you have a sleeper
hog that will run the wheels off the
competition. The reason that S&S
engines are so popular can be summed
up in two words: "Proven Performance".
These industry awards pretty much tell the story. S&S engines have been
receiving awards from industry magazines for years. Some that we are most
proud of are the "Engine Of The Year" awards from both Hot Bike and V-Twin
magazines for the S&S 124 and Tribute 145 engines.
Performance and Reliability
When you stop and think about it, the trophies that company founder George Smith
won at the race track in the late 1940's early 1950's were awards that really tell you
what S&S is all about . . . Proven Performance.

Everybody knows that S&S engines make a
lot of power. What you may not be aware of
is that because of our innovative designs and
premium materials, they last a lot longer than
you might think was possible for a high
performance engine. Let's face it, the stroker
engines of the late 1960's and early 1970's
were pretty crude by today's standards, and
they gave high performance motors a bad
reputation as far as engine life is concerned.
But keep in mind that the high performance
industry has come a long way in the last 35
years or so, and S&S has been a leader in the
quest not only for more power, but also for
greater dependability and improved engine
life. So if you could double your horsepower
and still get near stock engine life, wouldn't
that be a fair trade off? Judging from the
number of large displacement S&S engines
on the street, the answer seems to be "Yes!".
