S

& S Cycle- ' Cam Central ' For 70-Years
The story of the V-twin aftermarket can be told through the story of the S & S Cycle product line. Since being founded in 1958, the masters of ' Proven Performance ' is one of the reasons we are all here. One of the founders of the Harley- Davidson aftermarket, S & S Cycle ' s extensive product line tracks the development of the market itself. One such is the company ' s camshaft lineup- unique in the aftermarket, this is just a selection of the coverage the company has to offer. That coverage starts with the early V-Twins, " where S & S offers quite a few cams including the 513G and 600G grinds. These cams are purpose-built to modernize the performance of early engines without sacrificing the character that makes them special. Ideal for restorations and custom builds alike." For Evolution engines, a favorite among riders and builders, S & S delivers " two excellent cam choices: the 508, for those looking for a reliable street cam that is noted for its great throttle response, and the 585 "- which really comes alive in strokers and big-inch Evo builds. For " early Twin Cam models, S & S offers the 509C for chaindriven setups, delivering strong midrange torque that works great in touring applications and for gear drive, the 510G is a reliable and well-balanced grind that ' s been a go-to for years." These cams are especially valuable for higher-mileage engines where smoother power delivery and strong midrange are priorities. The later Twin Cam bikes " get a big bump with the 585C which is a favorite among performance shops for its high lift and aggressive profile- especially in engines running highcompression pistons or ported heads. On the other hand, the MR103C is a perfect match for customers with a stock 103 " engine looking to gain torque and throttle response without sacrificing rideability." When it comes to M8 engines, the 475C has long been the cam of choice for everyday riders. " It delivers impressive torque gains with a smooth curve and works great in a wide variety of setups making it perfect for touring and daily use. Now though, with the introduction of the HPT496C, S & S gives performance-minded M8 customers an even more aggressive option. " Designed for 114 ci and up bikes as a bolt-in cam, the HPT496C delivers a huge bump in power across the rpm range as well as a terrific chop at idle. " All S & S Cycle cams are American-made and backed by decades of performance engineering. Whether your customers want torque, top end pull, or just a better riding experience, S & S Cycle has the cam."
