S&S 55th Anniversary carb used in Land Speed Records S&S created special Super E and Super G carbs for its 55th anniversary, which feature a black Enduraguard coating to protect them from corrosion. This corrosion resistance was really put to the test on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Ken Zetterquist of Zman Machining in Chico, California put an S&S 55th Anniversary Super G carb on a supercharged Ironhead Sportster and took it to the BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials, where he set new records. Ken increased the record in the 1000-APS-PBG class from 151.439mph to 153.729mph, and he took the record in the 1000-APS-PBF class from 150.732mph to 151.075mph. In addition to this Jimbo Fisher of Downers Grove, Illinois, put a 55th Anniversary black Super E carb on his 1974 Ironhead Sportster, known as the Gray Ghost. He broke three records at the East Coast Timing Association Wilmington Ohio Mile, with a best speed of 141.958mph, and at the Loring Timing Association 11?2-mile track in Caribou Maine, with record speeds of 146.979 in the 1350 M/CPF class and 145.6 in the M/CPG class.
