The founding of S&S Cycle<\/strong> goes back to 1958 in Blue Island, Illinois. George J. Smith started the company out of his basement, and the rest, as they say, is history. If you are in the motorcycle industry, you have no doubt of the high standards and dedication to quality of S&S Cycle\u2019s performance parts<\/a>. This is why we chose to install three major performance upgrades on a new Harley-Davidson Road Glide equipped with the stock Milwaukee-Eight engine<\/a>. We slapped a chain-driven 465C cam, a Mini Teardrop air cleaner, and a Sidewinder 2-into-1 exhaust system on our M-8, and got some happy gains in the horsepower and torque departments. We went from 77.34 hp and 101.46 foot-pounds of torque to 93.26 hp and 112.44 foot-pounds of torque. For the cam, exhaust, and air cleaner, our wallet lightened by about $1,420.<\/p>\n
