About S&S Cycle
S&S Cycle has built American V-twin performance parts in Viola, Wisconsin since 1958 — flywheels, carburetors, cams, cylinder heads and complete crate engines. When a Harley owner talks about a 124, a 128 or a 131 build, they are usually talking about S&S. Few names carry more weight with engine builders in this space.
This S&S Cycle 1200cc conversion kit offers a direct path to increased displacement for 883cc Harley-Davidson Sportster engines. It's engineered to provide a significant performance boost without requiring extensive machine work, flywheel rebalancing, or cylinder head modifications. The dished piston design ensures a streetable compression ratio with your stock 883cc heads.

After much fabrication and alternative parts, it is installed. Not having a manifold ported for a map sensor complicates things significantly. I wasn’t going to settle for some pro rated refund because it was out of box. Much work left to do, but I’m committed to making it work.
Havent put it on yet but if its as good as the customer service i recieved getting the carb itll be breezy!
Fast shipping and it is in stalled runs great
Carb was installed per the O.E.M. Instructions, set-up and it runs and performs better than new! The JP Cycle online order was perfect!
