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.

Common questions
Can I use my stock 883 cylinder heads with this kit?
No, the 883cc cylinder heads are not compatible with this 1250cc conversion kit. You will need to upgrade to 1200cc heads or a performance aftermarket head.
Does this kit require any specialized machine work?
No, this S&S Cycle conversion kit is designed for a direct bolt-on installation, meaning no machining or piston rebalancing is required for the cylinders and pistons.
Will I need to retune my Sportster after installing this kit?
Yes, increasing your engine's displacement will require a proper dyno tune to optimize fuel delivery and ignition timing for the new setup. This ensures maximum performance and engine longevity.

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!
I love the upgraded carburetor and intake system S&S .. great product and great addition too my harley.
