Common questions
Why are these S&S bolts better than OEM compensator bolts?
S&S bolts use stronger 8740 chromoly steel and rolled threads, which are 30% stronger than cut threads. Unlike OEM bolts which are torque-to-yield and must be discarded after one use, S&S bolts are reusable.
Are these bolts designed for stock or modified engines?
While suitable for stock engines, these S&S compensator bolts are specifically engineered for high-output Harley-Davidson Big Twin engines where fatigue resistance and durability are critical.
Do these bolts require any special installation procedures?
Installation is similar to OEM, but always refer to your service manual and S&S Cycle's instructions for proper torque specifications and procedures to ensure correct and safe installation.
