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.

Give your Harley Sportster a classic look and a performance boost with the S&S Cycle Teardrop Air Cleaner Kit. This iconic air cleaner delivers increased filter area and a radiused inlet, meticulously designed to smooth airflow and improve power delivery to your V-twin engine. It's an essential upgrade for any Sportster rider looking to uncork more power.

  • Classic teardrop design for iconic V-twin style
  • Increased filter area and radiused inlet for better airflow

The S&S Cycle Teardrop Air Cleaner Kit for Harley Sportster models is more than just a style statement; it's a performance upgrade.

Common questions

Will this air cleaner increase my Sportster's horsepower?

Yes, this S&S Cycle Teardrop Air Cleaner Kit is designed to produce an increase in horsepower by improving airflow over the stock air cleaner. Actual gains can vary based on your bike's overall setup and tuning.

Is this kit a complete bolt-on solution?

Yes, this kit includes the backplate, washable filter element, top cover, and all necessary hardware for installation. It is designed to fit all Harley-Davidson Sportster models with existing Stealth Air Cleaner mounting locations.

Do I need to tune my bike after installing this air cleaner?

While the bike may run, installing a high-flow air cleaner often leans out the air/fuel mixture. We highly recommend a proper dyno tune and appropriate fuel management to optimize performance, prevent potential engine issues, and maximize your power gains.

Perfect fit, functions as expected. Great quality, highly recommend. Would have given 5 stars but screws have flat heads and not "domed" like OEM S&S screws. They still look great, would purchase again.
