one thing I hate most about S&S are their bolted on piston jets! Like their easy start cams, just too many extra parts to go wrong!

There was a member in the Evo forums a while back that had a hell of a time getting Zippers to back thier product-even had to take them to court if I remember right! Just be careful and do your research!

They have a horrible skirt design whichcauses them to rock in the bore and wear out very fast, plus they are nowhere near as high of quality as the ones NRHS sells.
It would be good to hear a response from S&S re your claim about their pistons, I'm interested in hearing both sides as am/was leaning towards their 106 kit

EVERY company has had these battles and a lot of times it's from people wanting to do something to their motor that they shouldn't... **** man S&S has been sued every which way to Sunday on engine upgrades... for example,friend of mine put a 124" SideWinder into his 04 Dyna and they could NOT get that thing dialed in and when they did it broke both motor mounts, S&S wouild not cover it and claimed it was from excessive abuses, the motor had 344 miles on it.
