Steel is not just steel.
Work in the gas turbine industry, lots of different alloys that are proprietary.

I agree, pathetically sad. I would imagine for them (HD) to get a cease and desist they would of had to have a patent on the steel used for the liners. Oh well, i'm sure whatever S&S is using will be better anyways.

Companies get sued for patent infringement all the time. If the steel used in their liners was developed specifically for H-D and patented by them, they have all the right in the world to sue for infringement. I personally don't blame them, though for the record, I have an S&S 110" kit sitting next to me as I type this (I bought it before all this hoopla started). I bought it specifically because it came with domed pistons I could have machined for the exact compression I wanted.
