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.

 

Harley wonders why they lose customers

this kind of shht is ridiculous

I definately wont buy the Harley 110 kit now

 

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.

 

lol, do u have any of the 110's we might just have to jum on, the 570 cam will keep things calm in order of crank etc....i wanna spin tires dammit!!!!!lol

 

THERE ALL OVER EBAY STILL!!! UNDER 1K EVEN THE 110'S??? THATS BS THO MEATLS METAL, THE HAD A metaluroligist test the damm metal, watts joke, worry about all your slop I'm constantly taking outta bike first HARLEY!!!!!

 

No MoCo lover, but I agree. Until HD got the 110" kit out, no one was going bigger than 107" in the twinkies. Kudos to HD for developing it. Granted, I'm sure S&S refined it
