Default M8 124" Bolt on kits!

S&S just released it's 124" M8 bolt on kit. BOOM!
With our Stage II M8 Heads, and a good exhaust, these are going to be a killer set-up, at a killer price!

I'm surprised they don't offer a crank yet. How did they start in this industry?

There was a time over last year or two when guys couldn't get ahold of S&S support and tech, and I told people to relax....they are working on upgrades to the new M8-
Well...... this bad *** bold on kit is a killer, big power deal and a leap ahead of the competition...as usual from S&S-the performance leader of V Twins for decades in the past and apparently decades into the future...

To know where you are going,you have to know where you came from...

S&S-PARTS MADE AND SOURCED IN AMERICA-ASSEMBLED IN AMERICA.........NUFF' SAID....

First was a solid lifter conversion kit, next was flywheels & carbs came in sometime after that.
Since HD whacked them on the cylinders maybe they're having trouble getting around the patents for the flywheels. Don't know just thinking out loud.

Nope, never stopped, but some friends and guys on a couple sites tried to get a hold of them, and complained no one would get back to them. Now,.great as ever, just slowed (what a guy I trust there told me) a bit a while back....as I said...lol......

I thought it was flywheels, but thanks for the history on solid lifter conversion. I wasn't saying anything bad about the company. It's just I know 3 companies that have flywheels and I am surprised S&S isn't included.
