Default Daytona Cylinders
Has anyone used cylinders from Daytona Global? I found that they make 124 drop-in cylinders for the M8, but I see they are produced in Japan.....

We have used S&S cylinders/pistons in that application.
Combined with a Red Shift .472 and some headwork, those are a torque beast.

Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha all from Japan. And most likely the forks on your Harley or the carb on your non efi Harley. Just sayin

Is S&S making their m8 cylinders in the states? Looks like I can buy S&S cylinders or Drag Specialties' cylinders out of the same book. Only difference I see. The little S&S emblem that is riveted on where the embossment use to be. The piston is unmarked wisco.
