While I am decidedly Not a fan of S&S ...especially as being currently Fouled up, (again), by that Punk Kid if Georges..
It is Not, Cheap *** anything... what they Manufacture... "In House" is damn well better than any Chiwanese Crapp from asshats like Ultima..Just an Observation... you get what you Pay For

Better yet... Show us your Part, that you Make,...and Give us a Price!!! Maybe you'll get Rich on Quality Built Stuff!!!!

I have been out of the loop with S&S for a few years......did the original owners pass away and now run by the sons?

Looks like the best times for the Harley industry is behind us. There is not a single new Harley made that I would own. They ruined the motorcycle. As I have said before, between the early 80's. to the early 2000's. all the Japanese manufacturers were building imitations of Harleys in order to try to capture the market....they were failures. But NOW, Harley is imitating the imitations....with motorcycles that no longer maintain the longstanding character and meaning of Harley Davidson. I don't care about how powerful they are,.....what matters to me is the historical character of the American Icon.....which is now lost on modern looking, modern technology, water cooled, computers, and ....with ZERO connection the past. When they stopped the classic 5.0 gallon teardrop shape of the gas tank and 16 inch wheels, they lost me.

But.....thats just an old man talking. I am stuck in 1965, when the Electraglide was introduced....for me, that was the peak of Harley Davidson (although I love the Shovel Electraglide more). But, my fascination and interest is NOT circled around performance or reliability, ......its about character and substance, and a historical perspective. In any case,....motorcycling is dying, in all markets. There is not the widespread love of riding there once was, too many youngsters "live" for their digital screens and the liberal nonsense, instead of truly living life like we did. They are not the same.

And S&S appears to be joining Harley in their death. Second generation companies typically lose, because the youngsters have no appreciation for the work it takes, and the people who made them successful. Instead they start with generational wealth......believe they have a better idea of how to run a company than their parents, and then they fail. Typical. No surprise to me.
