(Viola, WI)  S&S Cycle Inc. introduces their new Stock Replacement Parts Catalog.  If you need to fix a Harley®, you need this book!

S&S is known as a go-fast company, but a lot of our components can be used as stock replacement parts for Harley-Davidson® motorcycles. High quality replacement parts are sometimes hard to find, but here’s a source for many basic engine components that will make servicing Harley® motors a lot easier. These are the same parts we use in our premium engines from S&S® and Flathead Power®.

These S&S parts might actually be better quality than the stock parts they replace, but your engine won’t mind!  In addition to parts for late model engines, S&S also offers many hard to find items for older bikes under the Flathead Power brand.  If you work on vintage Harley engines, you’ll be glad to know that S&S offers faithful reproductions of vintage components that look like the original parts but are made with 21st century materials and techniques.  They’re great for service and restoration.

If you need a set of heads for a UL sidevalve, cylinders for a knuckle, or rocker arms for a 2012 Twin Cam 103™, S&S has them all. We have a lot of parts that could make the difference between getting a job done and having to wait.  Don’t you hate that?

Among the benefits of using S&S parts for routine work is the fact that you can get the parts and get on the road, but most importantly there’s the peace of mind in knowing that you’re using superior quality S&S components.  So the next time you need some stock replacement parts, take a look at the S&S-to-stock cross reference chart in the back of the S&S Stock Replacement Parts Catalog to find an S&S part that will fit the bill.

The S&S Stock Replacement Parts Catalog is available for viewing or downloading from the S&S website at http://www.sscycle.com/catalog/.

“Big Boy” Wheel Jockey^® – Cruiser Wheel Chores Made Easy

Charlotte, N.C. – Wheel Jockey^®, www.wheeljockey.com, releases their new “Big Boy” Wheel Jockey motorcycle tool (Patent No. 8,002,122) that offers cruiser and touring riders help with the bothersome task of rotating motorcycle wheels for cleaning, tire and drive belt/chain maintenance and checking tire pressure.  Once a motorcycle is easily “walked” onto the Wheel Jockey, wheels turn on heavy duty ball bearing rollers and provide access to the entire tire, wheel or final drive mechanism.

Big Boy is designed specifically for use on bigger bikes — bikes up to 950 lbs — yet is small enough to stow easily in most saddlebags. Says industry veteran and owner Bill Kniegge, “The real challenge designing the Big Boy Wheel Jockey^® was creating a tool that worked on heavier cruiser and touring bikes, easy enough for one person to use alone, and even small enough to take on the road with you.” 

Made in USA, of high quality components, the Big Boy Wheel Jockey^® weighs less than 3 lbs and measures 8”x 5”x 1.5”. Manufacturer’s retail price is $89.00 plus shipping.

The Big Boy Wheel Jockey^® is the latest product offered by Wheel Jockey, who originally created the innovative Jockey “Sport” (model 0055) for owners of sport bikes, standards and middleweight Cruisers up to 650 lbs.
