power kits stroker kits s&s® stock bore stroker kits strokin since 1961 stock bore s&s stroker kits were a milestone product in the fledgling v-twin high performance aftermarket industry when they were introduced back in 1961 the new s&s strokers offered an easy way to increase the displacement of an engine simply by installing a set of stroker flywheels and pistons since the majority of the stock engine components were still used building a stroker engine was also a pretty economical upgrade today a stock bore stroker kit is still one of the best values available for a moderate performance increase not only are the parts relatively inexpensive compared to the cost of a complete replacement engine but the installation cost of a stock bore stroker is lower than that of big bore kits that require extensive machining to install the fact is installing an s&s stroker kit is comparable in cost to rebuilding a stock engine the results however are a lot more fun also a fact s&s stocks replacement pistons for our stroker kits in a range of oversizes so a stroker engine can be rebuilt a number of times providing a service life that rivals stock s&s flywheels for stroker kits come completely assembled and balanced stroker pistons are purchased separately strokers for 2006 and beyond we have changed the way we offer stroker kits to our customers a heart of a modern s&s stroker kit is a flywheel assembly designed to be used with a particular series of pistons we offer the pistons separately in a range of oversizes all these parts are stocking items which means that we keep them on hand ready for immediate shipment with the exception of strokers for harley-davidson® twin cam 88® engines which are only available assembled we also offer configurable flywheel kits that can be ordered in any state of assembly and with or without mainshafts or rods these special flywheels are for customers who may wish to balance and assemble the flywheels themselves or have other special requirements special flywheels are slightly more expensive and they take a little longer to ship because they are manufactured to order our intention is to make it easy for our customers to install a stroker kit while at the same time accommodating the customization that has always been a defining characteristic of the v-twin community george smith and his wife m arjorie took ou mortgage on th t a second eir home in blu e island illinoi to purchase th s in order is lathe the lathe would gi the ability to m ve george anufacture flyw heels but in or it into their ba der to get sement worksho p the machine be disassembled had to and the parts fed through a window the basement lathe was reas sembled inside and the rest is the house history historical f act 3-37 visit us at www.sscycle.com
