S&S Cycle - 'Cam Central' For 70-Years
The story of the V-twin aftermarket can be told through the story of the S&S Cycle product line. Since being founded in 1958, the masters of 'Proven Performance' is one of the reasons we are all here. One of the founders of the Harley-Davidson aftermarket, S&S Cycle's extensive product line tracks the development of the market itself.
One such is the company's camshaft lineup - unique in the aftermarket, this is just a selection of the coverage the company has to offer.

That coverage starts with the early V-Twins, "where S&S offers quite a few cams including the 513G and 600G grinds. These cams are purpose-built to modernize the performance of early engines without sacrificing the character that makes them special. Ideal for restorations and custom builds alike."
For Evolution engines, a favorite among riders and builders, S&S delivers "two excellent cam choices: the 508, for those looking for a reliable street cam that is noted for its great throttle response, and the 585" - which really comes alive in strokers and big-inch Evo builds.

For "early Twin Cam models, S&S offers the 509C for chain-driven setups, delivering strong midrange torque that works great in touring applications and for gear drive, the 510G is a reliable and well-balanced grind that's been a go-to for years." These cams are especially valuable for higher-mileage engines where smoother power delivery and strong midrange are priorities.

The later Twin Cam bikes "get a big bump with the 585C which is a favorite among performance shops for its high lift and aggressive profile - especially in engines running high-compression pistons or ported heads. On the other hand, the MR103C is a perfect match for customers with a stock 103" engine looking to gain torque and throttle response without sacrificing rideability."

When it comes to M8 engines, the 475C has long been the cam of choice for everyday riders. "It delivers impressive torque gains with a smooth curve and works great in a wide variety of setups making it perfect for touring and daily use.
Now though, with the introduction of the HPT496C, S&S gives performance-minded M8 customers an even more aggressive option. "Designed for 114 ci and up bikes as a bolt-in cam, the HPT496C delivers a huge bump in power across the rpm range as well as a terrific chop at idle.
