These S&S® crankshaft assemblies are perfect for reconditioning and high performance applications. These crankshafts are balanced and assembled by S&S® with standard diameter flywheels and S&S® heavy-duty rods. We can supply you with a balanced, assembled and trued crankshaft, stock stroke or stroker, that’s ready to install in your case.
Over the years, H-D® has made design changes in the cam drive system that compromised strength when output of the engine was increased. There have been many cases of the pinion gear shearing the key and spinning on the shaft, causing the valve train to crash in performance applications. S&S® crankshafts use the earlier, stronger design.
“Some shafts drive you nuts... our shafts come with them!” is the slogan from S&S®. Sprocket shafts are specially designed with oversize 6 degree tapers and heavy-duty keyways for use with like-machined S&S ® flywheels. Big Twin pinion shafts can be used in S&S® or factory flywheels that have replaceable shafts. And, as stated, all come with the hardware required to install them into the flywheels.
