Any experts on S&S motors

[coyoteugly]

I'm curious if all these different Harley parts (air cleaners..etc) will fit S&S Big Dog engine.There are a million parts for Harley and a handful for Big Dog.If someone could give a little info it would be much appreciated.Someone posted here that 50% of Harleys have S&S motors??
There are 100s of exhaust for Harley and around 2 for the Dog.

Lots of people that have older Harleys will change their motors out to the S&S for various reasons. Better horse power, custom builds, replacing blown motors ect. But just because the pipes fit the motor don’t mean that they will fit the frame. Some customizing of the pipes or the mount is involved.

I don't have nearly as much knowlege as some of the other guys on here. But so far I've found that there are three things to look for. If it's an engine part it needs to be of an EVO application. Anything to do with the carb, i.e. air cleaners has to fit the S&S Super G. Alot of exhaust mfgs. don't specify BD, you need to keep an eye out for right side drive or RSD, but you may still need fab work on the bracket. There are plenty of them out there, I'm running Martin Brothers. The "show your exhaust" thread in the general forum is pure gold, if you can't find somthing you like there you may be SOL.

But keep an eye out for those three things and you should be on the right track. Hope this helps, good luck, ride safe
