S&S Cycle is a motorcycle engine and parts manufacturer that was founded in 1958 by George J. Smith and Stanley Stankos in Blue Island, Illinois[1]. The company started by selling high performance pushrods for Harley-Davidson motorcycles[2], and today they still make parts for American V-Twin bikes. The company's current president is Brett Smith, the grandson of founder George Smith, who first started working at the company in 2002[3][4].

History

Soon after the formation of S&S, George's wife, Marjorie, bought out Stanley Stankos and Smith & Stankos became Smith & Smith[5]. In 1969, the company moved from Blue Island to establish a new headquarters in Viola, Wisconsin. S&S still operates at this location, but opened an additional facility in La Crosse, Wisconsin in 2004[6].

Engine Technology

S&S was the first motorcycle engine manufacturer to produce pre-certified EPA compliant engines[7], lifting the burden and cost of performing the complicated EPA testing procedures from the companies and enthusiasts who buy S&S engines.
