We had no agreement with Jay, nor did we pay him anything. Furthermore, he has been riding the snot out of the bike...various pics of him around LA have shown him on it because, well, he likes it. I rode the bike before it shipped out, plenty of torque, solid chassis design--made me wish i was still in LA to run it through Latigo canyon. Howard All

My two cents on push rod two valve engines is, if the power and EPA levels are acceptable why go to the complexity of four valves and OHC's? Fewer moving parts means less weight,less friction, fewer repairs and a quieter operation. Same applies to air/oil cooling as opposed to liquid cooling. Granted the water jackets kill a lot of noise that air cooled engines don't. Kudos to S&S. 550 pounds is a step in the right direction for a sport cruiser.
