Flathead Power - Vintage Vibe | Modern Muscle | S&S Cycle

S&S Cycle has been in the business of manufacturing high quality, high performance engine components for over 50 years. What started as a passion for speed, grew into the best known company name in the V-Twin high performance aftermarket. George Smith Sr. had to build his own parts to make his motorcycle faster. Now the company he founded manufactures the most prestigious line of "go fast" v-twin engine parts in the world. The company was started in the basement of his home in Blue Island IL in 1958, and moved to Viola, WI in 1969. In 2004 an additional facility was opened in LaCrosse, WI.

With the support of his family, George Smith Sr. built the special racing parts he needed to win the trophies proudly displayed on this 1952 photo.

George Smith (S) and Stanley Stankos (S) formed S&S Cycle in 1958. A year later George bought Stanley's interest in the business and continued with the help of his wife Marjorie.

George's wife Marjorie handled the book keeping and office, but as S&S customers of that time will tell you, she also had in-depth product knowledge and often helped customers with technical questions.

Current S&S company president George Smith Jr. carries on the tradition of S&S quality and innovation started by his father in 1958.
