How
to Become a Rich & Famous Celebrity at the LA Calendar Bike Show!
Jesse Rooke emerged out of no where, never having built a
bike before, and won our Best of Show in 2002 with his radical new concept bike "Singled
Sided" . Jesse's bike was then featured in the 2004 Iron
& Lace Calendar and in countless magazines. Jesse returned
in 2003 and 2004 to win twice more, 2003 Best of Show and 2004 First Place Pro Builder Class, and earned twice
more having his incredibly innovative bikes featured in the Iron
& Lace Calendar. It landed Jesse a national advertising campaign
and sponsorship with Mikuni Carburetors among many, a feature program
on the Discovery Channel which first aired March 2005, and paid
appearances at leading motorcycle events across America. Click on
Jesse (above) for the big picture and a preview of the upcoming
2006 Iron & Lace Calendar with Jesse's latest Kali Kruiser -
Rockstar, also featured in a detail in the world's first exclusive
pictorial in Iron & Lace
Garage. Success is Sweet.
Jesse Rooke's first ever custom bike "Single
Sided" won the Pro Builder class of the 2002 LA Show and went
on to be featured in many magazines, the FastDates.com website and
Iron & Lace Calendar with beautiful model Joanna Kruppa, Playboy cover model and MAXIM's World's Sexiest Swimsuit Model!

S&S Engines Now Certified to Meet California Emissions Standards
April 24th 2009 - S&S Cycle of LaCrosse and Viola, Wisconsin has received executive orders from the California Air Recourses Board (CARB), which allows S&S to sell engines for “new build” custom bikes in the State of California.
The engines covered by the executive orders are the S&S V100C, V113C, V124C and X117C. The V100C, V113C, and V124C are carbureted engines with displacements of 100, 113, and 124 cubic inches respectively. The X117C is S&S Cycle’s proprietary fuel injected 56° X-Wedge™ engine with a displacement of 117 cubic inches. Again, all of these engines are intended for “new build” custom motorcycles.
The V-Series engines are compatible with 1984-’99 style custom chassis designed for Harley-Davidson® Evolution® big twin engines, and are available in natural, wrinkle black powder coat and polished finishes. The X-Wedge engine requires a specially designed chassis to accommodate the X-Wedge engine mounts. The X117C is available in silver or wrinkle black powder coat, and polished finishes.
S&S CA engines are similar to the existing S&S 49-State EPA engines, but were made compliant with California evaporative emissions requirements with the addition of a carbon canister, a vapor valve, an evaporative hose routing label, and a sealed air cleaner assembly on the carbureted models. Additional restrictions have also been applied to the maximum capacity of the fuel tank and the distance between the fuel tank and engine.
S&S CA engines are available only through qualified S&S dealers. To become qualified, a dealer is required to pass a simple on-line class and test. This is to ensure that the selling dealer is familiar with the special requirements for compliance. Once these requirements have been met for a particular engine, S&S will issue a Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin (MSO) for the engine. At that time, the motorcycle will be deemed certified, and the owner will be able obtain a title, and registration. The bike can then be offered for sale, sold, or ridden with no mileage or use restrictions.
It should be noted that these engines cannot legally be used to replace the engine in a previously registered vehicle. Looking ahead, S&S is currently working toward approval of one or more replacement engines for 1984-’99 Harley-Davidson big twin motorcycles originally equipped with Evolution engines. Executive orders approving replacement engines are expected sometime before the end of the year. This will allow S&S Cycle to provide owners of older Harley-Davidson motorcycles with an emissions legal performance upgrade and an alternative to rebuilding a worn stock engine.
S&S Cycle has been a leading manufacturer of performance engines and replacement parts for v-twin motorcycles for over 50 years. The company’s headquarters and manufacturing facilities are based in Viola, Wisconsin. More information can be found at www.sscycle.com. |
