S&S ANNOUNCES SINGLE-BORE THROTTLE BODY RELEASE LA CROSSE, WI (August 1, 2006)– S&S Cycle announces the release of their new Single-Bore Throttle Body Kit (#17-5075) to fit 2001-2005 Delphi _fuel-injected big twin models.
For owners of 2001-2005 fuel-injected big twins, who have been searching for an economical upgrade for their stock induction system, the new S&S Cycle Single-Bore Throttle Body is now available. This new, high-performance system can supply the fuel needs of a variety of displacement engines, such as a 95″, 103″, or 106″ and utilizes many existing tuning systems that may have been purchased prior. It can also be used to provide added performance to stock engines such as the Harley-Davidson _Twin Cam 88 , as shown in the chart below. Kits are also available, in different configurations, for larger displacement engines.
The new S&S Single-Bore Throttle Body system uses a 2 1/16″ bore, the same as the S&S Super G, and has plenty of flow capability. This system currently includes the S&S Teardrop air cleaner and later this year a new version of the S&S Tuned Runner Induction System will be released. “The new single bore is an alternative to the very successful twin throttle bore and tuned runner assembly that we developed previously,” said Scott Sjovall, VP Product Development. “The single can actually offer more airflow at higher RPMs for slightly higher peak horsepower numbers where the tuned runner package is tuned for midrange torque. The competitive price, in conjunction with simplified installation and tuning, make it an attractive addition to our product line, especially for the 2004 and later models.”
The S&S R&D department recently conducted testing to show the Proven Performance _attributes of the new single-bore throttle body. The test motorcycle was a 2002 Harley-Davidson FLHTCUI, equipped with stock components (Twin Cam 88 engine, airbox, head pipes, and cam); the test results are shown below; showing increased horsepower and torque after the installation of the new S&S Single-Bore Throttle Body along with the S&S Desperado Teardrop air cleaner (#17-0004), S&S SPO mufflers (#55-6030), and the S&S ECU (#51-5034) used for this testing.
This above dyno-chart indicates test results showing 3% torque improvement and 19% horsepower improvement when using the stated S&S components compared to the stock motorcycle. The new S&S Single-Bore Throttle Body allows owners of 2004-2005 fuel-injected models to install an S&S Hot Set Up Kit, such as the 106ci, 116ci or the 124ci, on their bike and take advantage of compatibility with programmable aftermarket ECU’s and tuning systems. See an authorized S&S dealer or speak to your S&S Customer Support Representative for specific part numbers and compatibility with different engine models and displacements. Suggested retail price starts at $854.95 for part #17-5075. Visit www.sscycle.com and click on the Find Dealer icon from the homepage to locate an authorized S&S Cycle dealer.
