S&S engines and components are used by many of the top custom bike manufacturers and builders in attendance at the annual Performance Machine sponsored Los Angeles Calendar Motorcycle Show Weekend. The Calendar Motorcycle Show is America’s premier custom, cruiser and high performance street motorcycle event, taking place this year on July 12-13th 2008 at the Queen Mary Event Park in Long Beach, CA.
For the 2008 show, S&S Cycle returns again as the Calendar Motorcycle Show’s exclusive sponsor of the World Championship Horsepower Dyno Shootout. S&S Cycle staff will also be in attendance with a company product display to help with any v-twin engine building or performance questions.
Actual operation of the S&S Cycle World Championship Horsepower Dyno Shoot Out throughout the weekend will be handled by veteran exhaust system designer Kerry Bryant and his staff from Area P/No Limits. It is Kerry who has actually produced the World Record Dyno Shoot Outs for the last nine years of the Calendar Show, so the accuracy and continuity of established classes and records will continue unchanged. And, as always, there will be a full range of 10 Record Classes for both American v-twin and metric Sportbikes in both the stock and modified Streetbike and Racebike categories, with engraved S&S Cycle World Record trophies awarded to the winners.
