Exhaust

If your Harley-Davidson motorcycle needs a performance boost, then check out the Screamin’ Eagle® Street Cannon performance slip-on exhaust. This awesome add-on will amp up the performance of your bike. Not only will the Street Cannon exhaust give your engine more power, thanks to the design of the high flow exhaust system, but you can also choose between a dark custom black and shining chrome, to fit the style of your bike.

Take your customization a step farther when you add on your choice of 3.25’’ end caps, and finish the look with muffler heat shields. Fitment on this part is not universal, so come in and speak with our parts department about getting the right Street Cannon exhaust for your bike.

Fully Adjustable Piggyback Shock

If you want to enhance the ride of your Harley bike, then don’t miss the chance to add on a fully adjustable piggyback shock. This awesome addition allows you to utilize the preload adjustment at the back of the bike and set your suspension using the piggyback canister. This Harley upgrade gives you an awesome ride on your machine and it looks stylish, too. 

Engine

Another way to improve performance is to upgrade the engine. The engine overhaul takes the stock 107-cubic inch Milwaukee-Eight® engine and transforms it into a roaring 117-cubic inch monster with a 39% power increase. This upgrade is ideal for riders who always have a passenger on the back, or for someone who just wants to have unlimited torque on tap. Because of changes to your bike’s fuel injection, your Harley-Davidson motorcycle will have to come into our shop if you want to experience this massive performance upgrade.

How to Upgrade Your Bike

After you decide to install upgrades on your Harley bike, you'll next need to figure out how to install them. You can attempt to do so on your own. But you face two big risks.
