S&S Cycle 498.2 Cylinder Set for M8 Engines, 4.25-Inch Bore, Unhoned, Wrinkle Black
Regular price $948.95 USD
Category:
Upgrade your M8 engine build with the S&S Cycle 498.2 Cylinder Set, engineered for applications requiring a 4.25-inch bore configuration. This cylinder set features an unhoned finish, allowing the builder or machine shop to complete final honing according to the selected piston, ring package, and desired cylinder-wall specifications. It is a practical choice for custom engine assembly, performance rebuilds, and professional installation where precise preparation is part of the build process.
The cylinders are finished in wrinkle black for a clean, purposeful appearance that complements a wide range of engine and chassis configurations. The finish provides a distinctive alternative to standard cylinder treatments while maintaining the traditional performance-oriented styling associated with custom motorcycle engines. The set is supplied without highlights, making it suitable for builders who prefer a consistent, understated look or plan to apply their own finishing details.
S&S Cycle is recognized for producing aftermarket engine components for high-performance motorcycle applications, and part number 498.2 is designed for use with M8 engine platforms. Because these cylinders are supplied unhoned, final preparation should be performed by a qualified builder or machine shop using the matching piston and rings. Proper measurement, clearance verification, and honing procedures are essential to support reliable assembly and long-term engine performance. Always confirm application requirements and related component compatibility before installation.
This S&S Cycle cylinder set is intended for builders seeking a defined bore configuration, a customizable unfinished cylinder-wall surface, and wrinkle-black styling in one package. It can serve as a key component in a complete engine upgrade or rebuild when paired with compatible pistons, rings, gaskets, and supporting hardware. The set combines recognizable S&S Cycle branding with the flexibility needed for precision-oriented M8 engine projects.
