The X132 Copperhead Motor

The perfect minimalist street motorcycle powertrain is now available for your individualist motorcycle design. This solution is the sum of 50 plus and 20 plus years of S&S/Confederate American street motorcycle engineering and design evolution, respectively. Tough, lean, fast and true can now be yours with no design boundaries. The character and personality of your personal project motorcycle is forever transformed from early 20th century retrospective to minimalist Bauhaus purity progressively interpreted and expressed. Let true to concept industrial and mechanical American way design transformation rule!

Copperhead power is a 56° pushrod v-twin with three belt-driven cams in a unique configuration that provides straight pushrod angles to all valves. A one-piece forged crankshaft with automotive style, plain bearing connecting rods and plain main bearings offers greater load capacity, increased engine durability and reduced noise. The cylinder heads are designed with automotive style low mass rocker arms and a unique cross-flow wedge style combustion chamber. The fuel system consists of an S&S single bore throttle body and Variable Fuel Injection module, which boasts dual closed loop feedback for fuel control and knock sensing ignition.
