We've seen what works and what doesn't, and none of the offerings on the market really solved all the issues we came across, so we set out to make a cylinder that combines the best features of all of them. We're proud to bring you these fine cylinders, which we believe to be the best ones available for a street application. Ring seal depends on a straight and round bore, and this is the main objective in any cylinder design. Under the extreme pressure and heat of a high performance engine, cylinders want to grow, twist and distort, and that makes it impossible for the rings to stay sealed. We've seen some cylinders that grow and distort so badly that head bolts break, cylinder studs pull out of the cases, and head gaskets blow. For the straightest and roundest bore possible under these extreme conditions, coupled with the ability to shed heat and keep the engine cool, Sledge Hammer 1275 cylinders utilize an aluminum finned construction with an extra thick hard steel liner that stays straight and true. The end result for you is a lightweight, cool cylinder with superb ring seal for less oil consumption, less blow-by, and more power. Please Note: This listing is for 1275 kits using the big fin style as shown on the right in the picture above.

These big fin 04+ style cylinders will fit on 86-03 models, however the cylinder fins won't match the head fins unless the heads are updated as well. So how did we achieve 1275cc when everyone else only has a 1250? The secret is our 120,000 psi tensile strength steel liner. This liner enables a thinner spigot as shown on the left above, which allows for a bigger bore without case boring. But the working area of the cylinder (right) remains thick to promote good ring seal.

Before introducing the 1275, we tested these cylinders for a year in the most brutal street and strip applications. They performed flawlessly and we're pleased and proud to now offer these to the market.

So how much power is this cylinder capable of supporting? Take a look at this actual result. This 1275 result came from our 120+hp bolt-on package.

Remember, this is a bolt-on kit that requires no case boring for installation! Maintain Your Engine's Proper Cooling and Appearance!

We'd show you a big fin cylinders comparison here, but none of our competitors even offer the 2004+ big fin cylinders in their 1250 kits! In addition, one of our competitors doesn't even offer fin highlighting.

Another just hits the fin edges on their small fin cylinders with a sander and gets the look shown on the left above. We have the ONLY 1275 kit on the market. We offer it in the 2004+ big fin style. We take the extra time to CNC machine the fins on black highlighted cylinders.

Don't settle for less displacement, the wrong appearance, and inferior cooling, get the best, a 1275 kit from HAMMER PERFORMANCE! Complementing these great cylinders is a set of our exclusive forged Sledge Hammer Pistons. These pistons are lighter than the competition's for more power and less vibration, and they're actually stronger as well. They feature extra large valve pockets for those radical cams, anti-detonation grooves, dual wrist pin oilers, expansion grooves for superior ring seal, and ribbing to give maximum strength with minimum weight. You cannot find a finer piston for your HD or Buell. So Just How Much Lighter is a Sledge Hammer Piston? Here's a side by side comparison of a conventional forging 1250 kit 15 degree piston and the SLEDGE HAMMER 15 degree 1250 kit piston. Less weight means less vibration, less wear and tear on the lower end, and more power!

Use the best, SLEDGE HAMMER pistons from HAMMER PERFORMANCE! Trick New 30 Degree Reverse Dome Piston Now Available! Looking for the ultimate in chamber efficiency? It's well known that 30 degree dome angles work the best; they give maximum chamber unshrouding and also direct the fuel coming out of the squish band more directly at the flame front. But the problem has always been that they give up squish band surface area unless the dome is made really tall, which of course cranks up the compression.

For this reason, 30 degree pistons have largely been limited to race-only applications. We've combined a tall 30 degree dome, providing lots of squish area, with a dish in the middle to drop the dome volume down to pump-gas friendly levels. The result is what you see here, an ultra-trick 30 degree reverse dome piston suitable for street motors! No longer do you have to compromise on the dome angle to use pump gas!

These pistons are now available as a standard offering in the HAMMER PERFORMANCE Bolt-On 1275 kits. Please Note: 30 degree pistons require a matching 30 degree squish band be machined in the chamber.

HAMMER PERFORMANCE can handle this service for you. We machine all chambers by CNC and they come out a perfect match for the piston every time.

GET A 1275 KIT FROM HAMMER PERFORMANCE! Please note that if you'll be running factory stock cams, you'll need to limit your compression to 10:1 or less to avoid detonation.

The one exception to this is certain Buell models that came from the factory with SE bolt-in. 497 lift cams (S1, S1W, S3/S3T, X1, and International M2 models), as well as all Buell XB models. These are okay at 10.5:1 compression. If you're not sure what pistons you need, let us know the year of your bike, whether it's a native 883 or 1200, what type heads are going to be used with it, and what cams you'll be using.

We'll select the appropriate pistons for your application. Hammer Performance 1275 Kits for Sportsters & Buells. 88-03 XL1200 95-96 Buell S2. 98-03 XL1200S 96-03 SE/Lightning 96-98 Buell S1 97 Buell S3 97-98 Buell M2 (Lightning Heads).

Note 1: 30 degree dome angles provide the optimum chamber efficiency but require the cylinder heads be machined to match.
