Edelbrock’s New Easy-To-Install Harley Nitrous Systems Offer True 35 Hp Increase

TORRANCE, Calif. (March 28, 2002) – For Harley-Davidson owners looking to add significant kick to their ride without doing time-intensive modifications, Edelbrock now offers the most complete bolt-on nitrous kits available.

Edelbrock’s Performer RPM Wet Nitrous Kits, designed specifically for Harleys, are engineered and dyno-tested to give riders a 35-horsepower boost at the push of a button. And best of all, installation is a snap.

"When we looked at what it would take to make a nitrous kit the right way, we knew that it needed to be engineered for reliability, not require any additional fabrication and easy to install," said Rod Sokoloski, an engineer in Edelbrock’s R&D department. "And most importantly, it had to look clean. You don’t have the luxury of closing the hood on a Harley."

Each nitrous kit includes an electronic module and rpm sensor that activates nitrous at 4,300 rpm to help reduce the chance of engine-damaging detonation. The kits also feature the only plate system available for Harleys, as well as stainless steel jets that won’t erode like brass jets used in other systems.

Riders can also order the plate that matches their carb and bottle frame adapter for 12-oz kits. Plus, Edelbrock offers a new "Double Trouble" conversion kit that converts an Edelbrock 12-oz nitrous kit to a two-bottle set-up. Many other Harley-related Edelbrock products can be found in the company’s new Harley-Davidson catalog or on their Web site at www.edelbrock.com.
