THE ZIPPERS WAY








Simply stated, "The Zipper's Way" is a commitment to quality that goes beyond printed words on a page. It is the personalized attention to detail that goes into every engine we put our name on. Each component, down to the nuts and bolts, is inspected, tested and hand fit, to ensure the level of quality we have become known for. Much of what we do is harder than the “accepted” way, but our strict methods have always proven to be the best. The result is an engine that runs harder, lasts longer, and operates more efficiently than other engines from builders claiming a superior product.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT for spending the extra money over a conventionally designed/assembled engine from one of our competitors?
  • Substantially more torque/horsepower than the average mass-produced engine
  • Quieter, smoother operation
  • Cooler operating temperatures with increased oil flow
  • Fuel efficiency at highway speeds
  • No fuel additives required
  • Purpose designed and built for your application with durability to match
If you are considering a large project, we welcome you to visit us in person and ask to see the difference in “The Zippers Way”.

Before You Buy - What Is Most Important to You?
  • Reliability
  • Fuel Economy
  • Aesthetics
  • Horsepower
  • Acceleration
  • Budget

Do you want more passing power, do you want to run with the pack... Or do you want to lead it?

These are just some of the considerations for purchasing an engine or upgrade kit. It’s wonderful to be able to say, “Money is no object”, but, for most of us, it really is. Make certain that you really know what you are looking for so that your money is well spent. Maybe, after you look at it, that 131 cubic inch Zippers engine with over 150 hp on the ground is a bit more than your daily ride FXR really needs. With all the engine combinations available, we can help you decide what you really need, something that meets your performance goals.

Remember the questions you need to ask yourself:

What do I want to accomplish with this purchase? More Horsepower, Torque, King of the Hill...

What will I be doing with this motorcycle when I’m finished building it? Two up touring, Saturday night street rod, or racing...

How much do I want to spend? More important, how much can I afford? To be successful, the goal and budget need to match...

What other modifications will I need to make to the bike to make this happen? Transmission, Clutch, Swingarm, Frame clearancing/modifications...

Remember, these are not all the questions. To hit the bull’s eye and to prevent wasting money, we believe you need to answer all of them; sometimes several times, to get the results you want. We don’t sell what sounds or looks good on paper; we sell matched packages that deliver real results for you.

In addition, many times riders concentrate only on how to make things go faster. The tragedy strikes when they haven’t considered the modifications needed to make the rest of the bike work as well as the engine. Clutches, transmissions, suspension, brakes and a list of other things need to be considered as we go up the horsepower ladder. Our staff of riders will assist you in recommendations on how to improve these areas.

We offer professional installation for all Zippers Performance kits & engines. When necessary, we can arrange shipping of your vehicle with a national motorcycle carrier, or shipment of your engine in one of our specially constructed crates. Once the work is completed, we will contact you to arrange return shipping, or you can pick it up at our facility. Services include fuel & ignition calibration, engine break-in, road testing and dyno analysis to ensure optimum, reliable results.

Zippers proprietary combinations, installed on your motorcycle, are the most efficient and reliably engineered performance enhancements available anywhere in the industry.
