02 FLSTC rear piston jet stuck open, going to replace the set. Question is Harleys are $19 apiece and S&S are $62.00 for the set anybody know of any benefit of S&S over Harley for this application. I'm sure quality is better S&S look machined an Harleys cast, but does it really matter? Other than price?
Well this just turned into a real monkey f*#k

Factory Harley standard, and 120R jets always work for me. Haven't had an issue. Just be careful tightening the fragile torx fasteners.

Might check out Kevin Baxters channel. He did a few good videos on Harleys Piston cooling jets. Are S&S any better? I don't know. I myself haven't tested or have a opinion either way. I went S&S for my 124" build. Be interesting to see a few tests on them as well.

I have the S&S. I don't know if they're any better, but my builder likes them.

Only time we use the lowered S&S thermal piston jets, is when we build 124"-larger.
I use those in my personal 131" T/C.
Shy of that, OEM HD.

S&S jets are obviously higher quality than OEM but would i bother changeing them if mine were working fine,no.if your motor has debris in the oil,it will plug a S&S jet as it will OEM.the real reason for S&S jets is to lower them for longer strokes
