Crane Cams has reopened under the new ownership of S&S Cycle, and
is actively engaged in manufacturing and sales operations of its
ignition and motorcycle lines. The company, founded by Harvey J. Crane
in 1953, is newly housed in a facility at 1640 Mason Ave. in Daytona
Beach, and a number of long-term Crane employees have joined the
revitalized company.
S&S Cycle acquired Crane’s intellectual properties, patents,
trademarks, camshaft masters, inventory and some equipment in April
2009. S&S is best known for its broad line of components for V-Twin
motorcycle applications. The 50-year-old company boasts extensive
R&D and manufacturing capabilities, including a complete in-house
50-state Emissions Certification Lab.
