Super E Carburetor Kit For Harley Evo Sportster 1991-2003

Unleash the Beast: S&S Super E Kit for 1991-2003 Sportster Evolution

For many riders, the 1991–2003 Sportster represents the golden era of the mechanical XL. However, the factory vacuum-operated CV carburetor often leaves these nimble bikes feeling sluggish and restricted. The S&S Super E Carburetor Kit (Part #11-0409) is the definitive solution to unlock the raw power hidden within your 883 or 1200 Evolution engine. Known worldwide as the “Shorty,” the Super E features a compact 1-7/8″ bore that provides a high-velocity air path directly into the cylinders. By replacing the stock fuel system with this mechanical butterfly-style carburetor, you eliminate throttle lag and gain the aggressive acceleration that makes a Sportster truly exciting to ride. Whether you are navigating tight city streets or hitting the open highway, the Super E provides a visceral connection between your right hand and the rear tire.

Mechanical Throttle Precision and Performance Engineering

The hallmark of the S&S Super E is its simplicity and efficiency. Unlike the stock carburetor, which relies on engine vacuum to lift a slide, the Super E utilizes a mechanical butterfly throttle. This provides an instantaneous response; when you twist the grip, the engine reacts without hesitation. The “Shorty” design is also 1-1/8″ shorter than vintage performance carburetors, ensuring that the high-flow intake sits closer to the engine for better leg clearance—a critical factor on the narrow Sportster chassis. This kit is specifically calibrated for the five-speed Evolution Sportster, ensuring that the fuel curves match the airflow characteristics of the 883 and 1200 heads perfectly. It is the gold standard for riders who want more “snap” from their XL.

Complete Bolt-On Kit for 1991-2003 XL Models

The 11-0409 kit is a total performance package, removing the guesswork from your fuel system upgrade. S&S Cycle has included everything required to transform your bike’s intake in a single afternoon.

• Pre-Jetted Super E Carburetor: Set up for a standard Sportster engine to provide a smooth, reliable baseline for tuning.
• S&S Intake Manifold: A high-performance manifold designed for a perfect seal and maximum intake velocity on Evo heads.
• Classic Teardrop Air Cleaner: The legendary chrome S&S teardrop cover, designed to increase airflow while providing a timeless custom look.
• Fully Adjustable Accelerator Pump: Allows you to fine-tune the fuel “shot” to match your specific exhaust and cam setup.

Modern Reliability for the Classic Sportster

Operating a vintage-style performance carburetor shouldn’t mean sacrificing modern convenience. The Super E features an integrated enrichment device that makes cold starts simple, doing away with traditional, cluttery choke cables. To combat the harsh effects of modern pump gas, S&S manufactures these kits with high-grade, ethanol-resistant components. This ensures that your gaskets, O-rings, and diaphragm won’t degrade over time, maintaining a leak-free seal for years of riding. Whether you are restoring a 1995 XLH1200 or building a performance-oriented 2003 Custom, the S&S Super E offers the perfect marriage of old-school mechanical soul and modern engineering reliability. Don’t let a restricted factory carb hold your Sportster back—step up to the power and prestige of S&S Cycle and experience what your XL is truly capable of achieving on the road.
