S&S Cycle releases Flathead Power brand S&S Cycle Inc. announced in April that the company is transferring ownership of the Flat- head Power brand back to Anders Nygren, the original founder of the Flathead Power com- pany in Sweden, free of charge. "We decided to discontinue using Flathead Power as a brand for our vintage product line about a year ago to consolidate our branding under the S&S Cycle name. We still owned the FHP trademark but had no plans to use it, so we decided to give it back to Anders," said S&S Cycle president Paul Langley. "When we called Anders to give him the news, he was overjoyed." "The happiness when Bruce and Eric called and told me that I could have my old company name back was overwhelming, to be able to use what once was the start of over 20 years of production — the first 12 in Sweden, and the rest in the U.S. Flathead Power, just a name, means a lot to me and my family, as the next generation is taking over the jug juggling. My son Magnus was born in 1995; Flathead Power started in '93, so he grew up with this. I can only take my hat off and say: Thank you S&S Cycle and the guys involved!" Nygren started Flathead Power in Sweden in the early 1990s, mainly to provide impossible-to-find parts for his own vintage race bikes. His accomplishments as an engine builder and engineer were nothing short of amazing as he, for the most part, single hand- edly built his fledgling business into an interna- tionally known source for quality reproduction and performance engine parts for vintage Har- ley-Davidson motorcycles. Unfortunately, Flat- head Power fell victim to a turbulent economy. Nygren lost ownership of the name and the company, and Flathead Power was forced out of business. Rather than allow Flathead Power to fade away, S&S Cycle purchased the company in 2007. S&S used the Flathead Power brand for its vintage parts line. PSB Anders Nygren, the founder of the Flathead Power company in Sweden, has received the brand back from S&S Cycle.
