Upgrade your Harley-Davidson engine with the precision-engineered KPMI Black Diamond intake valve. Crafted from high-strength one-piece forged stainless steel, each valve undergoes a specialised German treatment process that penetrates to a depth of 0.05 mm to significantly reduce friction, enhance wear resistance, and resist corrosion far better than traditional chrome or nickel electrolysis plating.

Designed using Finite Element Analysis software and rigorously tested on computerized flow benches, this intake valve delivers optimal airflow characteristics and lightweight durability. It features a standard head diameter of 49.53 mm, a 9.6 mm large stem, and a 23° tulip angle to ensure exceptional reliability for your classic Shovelhead engine.
