I need to replace the lifters in my 07 Ultra Classic.
They've started clacking and today there's one making a noticeable hollow tapping sound at idle.

What would be the correct part number for the S&S lifters and Quickee adjustable pushrods for my year.

I don't ride hard and got around 18k on the clock. From what I've read HD stock lifters aren't very good and it seamed it's best to go with S&S replacement but I'm not sure witch one's to order.
I spoke with my dealer today and they said I need to know certain specifications to go with adjustable pushrods that go with semi hydraulic lifters?

I'm at a loss what their on about, I thought the lifters are just hydraulic and the pushrods get adjusted accordingly to adjustment spec?


Thanks for any input.

You do not need pushrods if you remove the rocker box tops and rocker arm supports.

S&S standard lifters, part# 33-5350 $149 retail
S&S Premium Lifters, part number# 330-0175 $269 retail

The standards are fine for your application.

For Twin Cam adjustable pushrods, "one size fits all".

Ask your dealer what specific specifications you need to know to go with adjustable pushrods.  Then wait for the blank stare.   

You are correct, the lifters are hydraulic and you adjust the pushrod length accordingly to the adjustment spec, just as you stated.  You simply adjust the pushrod length until you are in the middle of the lifter internal travel.  Typical standard lifter internal piston travel is approx. .200 and you want to adjust the pushrod length so you are about .100 deep into the travel.

I did see that S&S standard part number but wasn't sure.

Thanks sadunbar,
I thought they were given me some dirty landry  on that needing spec.

I take it ( to save some expenses ) I can use the same push rods?
I'd like to pull the top covers off and check things over, so as I'll be doing that if I can use the standard rods with the S&S lifters I'll go with that?

The standard pushrods will work just fine.    Adjustables make it easier for those who don't want to pull the rocker covers and rockers, or those who want to play around with varying lifter preload, but they come with their own potential issues.  One piece rods like the stock parts are more reliable and lighter.

S&S has deals I found as I was online shopping in their different websites. They put deals on eBay through their websites.

Lifter at 111.89 and adjustable rods with covers at 144.69 shipping internationall at 24.50 US cost . Think this is a little bit more of a deal.

[JKM]

have you replaced the inner cam bearing yet?  If not, consider adding this to your S&S order.  definitely a well know weak point in the early 110" motors

[r0de_runr]

I recommend the HD SE adj pushrods and 850-1 lifters.  Replace lifters at each rear tire change.
