Has anyone here tried Fueling lifters? If so what did you think of them. Thank you in advance and God bless.

Yes, they appear to be the same as the (now discontinued) HD "B" lifers and the current S&S standard lifters made in USA by Delphi.

I've used and had good service from the Feuling HP+ lifters for years. 

I won't use their "race" lifters.  Witnessed failures with them enough to keep me from trying.  So the lesser expensive product I'm fine with.  The more expensive when I won't use.  Gotta love counter-intuitive cost savings.

Lifters and cheap are a huge no no.
I suggest using Hylift Topline B2313SE
They are the best yet affordable and include axle oiling that none of them have.

Completely agreed.  "Cheap" and any internal power train component that might strand you and/or cause a significant and expensive repair as a result of their failure is bad idea.  Cheaply made and lesser expensive than some alternatives are not always the same thing though.

There's yet another consideration with lifters also though.  They fail as part of the system they're a part of.  The same lifters that used to be "good" or that we never considered as "weak" now fail all too regularly; because of the overall valve train they are installed and forced to work within.

An issue with the B2313SE lifters (have used two sets of them, fortunately, without issue of any kind) is it's so hit and miss being able to buy the damn things.  Spotty inventory is a PITA.

You're calling the wrong guy. Always in stock.

Good to know.  Vendors on the site give site members a 10% discount too.  Next time someone here needs a set will keep you guys in mind.

I have used them in two builds. Both with multiple miles on long highway days. No problems. Sold both bikes and neither have had a letter failure years later.
Putting the then in a 117 build right now. 

Never used the race lifters.

Did have one old style SE lifter give up and take out cams. Was on a .650 lift woods 400g. 

Also just removed the new SE which came stock in my 110. 29k miles. Still smooth.

After experiencing fueling's dismal (lack of) quality control, tech support, and customer service, I'll never buy anything fueling again >:(

A few years back, I asked around the forums about lifters,,, S&S was recommended > 10-1 over any other lifter...

My favorite part of forums....lack of agreement. One post says they are better than most, another says they are the same as others, then the worst thing ever post.  So then we have to weigh each opinion.  Who knows the most, owns a shop, posts the most, is the tallest?  Lastly we have to decide what to buy/use/install.  Which is usually just the most popular item with two technical posts and a bunch of "yeah I used them with peanut butter and it was much better than jelly."
 dont mean to offend....sorry if I did.
