The 2 on the right are the lifters that came out of my 2013, OEM never apart.
The one on the left is our premium lifter

How do the rollers on SE look Don? How many miles on them?
Thanks.

S&S Premiums are money well spent. Quietest I've ever used.

Had a CVO 110" in here just recently we built some time ago with a cam of ours we designed years ago, using the "B" lifter lifter upon client request.
Had "the" noise.
Installed a set of S&S Premiums. Silent.
Actually the standard lifter from S&S is very good as well.
$130.00 on those, but I'm sure that some whore is hawking them for less.............just don't let S&S catch you.

we use a lot or S&S lifters,standard on most builds,premium on builds with bigger,more aggressive cams.both are the best you can buy,no need to really look any farther for the more (IMO) gimmicky stuff

[HILLSIDECYCLE.COM]

Yep.

[VANAMAL]

Take my word for it you dont want lifter failure! I have s&s premiums in both bikes now set at .130

Going to change the Lifters and what has been said on here sounds like S&S are the way to go.

Just a few questions as I have not done a Lifter change before.
Do I use Standard S&S or S&S Premium?
Will the Standard Push Rods be Okay or is there a better option. I have no problem with removing the rocker covers.
Why S&S over SE lifters?
And finally what do I look out for when changing Lifters. Any suprises when dismantling anything...

Running s&s standard lifters now with a pretty aggressive cam. Quiet so far, 657 red shift cam from zippers. 4K miles and counting. Good units

In my opinion, do not get the S&S Standard Adjustable Pushrods.  You have to remove the lifter blocks to put them in or take them out.  And even then, you must finesse them into place.  If you ever want to remove them in the future, again take off the lifter blocks.  Also, the tubes that come with the S&S seem to be narrower at the top inviting tapping from not enough clearance to the P/R.

I recommend the Harley SE Tapered Adjustable pushrods.

As for lifters, my S&S standard lifters gave me no problems.  Also I like the CompCams 850-1's at &17 each.

8500 miles and they looked fine but leak down is pathetic as was the noise. Mine is an early 2013 and these look to be 18538-99C lifters contrary to what the parts book states. Book states 18572-13. Nope that was a flash in the pan and even book for a 2014 states 18538-99C lifters for a CVO 110. Not sure if any CVOs received the 18572-13 lifters and that said if they are decent. I have not tested these.

+1 for S&S premium lifters

[goop]

There are 2 premium lifters one with hl2t and one without. Which s&s premium are you guys giving a thumbs up to. Both?

[r0de_runr]

I believe the h2lt are just limited travel, so not necessary on normal builds.

Do you need to prime the lifters prior to installation. I have heard its not necessary and I've heard yes do it.

I'm no expert, but I do not prime them.  They usually have some thin oil, perhaps kersoene in them.  They bleed down quickly when installing adjustable P/R.

Crank engine over without spark plugs to prime them.  But don't over do this.
