Yes X10 . CAHDBIKER ( at least on my 09)

not to hijack the thread...but do the rocker lockers really make that much of a difference?? Saw those once, but never knew anyone who was using them.

 Better check your oil pump too, csgohn just posted a pic of his broken gears...found it when changing out his lifters which crapped out a couple weeks ago.

Yep, me too. Had the HD part 18538-99B lifter installed (shops call) back in 2006 when the Redshift 575 gear drive cams were done. I did not specify lifters at the time as I did not realize it could become an issue. Have approx. 19k miles on this work.

Motor is a little noisier than stock that I attributed to the gear drive cams. It is not excessive, yet I wonder if these particular lifters are just making the sound.

The Torrington inner bearing, Zippers bypass, and Fueling oil pump were done at this time.

Question: should I be concerned with the lifters at this stage? I plan on keeping this bike long term. Thanks...

I would replace them now.  It is easy to do, and inexpensive if you do it yourself.

I use 850-1s, have used S$S. Since I already have the SE adj pushrods, the expense is almost nothing.

Wow, they have gone up...
