Taking the bike into a local guy who specializes in doing a package on the 110's- I've mentioned him before, but he's done about 24 110" bikes, and has great results.
I told him I want to replace the lifters regardless of if mine look good or not- he is telling me to stick with the HD lifters as he personally hasn't seen any issues with them. I told him that I've heard of many people complaining of failures. He gave me the spiel about reading too much on the forums give the impression they are problematic, when in fact their are thousands of people that have no issues with them.
He said some of the aftermarket lifters "are gimmicky", and since he is old school, he wants to stick with HD. Without getting into a whole debate about whether he is right or wrong, I want to know if anyone has any insight into the new SE lifters? (part number 18572-13).
If not, I will likely just show up with a set of Gaterman lifters, since it seems that those are similar to the OEM lifters, but have more oiling holes, and are of better quality and tolerance.
