What lifters did you go with? I have 13.5k on my bike and it's in the shop getting Dragos 580 cam and S&S lifters.

I kept it Harley. 18572-13 lifters.

According to Frank they are made in Mexico and the S&S premiums are made in the USA which is what prompted me to go with the S&S along with the fact that Harley can't seem to put a decent set of lifters together for the 110 lol.

The MOCO short lived "C" lifters were made in Mexico.  The current SE Lifters are made in the USA...

The C lifters were in my motor unfortunately...

And, in toto, in Harley's case that is oh so reassuring.

I didn't want to pull Harley lifters and replace with Harley lifters. Different strokes for different folks. Riding season is upon us!

I didnt know where they were made nor if it makes any difference.  I do know, I work for an american car company and we have lots of quality control issues with our products made south of the border.  The thing that scares me is that Harley has a history of what we call band-aid engineering, so I wonder if they really targeted lifter quality or just said "Lets just add 10K miles to our lifter longevity and call it a day"? As they say "time will tell".

That's basically the way I look at it. The bottom line (For ME) is that I just don't trust Harley which is why I went with S & S and also why I have an independent doing the motor work lol. I stopped in Dubuque HD on the way home and they asked what was in the trailer. I said nothing I just dropped my bike off to get some cams and lifters and a tune done at Dragos, that's when the dirty looks and frowns started coming my way!

The entire reason we have our own lifters now. I know what we have where its made the testing that has been done. Its that simple. I know for a fact that some  lifters that have made in USA are mostly made south of the border, then some work done in the US ..

Ours I know are 100% made in USA!!!!  What ever you do swap out the made in mexico lifters.
