I got tired of waiting for Harley to deliver the rocker bushings so I ordered the S&S rockers and put everything together yesterday. Haven't ridden it but around the block because of the rain, but it sounds like a new engine, no valve train noise finally. If the roads dry up before dark, I will take it for a short ride.

 

I think you made a wise choice

You installed lockers with the new rockers I take it ?? Did you get regular rockers or the roller rockers ?
Was thinking that is what I might do...

 

Actually I didn't, with the new rocker shaft, I had to force them in the last inch or so I don't think I need them right away. I had the rocker lockers in before, and when I removed them they came out easy enough and in good enough condition to re-use, but when I tried to re-install them, I messed up the first one and not wanting to wait for a new set, I put it together without them, but, I will not hesitate to buy another set and install them in the future.

 

so which rockers did you purchase from S&S regular or roller rockers?

 

The regular. I thought they would be fine for what I have, EV27 cam and 10 to 1 pistons.

 

and in that kit came a new shaft with fitted bushings for it installed in the Rockers?

 

The S&S rocker arm kit came with 4 rockers with the .75" bushings, reamed and ready to go, $237.00, S&S Cycle Standard Forged Rocker Arms 900-4119A Sold by: Murray's Custom Cycles, I bought the 4 new rocker arm shafts from Ronnie's Harley, $34.00.

 

If you add the cost of having them reamed then 29 bucks is a steal and you won't have to wait until September.
