It's been said that the Harley lifters are the same as Chevy lifters, so if you buy Chevy lifters they are much more reasonable as far as price. Do a thread search and I'm sure you will find someone posting the comparable part #s.

I went with the Jim's Hydrosolid II's and really like them, but that's just my .02
