I left mine in when I installed the 57H at 6000 miles. You can get S&S lifters for $109.00 (a set) on Amazon.com...

20k miles.
Get the kit from Fuel Moto. Those guys know what they are doing and won't steer you wrong. Bob Woods might know what he is doing as well. If they say change them, I would.

Good luck with your new cams.

Thanks for all the input. Since I have it open I think I will change them.

Got my new TW222 cams installed with new Fueling Lifters. Now installing Power Vision
WOW, those cams really woke up my 96" engine. Love them.
