One of the first things I did was change out the stock stamped steel rocker arms on my 3 Wheeler. It never makes sense to me how you can have an engine with a roller cam but have no roller rockers.

With the prices that S&S and Morgan get for their products, I was surprised to see a picture of stamped rockers on the cylinder head. Roller rockers are prettier but given the rpm range I wonder if they'll make much difference. On the other hand, years ago the hold-down nut worked loose on a stamped rocker in one of my first cars--with disastrous results.

The stamped rockers will be perfectly functional and cost effective for S & S. However I agree the roller rocker solution is a great upgrade. Reminds me of my Cooper S days when a set of roller rockers was a must have.

Do check the valve clearance specification. On some engines, the clearance needed is reduced when roller rockers are used.

Does that still affect the hydraulic tappet system?

The roller rockers come as a kit with new studs, push rods, and the rockers. There is no lash setting and a new lifter preload setting is given with the kit. You do have to "machine" the push rod hole in the cylinder head casting because the geometry is a little different with the bigger rockers.

----and I like the "real" hood belt
Also I also think its always better to have a rocker "roll" across the valve stem than "rub" it no matter what the rpms are

And Also did you have to buy the parts from the dealer, or could you go directly to S&S?

That's got me, I was not thinking of hydraulic tappets, but ye olde fashioned adjustable ones. So no idea!

S&S does not sell to the public, you must go through a dealer. Most Harley Davidson dealers can order the kit.
