I had rocker lockers installed on my 2015 Road King then took it for a 1300 mile test ride from PA to FL and it took care of the ticking noise. Best $15 I spent….
I had the dealer install them and they are very interested in having them available for those that complain about the ticking.

LOL!!

Yup,its got to about the best bang for your buck mod for the TC motor i have seen thus far that seems to be an easy install too.

I got rid of 95+ % of my 09 tc's valve noise when i reduced oil temp 50+ deg in summer 90 deg HHH heat post installing wards cooling fans and untracool oil cooler with dual elec cooling fans along with spectro 20-50 bike oil all at the same time resulting in a great improvement / reduction in valve noise just doing that.

The 50 deg cooler oil temp w-spectro oil on hot summer days also allowed the motor to retain much better / higher oil pressure when hot along with also stopping detonation on HD's rec 91 octane fuel too.

But at times there is still a very suttle low key type clicky / ticky coming from the valvetrain (i can hear only because i am still running the quieter stock mufflers ) that i'd like to get rid of if possible which sounds just like the noise you hear in DK's video for the inserts.

I had already bought the inserts from the guy that initially designed & mfg'd them before DKCustoms had them avail for sale on their site otherwise i would have bought them from DKCustoms.

I plan to install them this winter .

This will be something I will try in the near future..

 

I know several people are selling these but tale a look at the kit that Bikerscum Products has put together. His kit is complete with new breather O-rings and a washer and nut to use to seat the lockers. No need to beat on the thing with a hammer. I just ordered a set ofrom him off Amazon so I don't have them yet but his kit looked the best in IMO.

 

I believe this is what is going on my 2012. At 2200 to 2600 I get a tick. It is not there above or below. I am going to order but I guess this is a stupid question but do I need one or 2 sets of 4? 4 per head right?

 

The beating on it with a hammer in the video is for show.

90%+ of them are installed without taking the rocker arm support plate off of the bike, and either way, the Rocker Locker is drawn in by threading the bolt in, in normal installation.

This is a Patent Pending product. The patent pending holders are harleycruiser and bikerscum.

harleycruise asked us to be his distribution network, so other than DK Custom Products and bikerscum, there should be no one else selling them, other than dealers who get them from one of us.

 

1 set of four, you can see them HERE.

The rocker shafts only need to be locked on one side, so that is 2 Rocker Lockers per head.

 

OK Last question. Can you simply pull one bolt at a time and install without pulling the assembly?

 

Yes, you can loosen all the bolts, then pull one out and install the Rocker Locker, then go to the next. You do NOT need to pull the assembly out of the engine.

If you email us a note asking for the Step-by-Step instructions with pictures, we will email you a PDF of them so you can see how easy it is.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was confused because the manufacturer on your page shows "Manufacturer: DK/Rocker Locker".

I thought you were third person making them.
