Zactly. When I started mine up initially I had zero clatter or top end noise. We put them in my neighbors bike too (just to quiet down the top end - stock cams) and it runs quiet as a mouse now. We put SE Tapered Adjustables in his at the same time. That's money well spent for those who have the problem of their top end noise (tick, tick, tick) driving them nuts.

Other than not being made stateside you can't beat gaterman gp1023's for price and function. For $140 you get a triple feed oiler, oiler for roller, and a lifter that doesn't bleed down fast and is reliable. Add the axtell bypass and you will have good lubrication throughout the system at all rpm ranges.

hello my brothers happy thanksgiving.im in the market to do a cam job on my 2011 road glide ultra i narrowed it down that i want andrews 57h cams.today at my local stealer got 30% off black friday sale and bought the SE tapered pushrods.so now reading all this i guess I'm going to need lifters i don't want to do this job twice and being that the stock have 10k on them i think putting new cams with used wear item might not be good.so need help on what are good lifters for my bike.my set up is andrews 57h cams,SE tapered adjustable pushrods.

Had to fly to Canada for a family thing, hopefully the tappets will be at work waiting for me when I get back. Will be stopping by the dealership on my way home from the airport to pick up a clutch spring (since apparently the bike doesn't come stock with a heavy duty one like the parts guy told me), and some tappet cover gaskets. Funny that the Quickee Rods same company sku code from some places like Amazon (Power Sports), and Revzilla include the gaskets but the ones I bought from Phat performance don't yet they all had the same sku's. No big deal, still cheaper going the route I did but funny nevertheless.

Wow! You must be doing a lot of replacements

If this is the first time you're taking the lifter covers off, I would reuse the gaskets. just put them back the same way they came off.

Yup meant the quickees they came with the rod covers I meant to say the gaskets for the tappet covers. I didn't realize they could be re-used which is great. Thought I had to replace anytime I opened the covers but this would be my first time and the engine will have only had one summer and 5000 miles of use.

For a guy that has a full time IT job, yeah I do a lot of side work. I think my own bike has probably seen 250 miles in the past 2 months. She's feeling lonely and neglected.
