If you don't spend at least $250 for 4 lifters you are not using your head and don't need to be riding a harley. I will put nothing in my bike that is not made for a harley in fact I even call harley or some harley part manufacture to send me the correct air to run in my tires.
I hope you're running the HD winter air right now. It's calibrated special, you know.....

I will say that I have run S&S lifters, I've put Johnson Hylift lifters in guys' bikes and am currently running Gaterman lifters now with .625" lift cams. Never had a problem with any of them.
