Guys, I have a stock 2007 DYNA FXD BIG TWIN 50K+miles. I want to replace my lifters, rockers, rocker pins and possibly the rocker arm supports. I want to stick with non adjustable push rods. I am look at S&S products, they have a good rep. Thoughts on this, what are good options. Thanks

Understand lifter replacement but why the other components? Unless damaged, all should still be within service limits. Check the rocker shafts for witness marks that would indicate movement in the support and consider installing a set of Rocker Lockers. S&S Standards would be a suitable lifter replacement but if you want to spend a bit more, look at the Premiums. https://rockerlockers.com/
Have a look around my website, cheap & very effective addition while you're in there

Djl, Thank for the quick shout back. Yep, will definitely go after the lifters but figured I would tinker around while I am in there and replace some other parts in the valve train. Have 50K miles, live in Japan and don't want to break down over here because that can be expensive.

Can't go wrong with S&S on valve train parts. Why do you want to stick with solids? If you can measure what you need. SE makes solids in stock, 3 plus and 3 minus that would be easy for you to source.
FWIW, the only major real wear item is the lifters in that list.
We've seen 130,000 plus on those components in service wear limits.
Inner cam bearings would be a mighty good idea.
