Default Ultima Roller Rockers?

Anyone here using Ultima roller rockers in their Evo? If so; what's your opinion's on them - good or bad? I saw these on Ebay" item # 310544448328 Shure is a price difference over S&S or Crane.

113fatboy,
Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I also noticed that the Ultima rockers are a different ratio than stock. They don't seem to be offered in the stock HD ratio? I will probably just keep the oem Harley rockers, when I install my Andrews EV27 cam and lifters. I will be raplacing the tappets though.

roller rockers arent needed for an EV27. they're worth (ive been told) ~ 1hp, give or take. not worth the coin unless you're running a cam that really gonna push the limit

Jasper86,
I figured with the EV27, roller rockers wouldn't make much difference in power. Probably quiet down the top end a little. Ultima doesn't make the roller rockers in the stock HD ratio - to my knowledge (I may be wrong though).

We tried them a few years ago............had about a 60% failure rate.
We WILL NOT subject our clients to that.
S&S rockers are what we used prior, and we do not deviate from those at this point.

Scott,
Thanks for that info! With the EV27 cam I am getting around to installing, I think I will just stay with the HD factory rockers. Can't see spending the extra $, on that mild of a cam.
