Found it. Read this there's details on Johnson.

Just installed this in my new build. Pumped right up and they're quiet. Look well built and the axles are much bigger than the stockers I took out.

Default lifters

Went with HD 's B lifters at 40K miles the 93 FLHS now has 74K miles They got my vote The B lifters are designed to keep the needle bearings from falling out like the HD orig lifters had problems with back in the early 90's

I just put screaming eagle lifters in mine, hopefully a wise choice.

I see Johnson offers their lifter for the evo in two ways: "Steel" or "Cast" at about 10 bucks difference for a set. Does it really matter which one? Is the steel better than the cast?

It looks like their prices came down from a few years ago so I wonder why? YD

I wouldn't think that one could get the tolerances one would need with cast lifters...
