I went with S&S big axle lifters for mine.
Some say they are overkill for an 80" motor but I like overkill in engine parts.

Went with Jims in my 84. They tried going with the big axle set up but kept having failures. They reverted back to their original style and there are no reported lifter failures that I have read about.

Thanks for all of the input. I'm at about 60k and getting a little noisy. I figure better to change them now before I have a larger issue.

I've heard good reviews from these. I used S&S , but on a budget I would use these. Some on E-Bay.


Ride Safe,

I second these. Recommended to me by someone else on here. I believe they make them for another brand, maybe oem don't remember. Mine are quiet pumped up right away on first start.

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

NICE. I saw these on ebay for under 100.00. I thought it was to good to be true. I'dd add them to the list of things to buy to get the evo back in top form again.
