I bought them but believe it or not I could not get them into the inner rocker cover. maybe the later Evo motors were made to closer tolerances.

@ DeputyLoud... bike is a 91 FXSTS

@ marktruckee... product is called 'Rocker Lockers' by DK Custom Products

http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/Rock...-DK-RL-BTE.htm

@98hotrodfatboy... yes, the inner hole for some reason was tighter, but it went in nonetheless

Once they're in place do you have to drive them out if you ever need to take your rocker system apart?

yes, you would need to... but i can't imagine it being very difficult requiring a heavy hammering given that they're tapered and install with relative ease
