Before you tear into or buy anything find some straight 50wt and do an oil change, pay attention to any differences in sounds or feel of the bike in general. This can tell you a number of things about the engine's condition overall. That kind of mileage the whole valve train is worn from the lifters & blocks to the rocker arm bushings. Quiets down some with the heavy oil it confirms the wear is real.

Comes to it, I have a few sets of very low mile evo S&S lifters, rocker arms and the small sporty style 3 pc rocker boxes off the 88" engines when they were doing them for Indian.

If the sound makes you cringe, then something is seriously wrong.

a few hundred miles and why 11 miles? inquiring minds want to know, whats the difference between that and letting the bike idle for 5 to10 mins while they pump up?

Unless it was at the HD shop I sincerely doubt they were OEM.
Only way to get good idle oil pressure is to replace worn tappet guides. Tappets are made of steel. Guides are aluminum and wear out much quicker.
