I found these photos on my phone after making my short time elapsed video a few months ago. Basic and elementary of what I did when i put in the inserts. My bike still has some top end noise but it is significantly better and i got to look into my rocker boxes and do this simple task for 43 dollars. A good learning activity in my book
Remove tank, the Road King is very simple and in fact, was the first time I have removed it on this bike
Remove spark plugs, roll back tire around until tdc on from cylinder, pull rocker assembly
The 2 holes without bolts are where the rocker inserts go.
Oil breather assembly
Oil breather assembly and old foam
How to check direction on the insert. the small end goes in first
Pushes in by hand this far
Use nut to draw it in. don't force it, if it isn't easy, then the insert is catching on the inside
Thanks man, I truly appreciate your support, and help in spreading the word.
I also need to point out the tip about using the washer as a size gauge came from a member here... "bumpandrun".

I installed the kit when I rebuilt the top end and upgraded the cam chest, including Andrews TW57 cams, on my '99 Dyna.
What A freaking difference! I've owned four Twin Cam bikes, past and present, and the Dyna is quieter than any of them were, even when stock. The engine whirrs instead of clacking. I remember chasing valve train noises on my '01 Roadking, to great expense and time, and never got rid of the noise until I got rid of the bike.
The only drawback is that now I'm hearing other things I never heard before. I think I need a new compensator spring pack.
I'm a believer.

Thanks brother. It makes me very happy to hear stories like this 'cause I've been right where you've been.
Now go tell those Dyna guys
Thanks for the note,

Hey shoutout to Rockout! I have a 120 with some top end noise. I have roller rockers and wasn't sure the rockouts would quiet everything down but I think this solved it. Thanks man!!

Thank you for the inexpensive, effective solution. We don't often get it both ways.
I have Woods TW-7H cams that are pretty rowdy. Thanks for your research and invention!
.
I'm running these same cams and I have far more ticking than I believe to be acceptable. I just ordered a set of Rockouts shaft inserts and am hoping for the best.
I am a new to the forum and a new owner of a 2008 ultra. I installed the rockouts and new breather assembly today......total time 2 hours. They are awsome, the clatter is totally gone. Great product, I am impressed. Thanks.
