Default Roller Rockers and Such

2007 FXDSE with a built 113, headwork, yada yada, Wood 999-6a cam....sum bitch is a rocket from hell. Thinking about doing the CSR roller rocker support plate, S&S stock ratio roller rockers, gorilla rocker shafts, and S&S breather. Total cost is probably $1400. Bad money spent?

Bad.
Except for maybe helping to keep the after market afloat.
Spend it on gas and a road trip. Sounds like you already have a fun build. Ride it.

Wait until the next time you have the engine apart & then perhaps add the roller rockers & assorted what nots. In the meantime, ride & enjoy it & steer clear of the rabbit holes.

$1,400 on an Upgrade that you'll notice Zero in Performance? If it was a Race Motor, yes, Street Motor, Nope.
