Default 103 lifter question

Hey guys just got my hands on a 2013 street glide. Changing cams out to some 2nd hand woods tw222 that I picked up and I've read that some suggest changing lifters. Not trying to break the bank with $300 woods but the standard s&s ones look reasonable.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Change the lifters out. If you can swing the S&S go for it. That is what I did in my 10 that I just put cams in. In my 09 I was on a budget and went with comp cams 850's

Don't go cheap on lifters. One bad lifter will cost you 6,000.00 plus for a new motor.

Funny thing is that a former harley tech of 10years was the one that informed me about them. He used them in many builds he did. Never had an issue with them. At $16 a piece they are a good deal. The Tech and I agree that there isn't anything as risky as the current stock HD lifters.
