So guys,
I see Gaterman Lifters pops up on a number of threads when doing a search, but I didn't see much on reviews of them. The look like a good product but some feedback would be good to hear.
If you've used them or are using them, what is your impression? Description of build would be good too including type of cam and head work (valve springs or seat force).

 

I ran Gatermans in my 04 when I did a 95" with Andrews 26G and headwork. They worked great. It was when they first came out and offered on ebay. Traded the bike in and the current owner still claims the bike is going strong with no issues.

 

Thanks Dawg, I've talked to Bill Gaterman about an issue I'm having on a new build using Woods cams. If it warrants a switch to different lifter, I'm going to give his a try. These lifters are designed specifically for our Harleys, not a small block Chevy lifter used in our bikes. He never put anyone's product down only explained what he designs into his lifters. What he has to say makes sense.

 

Subscribed, I too am interested in these. Plan on doing a cam swap soon. Looking for info on a quality, quiet, problem free lifter.

 

Except for the cam swap part.

 

I have used a set and my buddy has a set in his bike ....GREAT product, he told me If I wanted more I have to get them from HOT SHOT motorworks in ohio as he does not sell on e-bay anymore.

 

Isn't Jamie sending you some Wood directional lifters? If your bores are oversized, Feuling makes some for that very problem but they are pricey.

 

Can the Gaterman's be used with stock pushrods?

 

I know this thread/question is quite old but hoping someone could answer it.

Planning on using the Gaterman GP 1023 in a 96" cam swap using the stock pushrods.

Thanks in advance!

 

Lifters should all be the same length, so yes they can be used with stock pushrods.

It's the base circle on the cam that dictates whether you can re-use the stock pushrods or not.
