Depends if they are B or C lifters. I'd toss C's.

even mid-stream of the B lifters, they switched to Mexico made so they are as much trash as the C lifters are.

I put all my take off parts on Ebay. You'd be surprised what you get for them. Start your auction at $10 or $15 for the lifters and the same for the cams.

I put them on my desk at work. People come in my office and ask the heck are those? Opens the door for me to explain my mechanical ability.

C lifter started in 2011, that's when they started having them made in Mexico instead of the USA. Quality went way down!

It all went in my scrap bin, I would not use any Harley stock lifters, I changed mine to V- Thunder lifters made by Comp Cams and my engine was much quieter.

You make some tap handles with the cams.
