Compare prices WITH shipping, don't be fooled by imitations.
From a user right here on HFD...
"Add another member to the ROCKOUT Marching and Chowder Society!
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."
Yeah, that
STOP that top end TAPPING!
ROCKOUTS!!

MY research into the maddening top end tapping problem FINALLY found the cause, and the cure. I discovered that the noise is actually caused by the rocker shafts rotating back and forth along with the rocker arms & clacking against the hold down bolts. ORIGINAL ROCKOUTS lock those shafts in place, stopping the rotation AND THE TAPPING!!
From the guy who found & CURED the problem NO ONE ELSE COULD...
Rockout rocker shaft inserts STOP that Top End ticking/tapping in it's tracks!
The reports from happy TAP FREE Rockout customers just keep on coming...
"ALL HAIL JOHN & HIS AMAZING ROCKOUTS....
Fun diving in and installing these lil miracles and went in as advertised! Fired her up and OMG, nothing but sweet big twin rumble. Went out for the quietest tick free ride I've had since owning her.
Thanks Man... great product, great results."
"Finished up my 107 install this afternoon. Installed the Rockouts, installed new breather assembly, and opened up drain holes while I was in there. Looking at the bolts I couldn't see much if any witness marks but the tapping was still there. After installing the Rockouts and taking the bike out for its test run, I can honestly say this bike has never been this quiet. Thanks John for the time you dedicated to finding and fixing this problem."
"I ordered two sets, have an 08 RK and a 2012 Limited, got the RK's installed recently along with a new compensator, primary bearing ,cams ,lifters,tensioner pads and more. LOL, the freakin thing is so quiet it actually sounds timid ! All I hear is the hum of a turning crankshaft, I did have some trace marks on the rocker shafts so I'm sure they've made a difference. Can't wait to do the Limited, maybe I can sneak up on a Goldwing !! LOL ! A great and easy mod, thanks John, "silence is golden" !!!"
"My feelings are HOLY CRAP. Thanks for coming up with this. Great product."
"Installed mine last night. I admit I was skeptical when I saw this but like others have said, for $15 and a few hours time it couldn't seem to hurt. Some of these bikes are worse than others and mine always seemed to be louder. After doing my 107 I really figured the ticking was just going to be louder (and it was) but it's an exposed engine, so what can you do? THAT annoying noise is now gone. I really was shocked and genuinely pleased that something so simple and inexpensive but perfectly designed worked exactly as described. I would and will recommend these to anyone that asks."
"I installed Rockouts in my bike a few weeks ago. I also installed a 107 kit at the same time. I have run the bike a few times with no tapping noises. I would say if you have the top end apart for the small amount that they cost its worth it. I could see where the bolt and the pin were contacting and was surprised how much movement the shaft has behind the bolt. I will definitely recommend this product."
"I installed my Rockout's last week. Wrench time was about 1.5 beers. Super simple installation. The Rockout's cured the tick! Now I just have the normal Harley noises. Great product!"
MORE comments since the original post...
"I did my installation on Friday, on the bench with all new bolts and breather kits. I thought my Ultra was pretty quiet to begin with, but the difference in the sound of the engine now is nothing short of amazing. I even thought that there was a bit of a placebo effect going on in most of the posts regarding the Rockouts, as I was quite skeptical that it could make that big of a change. I took the bike for a 3 hour ride today without earplugs. I have never done that with any Harley I have owned. That small but nasty little ticking took away the pleasure of riding. Not anymore! It's hard to believe that something this simple could make such an extraordinary change in the tone of the engine. I'm guessing that these posts have already made it to the desk of the engineers at Harley, and it wouldn't surprise me if the 2017's include this fix. Um, maybe not. Thanks!"
"After doing mine I swear it even shifts quieter... Okay, maybe not. Or does it?"
"Another happy customer. I can't believe the difference it made!"
"OK - just back from the test run......
Night and day difference is all I can say. Hard to understand that the tapping can just be "gone". John - you nailed it dude. I will be telling others.
Thanks."
"Installed Rockouts in my 07 Ultra today. Very easy to follow instructions. Fired bike up and no noise. Definitely would recommend. Best $15 I have spent on the bike. Thanks for your efforts."
"I have a 2012 FLHTK with 45k miles on it. I also was experiencing the “drive me crazy” ticking/clicking on startup and around 1900-2400 rpms. Also had a lifter that was bleeding off too fast at shut down. So while I had the bike in the shop for the install of my new S&S lifters, I ordered what I thought was the fix for my “drive me crazy” tick. Found out through this forum that I had not ordered the product that I thought I had ordered. I contacted John at Rockout Rocker Products where I found out in fact I had not ordered his product. Excellent customer service from John, received my “Rockout Rocker “ items. With the installation of new S&S lifters and the Rockout product my bike runs like a fine tuned sewing machine. Not click-clack at start up, no noise at 1900-2400… Road today with a half helmet and all I hear is the pure of the motor just like a well-oiled sewing machine. Since I had both products, I checked the inserts visually and with a digital caliber. Rests assure the Rockout Rocker Products appear to be a better product than the other (not to mention the other name). The outer diameter is slightly different, thus the Rockout insert fits much better, and the material they are made of appears to be stronger. I ’m sold 110% on the Rockout Rocker inserts. Thanks John for a great product. www.rockout.biz email rock-out@att.net"
"including a 5th sleeve is pretty stand up of you, honestly. knowing that, I'd tell someone to go with ROCKOUT over the competition."
And MANY MANY more!

I got my kit through Amazon last week. Installing this weekend. One of the five brass sleeves was flattened. Hope I don't need a spare.
Hey brother, thank you very much for purchasing my Rockout kit.
Please PM me your full name & shipping address & I'll have a new kit off to you tomorrow.
My apologies for the trouble,
John @ Rockout

Hey John,
They only trouble I had was getting the rear assembly out. After loosening up the bolts, I gave up trying to get it out of there. I know there is a way but ... anyway, I just took the needed bolts out and lubed the brass sleeve and pushed it in to 3/8 then slowly turned the bolt back down in. Went fine. The only thing that worries me is I did not lock-tight the breather bolts. I missed that then re-read the manual after. Hopefully oil didn't seep down into the rear holes. I did use swabs on the front. The breather bold holes is where the oil was. I got the swabs into the rear breather bolt holes too though.
Anyway there is another rattle that I was hearing before that is still there. Perhaps my primary chain has gotten loose or something. I'm going to check that tomorrow.
