  Tomorrow's a public holiday and I'm gonna be pulling the Fatboy apart and install Rocker lockers in her.

  I ordered a set a few weeks ago but a few days later I thought I'll get a spare set incase. 

  Price wasn't bad at about $65.00 a set delivered.

  I'll post some pics tomorrow and see how I go.

  If the shafts are slapping the bolts causing noise then they will cure it, thing is it might be something else but it does eliminate that problem, I use them, some think it's snake oil, if there are witness marks on your bolts and you fit them then that's one clack less.

  Good question BB.

  Many years ago there were certain types of persons whom asscociated with a partictular, err fold, for want of a better word.

  OK,

  there were the sharpies who rode a small wheeled thingos. Vespa was the common denominator, Sharpie was also aliggned with their hair style sorto weird and sharp.

  Next we had the Bikies, who rode mainly Pomie jazz , Triumph, BSA, Norton,AJS, and even Greeves, That many would not know what the fuck they were, plus some other stuff, AJS, Ariel, and so for forth. These dudes, were not to be fucked with, working in MC shop in early 70's was not uncommon to see a customer with a strapped pistol under arm, ex Viet vets, with a road to ride, they were cool. Then there weere the skeg heads, surfers. Pretty inococus crew unless ganged. 

  I got on with all off them, when the shit hit fan, I was found to be a 16 year old under the pool table, till things quientened down at the certain pubs drank at, and would kick my 1971 XS1 Yamaha, and more than often carry someone home on the back. Arrh the olden days.

  Didnt answer ya question but a story, that was all good...

  I'm following Grease Monkey on this one though.

  Well took it apart and had a look at the bolts and they had minor marks on them and the bolts were sloppy, The shafts were real tight.

  So went ahead and installed them , The bolts are a tight fit now no slop at all. The ticking I could hear is all gone now so they worked for my Fatboy.

  Here are some pics , If you do'em dont forget to change the O rings that come with the kit. I'm happy it got rid of the ticking and surprised how clean it was in there.

  i put em in my bike last year too.
  
  definitley quieter and they also make lining up the rocker assembly more accurate as well cause the slack is gone
  
  did you blow out the oil from the bolt holes before reassembly?

  Yes mate blew the oil out and soaked the bolts in Shellite to clean them up.
