Lifters for V-Twin Replica Motors

Do the V-Twin Replica Panheads come with solid or hydraulic lifters? Is it solid for 48-52 and hydraulic for later or what?

Solids are for every Knuckle and Pan motor. The re-pop Pan motors ship w/ hydraulic lifters to make them fool-proof. You would have to put a conversion kit into the tappets to run soilds. I would, because I only trust myself when it comes to push rod adjustment. Hydraulic automatic lash adjustment, in my opinion, is something the devil thought up. I'd rather monitor tappet roller-bearing wear, than trust push rod-lash to devil-worship engineering. But, of course that's just me. Not advise to everyone else.

EZ, stay away from anything from Vtaiwan.
Or you're regret that you threw away your money on crap.

Read in the archives all the troubles that people had buying that crap.
& listening to vintage twin is useless he's a dealer for them. So sure he's gonna push their crap. & he's has necer built anything, he has it built for him.

Ok, Restoray, I'll bite. If you say V-Twin is junk, where else would you get the parts necessary to build a replica bike and how would you know that that companies parts are any better than V-Twins parts. Don't all the suppliers buy from pretty much the same manufacturers?
