So I want to put a new set of lifters in my XB9 while I have it torn apart ad having a hard time finding choices and deciding. NRHS sells Fueling for $145 a set, V-Thunder (CompCams) suggests a lifter that is $52 each, then there is always stock which at this point is less expensive.

To add to the confusion V-Thunder lists their 850-1 and 875-1 as compatible with 2000 to present Buells (doesn't specify models), these are cheap at about $60 a set. A phone call suggested the $52 each lifter for the Evo motor.

So what do I need to look for to get the correct lifters? Can I simply get Evo lifters?

Stock?

I've run Jim's Hydro-solids for years in the racebike with adjustable pushrods but don't think I'm spinning the motor fast enough to justify the hassle.

It don't want anything that requires me to fool around with adjustable push rods, so I guess purely hydraulic is what I am looking for.

I found a post on another forum where the poster used the V-Thunder 850-1 so I just bought a set, I'll measure everything I can before they go in since there is little info on them in a Buell. I did get a response back from V-Thunder (CompCams) that the 875-1 should be fine but decided the stock-ish 850-1 would be better for me right now.
