S&S Cycle Standard Hydraulic Tappet Assembly for 1991-1999 Harley-Davidson Sportster and Buell
Hydraulic tappets that are worn, collapsed, or bleeding down are among the most common causes of valve train noise and inconsistent performance in mid-generation Sportsters and Buells. Replacing them with fresh S&S units restores quiet self-adjusting operation and gives the engine the reliable valve timing it needs for confident daily street performance.
