Jim gave me a set of them to try when they first came out. I put 20k miles on them and sent them back as per the agreement. I didnt notice any changes with or without them. They looked really good when I pulled them out. I would not hesitate to use them again.
glad they worked out , i rider on the facebook group had two come apart on him they said it was a bad batch , so nope for me thanks
Jims, Bad batch? That bad batch lasted for years. Evidently still going.

Not all Jims lifters are equal. This is like saying all Fords are junk because one model from their car line has issues back in the '90s.

After reading up on them, I wouldn't have any qualms about running them either. Bushings mat be "old school" but they rarely catastrophically fail
No experience with these bushed lifters. I had Evo and TC lifters fail from Jims, so admit I have a case of the red A$$ for Jims lifters. I defer to those that have used these.
The same manufacturer makes lifters for Jims and Isky.
