I put these in a set of S&S Billet rocker boxes. Glad I purchased when I did about 10 years ago. Awesome upgrade
S&S Cycle Forged 8620 Steel Roller Rocker Arms - Harley Milwaukee-Eight
About S&S Cycle
S&S Cycle has built American V-twin performance parts in Viola, Wisconsin since 1958 — flywheels, carburetors, cams, cylinder heads and complete crate engines. When a Harley owner talks about a 124, a 128 or a 131 build, they are usually talking about S&S. Few names carry more weight with engine builders in this space.
S&S Cycle forged 8620 steel roller rocker arms are specifically engineered for Harley Milwaukee-Eight engines, featuring roller contact surfaces to significantly reduce valvetrain wear under high-lift cam profiles. Designed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), these rocker arms are built to handle 0.550 inch lift and greater, supporting up to 0.650 inch maximum valve lift without compromising valvetrain longevity.
Why riders pick this
- Forged 8620 steel construction
- Roller contact surfaces reduce wear
- Optimized geometry for high-lift cams
- Supports 0.650 inch maximum valve lift
- Designed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
- 1.640 rocker ratio
When pushing the boundaries of your Milwaukee-Eight engine with aggressive camshafts, valvetrain stability and durability become paramount. S&S Cycle's forged 8620 steel roller rocker arms are the answer. Unlike traditional rocker arms, these units feature roller contact surfaces that eliminate valve thrust and reduce wear, crucial for maintaining valvetrain integrity with high-lift cams. The optimized geometry and robust construction, developed through Finite Element Analysis (FEA), ensure precise valve control and exceptional longevity, even with maximum valve lifts of up to 0.650 inches.

Common questions
Will these S&S roller rocker arms work with stock M8 cams?
Yes, these S&S Cycle roller rocker arms will work with stock Milwaukee-Eight cams, but they are specifically engineered to provide maximum benefit and durability for high-lift cam applications of 0.550 inch lift and above.
Do I need rocker arm supports or new shafts with these roller rocker arms?
These rocker arms are designed to be a direct replacement for the stock units. However, when upgrading to high-lift cams, it's always recommended to inspect all valvetrain components and ensure proper clearances.
What is the benefit of the roller contact surface?
The roller contact surface significantly reduces friction and eliminates valve thrust, which minimizes wear on the valve stem and guide, thereby extending the life of your valvetrain components, especially with aggressive cam profiles.
