Good find. Judging by the online catalog you can order now, $141.70 is a hell of a price.

Don't forget you have to install these. What is the going rate to swap trunions?

What's involved with doing that? Is it something the home mechanic can tackle?

Everything on the factory rockers looks to be pressed together so I cant see this as something that can be done with hand tools.

I have a 20T press and some old rockers at home. I'll see if I can figure it out when I get some free time.

Looks like Comp is using a caged bearing design. This is the design that failed on the HS with their first design units. They (HS) have since changed to a full compliment bearing wich results in larger rollers and better load spreading.

Welp maybe you took my post the wrong way. I was pointing out some key differences between them that I have found out thru some research and phone calls to HS. Nowhere near 2600 but still very light indeed compared to most.
