Has anyone lightened the sintered rockers, i,m having block work done on my 1098 and am looking at other mods. The rockers look very brick like . I know some people will shake their heads but they seem to need the dremel to me.

Not worth bothering on a 1098. Lightening rockers is done to reduce valve train inertia and thus allow higher revs, like well over 7000 rpm, without the valves staying open due to this inertia.
With a 1098 you will not be revving over about 6000 rpm (unless you want a broken crank) so it's not an issue.
