Your drawing is dated 1962. Pretty cool. How did you come by it?

Roller rockers are not practical for a worthy of the expense for a pedestrian R50 or R60. I have a few friends in Germany racing short stroke R50's, although I doubt any of them are running rollers either. Requires a completely new forging to construct. Nobody would go through the time and expense.

Yes. I agree it would be a
Yes. I agree it would be a lot of effort ot make a forging, but in this day of C&C, doing a small run or even one offs is relatively easy. This may be my next line of research,
As pointed out earlier in the post, San Jose use to offere roller rockers for /5+ airheads....so at least someone has thought along these lines and a /5's rocker arms are not dramatically different from a /2.

More power to you
Its a deep and dark rabbit hole to go down.....
First off you need a forging, unless you plan to make from a steel billet. Then you need the right material. Then you have to have machine to the correct size and dimensions, which by the way, there will be no drawing for. You have to harden it. Then you also need to fabricate the roller itself and find needle bearings, etc, etc.
Not worth the time and energy I can assure you. Would cost thousands of dollars in time, energy, expense, etc.
