Default Adjustable pushrods SUX

Need help!
Had 103 BB done on 08 Fatbob, 80 miles bike was down, took back to dealer & they were glad to confirm & fix problem. They said it was a pushrod (they said adjustable pushrods were the way to go) that had came loose & now bike was good to go, now 110 miles later, down again?? Note: when your bike quits its always in the middle of nowhere, would'nt have it any other way.
What should I do? Thought I would reinstall old pusrods? Why didn't they recommend this the first time? Lots of questions w/ bike on trailer again!
Thanks,
Jimmy

i"ve had the s.e. adjustable pushrods on my bike for over 14000 miles now,no problems. maybe your tech is the problem instead of the pushrods.

I used to live in OKC and went to Freedom Cycles for motor work. They rebuilt a couple motors for me and had no problems.
