Adjustable push rods
I recently installed a set of cr575 cams and S&s standard lifters in my 2007 night train and all went well. I reused my original pushrods but think I can quiet up the chatter by switching out to a set of adjustable push rods. I am looking into the fuelmoto pushrods but am curious if there are better ones out there. I will be removing the rocker boxes so I don't need a set of quicky push rods

Fuel Moto`s are Smith Brothers I believe - I bought mine from them, you wont find a better adjustable pushrod - adjusting them can be a PITA but well worth it IMO.

I ended up going with fuelmoto pushrods but not quite sure how many flats/ turns I need to do to get .140 inches of preload

3 turns are .0989. Each turn is .0329666666. 4 turns will get you to .13186666666. Or you could go 10-11 flats from bottom lash. I prefer to set mid travel and do 3 full turns from bottom.

It depends on if you want to pull the gas tank off and go threw the rocker boxes or cut the stock pushrods and install them that way. IMO the extra money for quick pushrods and tubes is not worth it. I went with quick pushrods cause I had a discount with fuel moto and got their pushrods for the same price. Fuelmoto pushrods can use the oem push rod covers cutting down on price
