For those interested we recently changed up the FM pushrods to a completely different design that users should find more user friendly, the Fuel Moto EZ Quick Install pushrods are easy to install and adjust, and they work with stock pushrod tubes. The fit all Milwaukee-8 and Twin Cam engines.
I am getting ready to change my Cam, what exactly did you change with your rods? I am intrigued that I can use the stock tubes and not drop another 150 on something i dont need.. but if a rod fails this can turn out to be a costly mistake.. this is what (and i believe what) pushes others to S&S all of the time.. but i have found FM makes an outstanding product which is why i am tossing the idea around to go with your new rods..

the Fuel Moto EZ pushrods are completely different than our previous offerings in design and function to be easier to use and they are very robust, enough so they carry a lifetime warranty. These proprietary components are built to our specs by right in Viola, Wisconsin > home of S&S Cycle
