We stock/use nothing but genuine S&S pushrods here.
Tried, true, trusted.
They have been manufacturing pushrods since 1958.

Default What Changed?

There is more info & full installation instructions at https://university.fuelmotousa.com/a...n-cam-engines/

Here is a video of the install procedure

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

I just installed the latest version of the Fuel Moto EZ pushrods. I only have 200 miles on them but so far I am very pleased.
