you shouldn't need to take the tappet covers off. That's Why they're called quickee pushrods.

Download the instructions. My understanding for my bike the tappets do need to be removed for regular. Not crazy about S&S instructions they have every year in there and you have to sift through. Also pisses me off they don't print instructions anymore.

I installed the complete S&S kit when I replaced the cam chain tensioners.Yep, just remove the tappet blocks.You'll have to install the T blocks and pushrods at the same time if you use the kit I did. Kind of a handful but very doable.I used the regular adjustables rather than the quickees because they look a lot more robust. Follow the instructions to the letter and you'll be fine.
