You can if you want but it's a wasted $100 IMO.
I had some adjustables in my bike and the damn lock nut came loose.
I pulled them back out and reinstalled solids when I rebuilt my motor.

Unless you are going with a radical cam there is no need for adjustables.

BTW I think you would like an EV 13 better in that big of a bike.
It's got more torque at the low end to get all that mass moving.
