Default Adjustable pushrods?

I have a 95 Flht with an 89 inch stoker kit in it.
I think I have a lifter failing on me.
I have V-Thunder adjustable pushrods but they are not the time saver type.
I would like to replace them with the time saver type.
Do I need a different length pushrod because is is a stroker?
Any recommendations for lifters or push rods?

Thanks

The length should be the same. The cylinders are the same, right? In the stroker kits, you get a different crank, rods, pistons.

Although some people really don't like them, I personally have never had a problem with mine, which are Andrews brand. Anyway, get a name brand set and you should be OK. As far as lifters go, I stick with the OEM ones. Some people have good results with the Jim's brand, and I think there are some other name brand ones as well. Probably S&S, and I would trust about anything S&S sells for an Evo.

You only need different length pushrods if you have a high lift cam.
What cam are you running?

I think needing longer push rods is determined by the cam having the same base lobe as the stock cam. The base lobe is the plain round part where there's not lift. If it's the same as stock then stock length push rods are needed. I'd prefer non adj on my bike just to take away the chance of the lock nut backing off an it coming out of adjustment. I have rivera on mine. Make sure you get the correct adj procedure for the one's you're using since the thread pitch is different on different brands.

I have a Crane 300 cam.
I currently have V-Thunder adjustable push rods but they are not the time saver type.
I was hoping to cut them out and replace them with the time saver type.
