Default Adjustable Pushrods

Ok, I'll start by saying I was an idiot, I put a new Andrews EV27 cam in my fatboy, and never measured cam end play. only put about 20 miles on it since then (winter here). So I plan on taking it back down and checking end play but don't want to remove rocker boxes, gas tanks etc. So I plan on putting adjustable pushrods in this time around.

I was searching ebay and found a set of Maddog btp Adjustable pushrods very reasonable. Ive never heard of the brand and was wondering if any one had any advice to on them?

Sorry if this is a repeat question, I tried searching forum and had no luck.

Spend a little more jingle and get a better set of push tubes, you will need a set of easy install push tubes, some of the adjustables still need the rockers pulled. I bought the Screamin Eagle's due to a Harley rewards check givin to me but not the easiest tubes to adjust.
V-Thunders, Crane, Andrews are reputable tubes but look past the cheap price of the Maddogs because they are "cheap"

Hey dude, I ran the maddogs, they suck... Hard to adjust, threads are sticky, and I ripped them out and installed a set of cranes I got off e-bay, WOW e-z install is right, smooth threads that make for an easy adjustment, yep ya get what ya pay for, oh also at one point one of the maddogs even backed off on a road trip had to sit and wait for the motor to cool and do the adjustment in a parking lot... Thats my story and I'm sticking to it!!!

I'm running the Screaming Eagle quick install pushrods in my 99. I have had no problems with them, and they were fairly easy to adjust I thought, although I have never tried anything else. I am still running a stock cam as I just changed out the cam brg. only.
