You will still need ez install pushtubes if you're not removing the rocker boxes. Installing new tappet blocks has no effect on how short the pushtube will need to be made to get it in. (pushtubes or pushrods refer to the same piece.)

It was kinda like shoving a wet noodle up a wildcat's ***, but I did it on mine. Lots of pieces have to go in as a loose assembly, but if you take your time and think it through, it can be done. It did take me 2 attempts on the first one before I had enough parts stacked up.

The easy installs are the way to go NOT the normal adjustable ones. Just curious about the tappet block alignment tool , when I take my tappet blocks off I just reallign acording to where the bolts go in the holes.
I checked out your sig pics, beauty bike, I got my wife a a 89 heritage last fall and stripped it down, she didn't like the bags and carry rack. Where did you find the leather fender bib? Or any idea what there called?

Yeah thats what I was thinking. If worse comes to worse I'll just pull the rocker boxes. Didn't want to go with the EZ's cause I heard there can be a noise problem due to thickness
