Getting ready to purchase a redshift 468 cam for my 2018 Street Glide and was wondering if i should just maintain with my stock pushrods and lifters ? Or go with the kit from fuelmoto ( adjustable pushrod and lifters )
Can I maintain my original pushrods and lifters or should change them too?? If I maintain the original pushrods and lifters, will it effect other parts ??
The job is easier with the quick pushrods. You won't have to open the rocker boxes. Since your in there may as well upgrade the lifters since harley ones are minimal. Most of us also replace the lifter guides with the aluminum ones. You should also be upgrading the cam bearing..... since your in there.
. Go with the kit. Best option, do it right the first time, ya know.
You don't mention the mileage, but I almost always replace the lifters when installing a cam regardless of the mileage. There are much better options than the OEM lifters, ie S&S, Hylift or Fueling. And quick install style pushrods, while they are not cheap, they eliminate the need to remove the rocker covers which reduces labor to install the cam.
The survey didn't allow the option to chose more than one radio button, or I would have selected cam, lifters and pushrods.

HD updated the oil pump in 2019 in response to sumping problems on some bikes, so I'd get the latest oil pump form HD unles yours already has it (I doubt it does). It's good insurance since you are in the cam cover anyway. They are surprisingly inexpensive for a genuine HD part. The cam plate should be fine for your application.
My 2019 Roadglide had a June 21 2019 build and it had the latest version oil pump. My mechanic still changed lifters and pushrods when he installed the Redshift 472 cam.
