Installed the Bender pushrod in lieu of Fuelmotos cause Fuelmotos weren’t available at the time. Sort of a pain to adjust because the top part of the pushrod was almost covered by the tubes. Got it done and the bike runs fine. Don’t know if the FuelMoto would have been any easier

Replacement was not offered because we did not have the FM pushrods back in stock until a couple hours ago. I again apologize and we will get the FM pushrods shipped out to you with a return tag for those shipped.

Fuel Moto let me know about the substitution when I phone ordered my cam two weeks ago. I was OK with using them, there is a machined flat in the threaded area.
I just made sure to measure them (before/after adjustment) to be sure of the exact extension for my application before installing. Was out yesterday doing some full throttle pulls, still holding quietly together.

They are of very good quality however we do have the FM EZ pushrods back in stock as of today and are more than happy to get them to you ASAP with a return tag for the ones you recieved.

Yet, you stated on HTT to me. That you have only used S&S pushrods since 2019, but here you are saying that you have used Bender and use them in house.

Use to be. The ones I have seen in the latest kits and advertised on website are Bender.

The original FM pushrods were made by Smith Brothers, however since 2019 all FM pushrods have been manufactured by S&S Cycle in Viola, WI (as shown in your the link)
