Default Adjustable Pushrods ??

FuelMotos use the stock pushrod tube....for those of you that have used them were they any harder to install then the types that come with new pushrod tubes also such as the Screaming Eagle or S&S kind. My dealer wanted to charge more labor to use the FuelMoto pushrods because he said they were harder to put in then the others that come with different tubes.

IMO if you use them a lot probably not that big a deal. But I found it to be kind of tight the first time the second time was much easier. Dont ask why I did it two times. LOL However I already bought new push rod tubes so when I eventually do the big bore kit I am defiantly using them.

i've only installed pushrods once so i don't have much to compare to but putting fuelmoto's pushrods in my stock tubes was pretty damn easy and i can't see how different tubes would change anything.....

Did fuelmoto give you that tube tool that holds the tube up? If so...did that help out?
I've been thinking of using theirs also.

Thanks,

BTW: the other adjustable pushrods come with tubes that are shorter I think, to give easier access to the rod adjustment nuts.

What it changes is dont need the damn easy tool holder upper in your way.

Most have probably seen it but J&P has posted a nice YouTube video of changing out and adjusting S&S pushrods with complete cam change video. Interesting to watch even if your not using their pushrods or cams. Thought it interesting they used a paperclip and rubber band to hold tube up. Make it look easy but they skip all the prep and wrap up tasks.
