travel limiters are small precisely measured rings that go in the bottom of your lifters to limit the travel but give a small amount of cushion unlike solids. They essentilly cut the travel of a normal lifter in half which helps in case you miss a shift at 6000 rpms

Adjustable pushrods do not necessarily allow you to install a new cam without removing the rocker boxes. I learned this the hard way by purchasing S&S adjustables for my cam install. You need "quick install adjustable pushrods" to avoid pulling rocker boxes.
Although they require removing the rocker boxes, adjustable are better than quick installs because quick installs have a much longer narrow threaded length so they are not as strong as an adjustable.
For ease of install, quick install is great. However, solid and adjustable pushrods are more durable in the long run. The way I ride my scoot, I want the strongest components possible in my engine. Haven't personally heard of a broken quick install pushrod but I don't want to be the first either.
