se adjustable pushrods
Do the pushrods come with decent instructions on setting them up correctly? Are they difficult to get them right? Gathering info and parts at the present time. Dealer by me is offering 20-50% off storewide for the next 2 weeks and I want to get a few things from the parts department while I can.

Kerstings Cycle Center in Winamac, In.
They are having a "Crusin' to Daytona" sale Feb 10-28. Discounts of 20%-50% off storewide including previously discounted items.
I didn't buy my bike from these guys but will definitely look into it for the next one. Great shop. The one I bought my bike from is about 5 minutes from meand I have yet to receive any mailing from them about anything. I guess spending +20k doesn't entitle you to be on a mailing list.

RE: se adjustable pushrods
Take your time installing (instructions are good), but don't overtorque the lock nuts! The mech that installed the ez rods on my King (for the last owner) torqued them good and I had to cut them out because the threads on the rods were too jacked up to fully collapse the rods for removal.

Are you still able to use the stock pushrod tubes with the adjustables or do I need to purchase different tubes with the rods?

RE: se adjustable pushrods
My advice is to get them adusted, then put a drop of blue Loctite on the nut even though the intructions don't call for it. I had one loosen up after about 2k miles. It happened on the interstate, I couldn't hear well because of the traffic to figure out what was happening. I stopped the bike and tried to restart it one too many times. It kicked back and bent a pushrod. I had to get a trailer ride home. Loosened adjustables aren't common, but they aren't rare either. I have shared this story on other forums and had more than one guy say the same thing happened to them.
