Rigid_EVO Adjustable push rods preference?

[treerat01]

If you have adjustable push rods, which brand do you prefer and why? Also do you prefer EZ or regular which you remove the rocker boxes to install. Please not a bunch of why or just use stock, let's just leave it at I want adjustable and I can. Just want which ones do you like and why. Thanks

I have S&S adjustable pushrods in my 03. With the engine in the frame the ability to adjust without removing tank or struggling with rocker bolts seems like a logical choice.

+1 for the S&S pushrods. At present, the most affordable quality pushrods available. They have one set with an adjustment range of 9.5 - 11.5 inches or some such that will fit nearly anything in the H-D field. I have also had good service from the Comp Cams pushrods, but I don't know if they make any short enough for an XL.

i use rivera and colony covers to access
i also run s&s spacers and run in the solid mode, just enough clearance to give .030>.035 stem clearance to quite the valve train.
reason: rev can go to 7.5k, no worries about lifter collapse or pump up, cold start
only thing i can suggest is finer TPI allows for finer adjustment.

+1 on the tappet limiters. An often overlooked upgrade that I have used frequently.
