Well done  :2vrolijk_21:

Thank You kind Sir :2vrolijk_21:


Did the same myself first time I fitted adjustable pushrods and new lifters. Started it up and one was ticking. Checked all the pushrods and the last one I checked was too slack (I must have set it with some lift on the cam). Set it properly and all was well.
It's a nice feeling isn't it when you start it and the noise has gone.

hylift lifters, yes its more work, but the umbrella valves are known to go bad, so i did the upgraded housings, and could verify all else is good. so it was still quite a bit cheaper. i searched all over and got all the gaskets and the breathers for less than a hundred bucks. all HD parts. lifters for 75 dollars. cash out of less than 175 for the job.

one gotcha was the o rings on the fuel line. they were bad and had to be replaced but other than that it was really pretty easy.

i run a sidecar - and adjusting push rods from above leaning over the bike.....

bike is paid for, is plenty fast, we want to keep it as long as we can ride.
