Harley Pushrods and Parts

Buying Guide and FAQs

Buying Guide: Factors to Consider When Choosing Harley Bike Engine Pushrods and Parts

• Compatibility: Ensure pushrods and parts match your Harley's engine type (e.g., Evo, Twin Cam, Shovelhead, M8) and model (e.g., Big Twin, XL Sportster). Use the vehicle selector for year-specific fits (e.g., 1966-1984 Shovelhead, 1986-2017 Twin Cam) to avoid valvetrain or lift issues.
• Type of Use: For high-lift cams or performance riding, select adjustable pushrods and high-lift collars/springs; standard or touring builds benefit from low-profile collars and fixed pushrods for reliable operation in daily conditions.
• Components and Upgrades: Choose pushrod kits with tubes, covers, clips, springs; upgrade to adjustable chromoly pushrods or high-lift valve springs/collars for enhanced cam support and travel.
• Brand and Quality: Opt for Andrews for high-lift collars/springs and adjustable pushrods, Feuling for HP+ and race pushrods, Colony/Drag Specialties for pushrod tube kits, or Arlen Ness for billet covers. Prioritize chromoly steel/aluminum with hard-coating for durability and lift capability.
• Installation and Cost: Most parts are bolt-in or kit-based for DIY valvetrain upgrades; prices range from $37.95 for collars to $300.95 for adjustable pushrods—factor in USA-made quality and free shipping over $99 for value.
