Hardly Abelson is only one of the many brands that have hydraulic lifters.

These bikes all have hydraulic valve lash adjustment, and I'm sure there are many more:
Kawasaki - Vulcan 750, 1500, 1600, 2000
Kawasaki Nomad
Suzuki - Intruder, Bulevard
Yamaha - Road Star
Honda Shadow 750
Honda Shadow 1100
Honda Goldwing 1200, 1500, 1800

Besides,.... EVERY 4-stroke bike, even those without hydraulic lifters, have self-adjusting valves. Over time, some valves adjust themselves to get looser, and some adjust themselves to get tighter.

If you think there's good in everyone, you haven't met everyone.

Well, they did until 2001. The 1800s have solid lifters. This I know to be true. They are a shim under bucket design and hardly ever need adjusting, however.
