IMS flightline shifter?

[BigMatt]

has anyone used the IMS flightline shifter? my stock one had a crack in the weld, so i got this one off e-bay, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120527758640&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT did i wast my money? i could have welded the stock one but i was going to make it longer.

i use one. that one seems to have a different bend. idk witch 1 i have but its a ims just like that one. its a shifter lever, the only reason i got it was because its not stock. its cool though.

well, put it on... I like it seems to be alot stiffer than stock one, but im not sure why it folds in, but work and looks cool. here is a pic http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv182/mattrentz_2009/Yamaha%20Banshee/P1010024.jpg

The folding tip is not needed if you have nerf bars. It keeps sticks from catching the shift lever and tearing stuff up. It will fold and let the stick slide on by. They are more commonly used on dirt bikes.

 

I had an IMS shifter on my raptor and hated it. It was soft and would eventually be bent against the engine. I also took some expoxy putty and folded the shifter tip back. Jamed the epoxy putty in there. That way it would be a solid tip.

it seems to be stronger up and down but if you move it side to side seems to be weaker than stock. all in all its ok,

The best shifter I have used is the good ole' steel stocker.
