jamebo Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 Found a shifter at Rocky Mountain atv that looks really sweet, an I.R.S. Designs aluminum shifting petal. The price is good at around 68 bucks, and I was wondering if anyone else is using one and if so what they think about them. I was going to go with a Pro-design, but like the looks of this one better. I've never used an aluminum shifter before, do they hold up as good as steel ones? Just wanted a little info on them if possible before I start trying to manage the money around for it. Quote
jbooker82 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 I run RIS pipe conectors. RIS makes nice stuff. I am sure there shifter is great. Quote
jamebo Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Posted March 24, 2008 I think I'll go ahead and order one then, sounds like it will be a good purchase. I've been wanting a billet shifter for awhile now, and I like this one the best out of all the ones I've seen so far. Just wanted to make sure it was a good product, thanks for the replys, guys.

ClimbAnyHill Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Trick Licks one kicks ass! Here's what I have but I do have rear RIS pipe hangers, it's nice billet stuff! Quote

In the next month or so, I'll be getting back some chromed stock shifters if you're interested...probably be charging 30 to 35 each shipped..depending on what my chromer hits me for them. Quote
jamebo Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Posted March 25, 2008 That is one sharp looking shifter, ClimbAnyHill. That's cool the way it's drilled out, too. That sounds like a really good deal on a chromed shifter dajogejr, and I appreciate it, but I'm already in the process of getting an RIS. Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Owner Rudy of RIS is a cool guy too, met him at the Pismo Beach drags & Sand Show! Most of their stuff is really nice, only thing I don't like is their 3 bar bumpers. Quote

Yeah, I know the bumpers your talking about, and I agree. I just started learning about their products since the shifter, and I think I'm going to check on what they have in exhaust clamps. I'm still using the stock, rubber hose type pieces on my fatty's. I know I'm really looking forward to getting the shifter. It's going to take some time, but eventually I will have my Shee fixed up pretty good. I'm finding all kinds of stuff I want for it, only problem is the money! lol ( I guess like they say, welcome to the sickness! ) Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Yup, & you'll never finish her lol... I have a Banshee & Blaster, both built up from sale forum used parts and save myself half the cost of new parts. But I do make sure to buy motor parts new! Quote
jamebo Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Posted April 25, 2008 Well I had a couple setbacks and got a little delayed on my shifter, but ordered it monday and just got it in today and installed it. I like it alot, adds a little bling to the bottom half of the motor. Quote
jamebo Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Posted April 25, 2008 I like the motto on the package, Banshee "fear no gear" shifter! I installed it right after I got home. Quote
Justintoxicated Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) I like the motto on the package, Banshee "fear no gear" shifter! I installed it right after I got home. I'm on my 3rd RIS shifter the first 2 cracked. Howevere I think they were milled a little off and the 3rd one seems to be holding up fine (Thicker walls in the lightened section). However NONE of my shifters look anything like yours WTF. All three of mine were 2 piece shifters. Other than cracking my only complaint is that it does not have brass splines like my buddies. He can put the shifter in way more positions with the brass spline insert. My RIS seems to either be too tall or too low for me to get good consistant shifts with boots on. I have it set in the too high position for now and dremeled down the stator cover where it rubs it. Edited April 30, 2008 by Justintoxicated Quote

Well I found the shifter on RMATV, but the one they sent me is different than the one that was pictured. The one shown on their website had a grooved, round shifting peg with diamond shaped etching along the top of the lever. This one is more plain, but I like it alot. I think the flat end of it is pretty cool. You may have one like I thought I was initially receiving. Quote

I have not had any problems with the latest one other than the crappy adjustment (same as most other shifters though). I still wish they would make one with the brass splines insert. Quote
