My moose replacement has been holding up great. You might look at having a reinforcement piece welded to your shifter.

Reinforcement? Better a bent lever than a shifting shaft snapped off - IMO.

I've used Moose brand shifting levers on a number of bikes in the past and have be pleased with fit, function, and quality.

The stock one is very pliable. I highly recommend taking them off before bending though. Otherwise Charley earns an "I told you so" and you win a no-expense-paid trip to tranny land. (that's transmission, son) :blink:
