I have bought two. Not one has lasted more than an hour on my bike without the perch breaking. Im going back to the MSR Raptor. That is all.

Dude, that MSR is the shit as far as durability. I switched to Moose cuz it was easier to pull. The Moose is like glass. Once the bike falls one time it breaks the perch.
your the first person i have seen say that the msr is stronger than a moose.

Yeah, I might look into them. I like the raptor but its not the easiest thing to pull in like the Moose. I even had the the Moose loose when it broke.

yes thats why i dont use them anymore

What about cutting the threads short so the cable does'nt touch?
msr are junk, they fray clutch cables, and moose are junk too, either are going to break your fingers if you mousetrap in a hb trick, thats why i like my breakaway asv.
it's strong as hell, pull dont really matter to me i'm not a pussy when it comes to pulling a clutch lever in, the thing has taken some hard drops, and i love how i can position it any way i want to with my handbrake.

I had the ASV and liked it, felt like I was pulling on a ten tons to pull in the clutch though. I haven't had any serious problems with my moose. I might try the moose easy pull cable system with the ASV lever. Now that might be a hot set up.

the adjusters are junk thats why we use our stock honda ones cause they fit.
sounds like the moose levers are not for the squids :ese:

I used the ASV locking nut and it seems to work ok. I might try plugging in the stock one (good idea) and see how that works.

the parts unlimited universal clutch levers
i lied, i actually think they are 7 dollars
i ran em on my 50 after i put a manual clutch on it.
they are easier to pull than stock levers but harder than the moose/msr ones.

yah i dont see how ppl are breaking the moose, unless your running your bike into a tree, cuz my shit never hits when i wreck. i had problems with the adjuster mostly cuz of curved metal end of the gsxr clutch cables which i fixed now by just zip tying it to the bar.
