I broke my orig. Raptor lever, the perch survived.

I ordered two replacement shorty levers.. they dont fit.

No one over at Tucker Rocky/MSRacing/Cycle Gear (where I ordered) can tell me wtf I got. They all give me some lame excuse about "You have to run the Raptor perch.." , yeah, no shit.

So who has had to order new levers? Everyone I know has the same perch I do, but my 'new' levers dont work on any of them. Thats some bullshit!

Pics. New lever is 2mm too wide, and the brass bushing has been replaced by a pin-bearing. Its a thicker lever, but no where on any website/catalog is there a mention of this new thick lever.

I was looking around at work the other day, and I saw a new raptor assy. It looks like they updated it. The new version looks alot better as far as quality goes. I'm gonna replace mine soon.

They might have sent you "Dominator" levers, very similar, but not the same.

Nope. I own a Dominater perch, there are no adjustment points. Completely different setups.

Standy, I think you're right. The new lever is MUCH higher quality, do you carry just the perch at work? Can I order one from you?

The only thing I can think of is that they re-designed the entire setup and you got the updated version. Just buy a new perch and see if it works.
