What about the length of the aftermarket shifters? I'm still riding/racing with the stock shifter, and I'm gettin' a little annoyed with the all too familiar bite it- then bend it back routine. I have a Baja Designs skid plate though, and if any of you are running one, you are aware of the tight clearance with the case guard. One of my racing buddies has an IMS on his 220 and it seems a bit longer (maybe its just me, didn't measure), but he doesn't run a skid plate and has little feet. I've also been having similar crash dammage problems with my rear brake lever. Anyone know a better solution than a bench vise and vise-grips? The brake snake seems like a good idea, but my lever/pedal bends arn't usualy from snags; they usualy occur after adrenaline induced rag-dolls while racing, or off-road catastrophies that result from the friendly 'challanges' and/or competing egos of my close riding buddies.
Thanks for any help offered, I'll try to return the favor,
