Yeah... no doubt, they're cheap pieces of crap... but I've had the same moose for over a year now and all I've broken are cable adjusters, the cable pivot thingy and pinch bolts.
If you swap the cheap aluminum adjuster for you original stocker you'll be fine.... then drill out the threads on the clamp to fit some larger bolts w/ nuts on the bottom.
Frayed cables were only a problem w/ the old style MSR's.... The new MSR is EXACTLY the same design as the moose besides the 3rd hole and the thicker end of the lever coated w/ rubber. I check my cable all the time and it's holdin up just fine.

anybody ever tried the ASV lever??? it looks to be the same design as the MSR and Moose but its not made from cheap crap. they have some kind of warranty too!

Every ASV lever I've felt has been hard as hell to pull.

Re: MSR Pro Rapter is the shizzle!
my buddy has ASV on his bike and i rode it this weekend for about 2 hrs. in the lot b/c my bike is down. it seemed much easier to pull than my stock one but i cant compare it to the MSR b/c i have never pulled one. i guess ill take it from you guys and go with MSR. i do like the fold away design of the ASV but i dont see it being that functional with the lever being so short and inside on the bars.

Re: MSR Pro Rapter is the shizzle!
alot of times a new lever will offer an easier pull even if both are the same, its the freshness factor . I have the MSR the adjustment pivot stripped after 2 weeks of use ...i never fixed it so I have to adjust my clutch every 5 minutes, clutch actuation point changes....maybe thats why im not excelling

I finially listened to my Boy Rick (NASTY) and he was right as usual...It is the BEST!!!! MSR PRO RAPTOR THE ONLY WAY TO GO!!!
No ASV, Not MOOSE, 909, ect....JUST MSR!!! OH!! You have to take the adjuster off and use the stock 929, 954, f4I, adjuster!!!! It works best!

Moose is the same thing... different name.

Re: MSR Pro Rapter is the shizzle!
which slot on the MSR is the easiest pull? The little tabs broke off so I'm gonna JB Weld the angle adjuster in place but I'm at work and cant throw it on the bike...its the one closest to the clip-on right?
