I have an extra 9mm added on one of my bikes, with an asv lever. It pulls just as easy as the raptor, if not better

it wont fall out. the welds are stronger than the arm itself. Plus, doing it at the bottom end reduces stress on the whole cable.

Thorpe mentions earlier about the nylon sleeve that comes with the Msr setup.... you can also use electrical tape...It'll hold the perch in place better....but it will still give if a huge impact hits it.

There's no way it will fall out man. The picture doesn't do it justice. The cable is still in beween a slot just like stock. The slot is deeper than stock. I'm still running this setup and haven't had any trouble. No sign of wear on my cable either. Feels like butta. It honestly has the same feel as Hydraulic since i squirted some White Litium Grease in there.

I wanna extend the arm on mine to like Old Man Roger but there isn't room because of the dam mounting bracket for the 905 cage

The EZ pulls work great but the perches break all the time.

was your old cable streched out. Mine is adjusted all the way out. I think my cable streched.

Mike stole the idea from me and I stole the idea from the Holland people.

Re: Made my own E-Z pull

My MSR easy pull stripped out within the first 2 weeks of having it, aluminum is not always the best metal to use in certian applications.

It doen't seem like it's stretched at all to me. the way I cut the slot in the lever deeper dosen't put the cable in a bind at all so that probably helps
