Raptor pro ez pull..

Shitty.
First the clamp broke, but it still held tight so I figured whatever. Went to adjust the cable and the adjuster bolt just turned sideways and the snapped off when I tried to figured what the hell I just spent my money on. Cheap aluminum ****. There was no force involved with any of it.. I tightened the clamp with my hand and a socket on an extension. Didn't even use the ratchet.
Just a heads up, not sure if this has happened to any one else.

Wonder if the lever will work on my stocker..

Re: Raptor pro ez pull..

What's your set up now? The moose feels awesome, just the adjustment could have been built a bit better. I have another lever and i'm thinking about changing out the adjustments with the two since my **** won't work since the ez pull adjuster causes my clutch to be way to high. I'm hoping they'll thread together because then It'd be a pimp set up.. Maybe..

Here's my look now, haven't tested it yet.

Re: Raptor pro ez pull..

yeah they brake kinda easy, but its the best easy pull lever out there for the money,
I wish some machinist on here would design one that is a FIXED position for the easiest setting, that damn little rotating arrow position thing always brakes on me, and my cable rotates, someone design a better one and start selling em!

Yeah, I was going to do that, but the shiney part next to the banjo is some sort of moving stop thing for the brake lever. I plan on trimming it down to see if it'll work, but it's dark out so i'm not sure if it'll work or not yet.

I would throw the clutch on top instead of underneath if you could deal with it.

Re: Raptor pro ez pull..

i find that if you do not keep it real tight, its fine! dont keep it sloppy loose, but you should be able to move the clutch lever up and down with your hand, that way it gives a little on impact, and wont break as easy!

Okay, I just started looking at it a little closer. I can see now that the Brake line is on the lower lever. My bad Bro.
