I was just wondering if anyone uses a shifter other than the stock one on their R. I remember on my 300ex it made a huge difference when i got a moose shifter, but the 450r shifter never really has bothered me. Anyone run an aftermarket one? I was looking into maybe getting the IMS one? IDK, just want to buy something i guess....lol

I only did it myself for the color change, its about stock length.

i wasnt doing it for looks, like i mentioned, on my 300, it made the quad easier to ride. Guess thats not the case with the R. My stock shifter has never bent so I dont wanna mess around with aftermarket.

cant remember who made mine, but it hasn't bent or anything. I've had it since 04, was one of the first things I put on my R that and my pipe which I had before I picked up my R. After that I widened it, had too coming off my 416ex with elka's and out at 49 inches wide I thought the R handled horribly in stock form.
Also ahs to do with my riding style, I had to learn to ride in more of an attack the track nature, where on the 416 I could ride however I felt. The R Just wants to go fast, thats the way I see it.

you can kinda see the one i got, it's a pro design one and i dont think it helps out anymore than the stock one though.

I had to get a different shifter for mine when my stock one got lost in shipping when I sent my whole motor out. I ended up gettin a pro-armor and I love it way better than stock shifter.
