Default Longer shifter for my raptor

Some of you have the same problem I have BIG MX boots I wear size 13 So I had to do something shifting was work on my Rator . Look in my photos .
I added 2 inches to the length and raised it just a hair .
Works good so far . Now I need to go out and stomp on it , kick it , and talk dirty to it . [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Just remember when you change cut at an angle this way you have a longer surface to weld arcoss . better chance of it lasting

Thanx I just cut it at 70 degree in the flat area took a 1"wx3"L strip of 1/4 Mild steel laided it across the cut ground the leading edge off so that it was V shaped for welding . Welded it in place front and back (MIG) then cut the top excess and bottom excess off with my die grinder. Ground the front weld off flush
Then I put on a 4 1/2 flaper wheel on my grinder and smoothed out had to straighten the bend by the toe guard and move it back 2" ( On the HYD press )
Then some shake and shoot BLK and let dry
