Default Direct Shifter for Raptor

I was thinking of putting a direct shifter on my raptor. The main question I have is how you would adjust the height without any linkage. Just wondering if anyone else had done this and had some input for me. Thanks.

It's a splined shaft. With the IMS, you're not out much. I like mine.

Same here and it works better than my Pro Design direct shifter that cost twice as much.

Yeah, which one would be better for fast/aggresive trail riding and playing on a mx track.....does one give you a better shift then the other, and which one has a better throw to it....TIA

I have both, used the IMS first then put on the Pro design. Both work the same, just the PD is better quality. JMO

Is the Banshee direct shifter the same as the Raptor? Is it the same splines, but different bends or what? Just curious!

The banshee has the same splines but not the same bend. I had to modify one(bend it to fit my raptor once cuz my shifter broke) and it worked!!
