It touches the bottom of my starter cover I want to bend it back to where it is at the same position as the stock shifter but what is the best way to bend aluminum? Should I slowly heat it just muscle it or what?
Thanks guys:popcorn:
 
Put it in a vise and bend it, Don't bend it while its on the shaft. BeastlyWarrior has a few shifters for sale, if you need another one.
 
I certainly understand, I love the budget buys, That's a good deal for 4 bucks, and the red chain should look badass!!
 
Yeah they don't work with pull starts.
If you try to bend it it will crack. Get a stock blaster shifter and bend it. It's steel and will fit.

Wrong my banshee shifter is aluminum msr. I bent it what 4 years ago, unless it's a cast cheapy they use rolled flat stock and weld the ends on. Give me a few, I'll find the pic of mine.

On edit the pics finally loaded and that's a cheap cast one. No bendy.

Yeah but that is a cast aluminum shifter. It will either break or be severely weakened.
 
It bent just fine with a hammer and flat chunk of steel as for it being week I tried bending with my hands and a vise it didn't budge and I stomped it and kicked it a couple times then check for stress fractures it did just fine
