I ran that exact experiment with both bullmoose and regular Boscos after 
experiencing similar issues with barcons. The IRD stem shifter worked fine, but 
the Achilles’ heel was the band that clamps around the stem — it was made of a 
cheap metal that broke within a year. The shifters are integrated into the 
band, so there’s no easy way to salvage those components and transplant them to 
new pods or whatever. It worked fine while it lasted, but I have since moved on 
to thumbshifters using Paul Thumbies (in combination with the now out of of 
production Silver adapters) and find those vastly more ergonomic/functional. (I 
also wound up ditching the Boscos, but not because they didn’t play well with 
thumbshifters.)
