i would also like for the knob to have some kind of texture on it were as my hand wont slip off of it like the oem knob. i wish i could try some knobs out but yea, that wont happen.. how much are you asking for the piston? Last edited by StanceZ37; 10-06-2014 at 08:41 PM. |

here's a WC lathe werks stainless steel ball. weighs 500g+ since the collar is metal as well. whatever knob you get, make sure you get a collar of some sort to match the way our shift boot matches up to the knob

i used to have the TK hebi bebi. it was nice and all, but a week of using it and it hit me that i paid $250 for a damn shift knob. sold that thing asap and bought the fatboy replica. exact same shape and size of the TK knob, 0.1lbs heavier, and i prefer it since i don't have to worry about trying to align the turtle on top.

As for the piston, i'd like $100+5 for shipping. So same price for a new flossy. It's still fairly new, my buddy only used it for a couple months maybe less before he sold his car. |

i had this problem on my G's momo knob before. i fixed the thread using a thread repair tool, and screwed on the specter knob. also, youll probably want to get a new momo shift boot with the collar inside which will mate with the bottom of the knob cleanly. |

Hubby is an aircraft mech. Hopefully he will be able to "adjust" the fit and set screws so they don't loosen up.

i think chops mentioned that they dont get as hot as his other metal knobs.
it also depends on the finish/texture of the knob. ive had metal knobs that got hot but not super hot in the summer months like the twm satin knob. but then a polished momo got scorching hot. if you're worried about hot/cold, check out the twm specter. it's weighted brass core with delrin. very nice. |
