I have not seen this many guys get so worked up about knobs since summer camp.

FWIW and somewhat related to the thread. The Fat Boy knobs are in stock. I dunno how often they go out of stock, but I'd been checking on and off for like 4-5 months.

This stuff cracks me up, people will always buy novelty items. Come on now...their are probably a few people on here that have paid for someone's autograph, I don't understand that but to each there own. And yes I have a TK knob and it's sitting on a shelf in my garage as I like my TWM 7" Competition knob better. I will part with TK knob when DE gets rid of his and the price climbs to $100,000,000.

A lot of the argument is coming from a guy with Bride seats, which some people find just as ridiculous as the TK knob.. I have both so I guess that makes me a total JDM fan boi

We're getting there, lol

Because of me, used ones now sell for more than new ones used to cost

I use only Tumi products for luggage, laptop bag/brief case, etc. My 22" Tumi Alpha II carry-on cost $645.00. I see no problem with a 200+ dollar shift knob. Besides, the Tommy Kaira has the turtle. I like the turtle. It makes me happy.
