That black derlin looks amazing. how's the weight on those v.s. Al, v.s. Stainless? Also could someone powder coat an Al one black? Both shifters look amazing. Thanks.
How about weight? I thought a big plus to the "original" whelen shift machine was how heavy it was (helped smooth the shifting). Will these be comparable? Thanks!

I got it today But I gotta send it back for fine tuning...I'm going to have Doug shorten the cylinder body by 15mm...it's a bit too tall even for my size large hands...patience is a virtue...repeat...
The current weight according to Doug is 11oz...plenty heavy but I don't mind shortening/lightening it for better ergonomics...

Nope; not at all. I just weighed the Nylon one; it's right at 5.5 ounces.
These are just for people who want the feel of the handle-type shifter.
Misfitoy, did you by any chance install it and take pictures or did you just open the box and decide to have it modified?
OH YEAH!!! I played with it for the night and let me say...THIS IS JUST WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!!! Shifting is so much more precise now that I'm actually shifting much, much quicker...imagine shooting a pistol with a ball grip as opposed to a pistol grip...makes all the difference in the world to me...
I hate to send this back for refinements but the sooner I do it, the sooner I get to enjoy this enhancement again...
One question tho.. will Delrin be CHEAPER than classic ball shaped aluminum *****
Not sure I understand the question. Cheaper than WHICH ball-shaped aluminum *****?
Delrin, whether black or white (its natural color) is very inexpensive, and extremely easy to machine.
Type 6061 aluminum is a little more expensive than Delrin, but also very easy to machine.
whatd u get urs for? or are these custom stamped out cause itd be good if i could get one made to go with a RMW head and either an Invidia or a TCS exhaust
I knew you were an Alien, Bart...what I didn't know was that you had that many tendrils coming out of your palm...:impatient
