Knob Comparison

Post by csquire4 » Sat Dec 10, 2016 5:07 pm

Just fitted the Storm Motorwerks V2. Quality piece of engineering, very weighty and it does smooth out the notchiness of the gear change. It's a little shorter than the original and after a little experimentation I secured it a little higher on the shaft which means the throw is original (and a little longer) but shift is even easier. I suspect most would prefer a shorter shift.

Original is 85g
ZHP is 174g
Storm Motorwerks V2 is 452g

Anyway, in short it's a recommendation from me.

Comparing and weighing your knob, higher on the shaft etc. You knew exactly what you were doing :ycard:
