Weighted gear knobs?

Oh, and for the lazy amongst us, is there just a 1-speed version?
Maybe with a 5-second overboost?

Storm motorwerks for me too, reminds me of the original ford puma aluminium gear knob just heavier, i personally like that cold feel of it.

I always thought my knob was inadequate, too lightweight and just didn't feel right. After much deliberation I decided I needed something bigger. Now I have a heavier Buckley one. Feels nicer to throw into gear and just feels more positive. Plus the Mrs prefers it now! :thumbsup:

All joking aside it's one of the better mods I've done.

I find that putting a tight-fitting sock over it in winter can help, especially when it’s realllly cold.
