Shift ****/E-brake vendor

I don't know about you guys but I can't bring myself to spend upwards of 75 bucks on a shift ****.

Where do you get your *****/e-brake handles?

Let me know!

Thanks

I have two Whalen *****. I bought them both used on the marketplace. They were $75.00 but worth every penny. They are $150.00 new..... I have the craven ebrake handle. It matches the Whalen nicely.... There are pics in my gallery.

+1 for the Whalen, I love the weight of the thing. He also has machined E-Brake handles alum or steel.

Cravenspeed here. They are a little cheaper and dont have the weight or size of the Whalen.

I dont like how large the OEM or Whalen ***** are. :/

Its all preference.

Exactly what I was looking for! Input on CHEAPER ***** not ones that break my bank. Those from cravenspeed also come with an adjustable short shift? Awesome.

Any other routes to take? Also since the r53 is a slip on can I just shorten the stock shaft and put a plastic adapter on it? Wouldn't that be cheaper? I figure since it is indeed a straight shaft why not just cut it down 1.5 inches to make it into a short shift?
