Default Another short shifter question...

So im lookin for a short shifter and would like to have one with alot of reduced throw and also have it sit lower than stock. Do I need single or dual bend? Brand? I hear good reviews for the B&M shifters but is this what im looking for?

I hear b&m short shifters rattle--no matter what you do-change bushings, remove exhaust heat shield, nothing...just get a skunk2 dual bend--sits about a mm shorter than stock, but with greatly reduced throw distance.

B&M is poop. It rattles and there is nothing you can do about it.

I have the dual bend Skunk2 shifter and I have no such problems with it.

Thought that the Skunk2 was about the same as stock, at least thats what it looks like--just shorter shifts--I guess I'll notice more of a difference since I have my own honda now instead of drooling over someone elses...
