Default Short Shifter ?

What do you guys have/prefer and why......single bend or dual bend? I was looking at a Skunk2 and they have both and don't know which one to get.....

I am not sure what the LS/GS tegs have but my GSR has the double bend...that is what I would choose. I have also driven a GSR with a Skunk2 shifter and shift knob and I could feel a difference between that and my stock GSR shifter. The throws seemed more precise and gave a stronger, more solid feel than the stock GSR shifter/knob.

I plan on getting both too when the funds come in.

I have the B&M shifter and Prothane bushings, it feels great. It does NOT have the dual bend, but its not that bad. I would have gotten the skunk, but i didnt feel like spending the extra 50 bucks or so. I've felt the skunk shifter and yes, it feels great like everyone who has one says so....

Most definitely, the bushings make a BIG difference.

I love mine, I now have a new DC with the new bushings, and yes it is like 40-50% shorter throw, watch out for cheap imitations, they could break and some of them are so long on the bottom that they scrap against the exhaust b/c it is very cramped out down there......My shifter was like 100 bucks....
