Longer shifter handle?

menasci · Mar 12, 2006

I have a Pro5.0 shifter and love it!
I used to have the Triax, but for me the Pro5.0 is better.
Anyway, I already have the longer Pro5.0 "medium" handle which is very similar to the Triax handle.
But, I would like it to be even longer for even easier shifting.
Anyone know where/who makes longer handles or extensions to make the handle longer?

Upr sells an adjustable shifter handle...dont know if it would adjust any higher then the one you have now though.

I'd just be happy with a shifter that is almost in reachable distance. I find myself leaning forward all the time, to shift. I wish the shifter was mounted further back.

I love the Pro 5.0 medium as opposed to the Shorty they issue as standard.

Have you contacted Pro 5.0 to see if there are other options? If I'm not mistaken, they have a small adapter for you to even use your stock handle, if you want.

People are going to suggest you go for the MGW, I'm sure.

I don't think he'd like the MGW if he wants a longer handle. I really like my MGW, but the shifter handle is like a stump which does'nt bother me at all. I've got long arms, so reach is'nt even a remote problem. Can you even swap out the handle of the MGW for a longer handle of some other brand?

If I am correct, MGW has several handles of their own. 3 exist, that I know of. They are color-coded. Red, blue, and orange. No, I don't think you can swap MGW for other brands because of how they mount. Someone correct me, if I'm wrong.

MGW has an adjustable that will fit the Pro50...call or email George www.MGWLTD.com also, Hurst has some nice chrome handles of different lengths & curves

MGW dicontinued the blue and red handles. Now only offer the orange handle which is suppose to be a blend of both previous shifters. I've got the old blue handle which was considered their race shifter. It's a great shifter.

See, I knew someone would chime in.

Right. They are still available on the secondary market, though (consumer to consumer). Glad you like it!

Hopefully, menasci gets the information he needs.
Can someone perhaps link up some photos and/or tech info (sizes) on the MGW shifter handles?
