Hey Gang---

Well I finally took the plunge and got my Pro 5.0 the other day and have it installed. Just a tad bit noiser than stock but well worth it. Problem is I have a hard time reaching 1st, 3rd and 5th gears because of the shorter handle. Supposedly Pro 5.0 makes a longer handle for 10.00 or something but i can't find it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
JP

I'm getting a Pro 5.0 right away and the word on the street is that using the Steeda Tri-ax handle is the best choice when it comes to this stuff. There was someone who asked about shifters and I swear like 75% of people who replied said that's the setup they use.

you could go with the steeda tri-ax handle or the MGW adjustable handle. that is pretty much the combos that people use that are looking for a longer handle on the pro 5.0.

MGW handle is best, it's adjustable

I have the opposite. Steeda Tri-ax with Pro 5.0 handle. I will be buying a Steeda handle soon though. The Pro 5.0 is just too short.

...
what happened to the Steeda handle that came with it?

I helped a friend install a Tri-Ax two nights ago, the Tri-Ax handle is -much- longer than the Pro 5.0 one. I like my MGW one best though.
