Been Working on this with a buddy.. (RotorShifter)

So I need a shifter and was talking to a friend of mine that does drafting and parts design for a Military supplier..

I am trying to refine the design before I have him make me one.. But I feel that it may need to taper down towards the base to make the shifter **** a little longer. Let me know your thoughts.

Additional Ideas.. Eshaft shifter rod with Rotor shifter..

Maybe it could just be the eshaft and rotor that screws onto the OEM shifter..

I will keep refining the idea. I think the Best Idea is the rotor with eshaft that would screw into the OEM shifter..

HA! I don't think it will be that uncomfortable... Even if one chose to sleep with it.. The edges will be rounded.

Comfortable grip is a huge thing with me. I went through like 5 ***** before I found the one I can grab and squeeze all day!

^I know it is lol, but when buying something like this its more for looks than it is for comfort. I ended up making my own shift **** because I couldn't find one that was comfortable that didn't look like a glass ***** lol. The clear plastic ones with bubbles are gay but I wanted something tall and skinny.
