When I had a drive in Lee's MC back on the Welsh Weekend, I was particularly taken by the way his Whalen Shift Machine, which is basically a heavy gear knob, made changing gear so much easier than with my OEM gear knob.
I've wanted to retain the BMW leather gear knob appearance rather than have a metal one. A couple of months back, I found a source on ebay of BMW weighted gear knobs as at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-S...44719372QQrdZ1
I fitted the new gear knob and it does make a difference to gear changing. The BMW weighted knob isn't as heavy as the WSM but it's about an inch shorter than OEM. The weighted knob isn't illuminated, but otherwise it retains the look of the OEM. It's an absolute doddle to swap the knobs over.
