i have a skunk2, it sucks in the summer time, but when you touch it for a bit, it gets to your body temperature really quick. when i had the rsx optional aluminum ****, it would take a long time before the **** cooled down.

a sock is nice, to keep the heat away from it in the first place.

Default Skunk 2

I have the skunk 2 shift **** with the stock shift fork it was way better but when i got the dual bend short shifter it just made up for the harder shift. It seems with the short shifter i have to pull and push harder to shift gears. But its way nicer because its deffinatly a more solid shift!!!

You just have to cut it and custom fit it.
