A simple search for your title will bring up eleventy billion results. But since just telling you to search would make me a hypocrite I won't do that.

Some really good brands are:
B&M
Skunk2
DC Sports

The difference between a single and dual bend is exactly that. The single bend has only one bend in it, the dual has 2 bends. And a straight shifter is a straight shifter...

skunk2 with it's weight shifter is almost as good as sex.

Don't forget the ES shifter bushings.

i have a skunk 2 dual bend and it is

the difference between a dual bend and a single bend is of course the bends. but a dual bend short shifter will be closer to your had (more natural feeling i guess would be a good way to put it).

skunk 2 dual bend ftw
