Default Dual bend in del sol?

Hey I was just wondering if anybody has ever had a dual bend short shifter in a del sol, I've been looking at the Skunk2 shifter+shift **** but I'd like to know how it's going to feel in the sol

well I know they don't normally but the del sol shifter sits a little higher (thats why you can only use a del sol shift linkage). I faintly remember somebody selling their SK2 cause they said it actually sat higher then the stock shifter in their sol

well I decided to get the Skunk2 dual bend/Skunk2 shift **** and I was right.. the shifter actually sits a little higher then the stock one but the throw is a lot shorter. Overall I like it though, combining the SK2 with some Energy suspension shifter bushings was a hell of an upgrade. The gears are short and tight, almost like flipping a switch
