As the title states, i need to know the weight of the Kartboy shift knob??? i emailed Kartboy themselves, but the guy who emailed me back said he had no idea because they have been discountinued for awhile now. I might buy a used 1, id like to know the weight of it?
 
no idea but i had one of these

they are SLIGHTLY heavier than the stock plastic knob, but not much. its only an aluminum knob.

are you looking for a heavy or light knob?

idk what im looking for, just something weighted so 4 my twm ss. I havent installed it yet so i dont know how the stock knob feels when shifting, but ive read and it seems like a CW is worth it. I think I might go with the Greddy or just go big and buy a TWM knob. I think the Greddy Is probably the best price/performance best buy.

the plastic knob sucks! i now have a mazda 6 knob with b&m . very nice

i was told the RX-8 knob is pretty heavy too???
 
The RX8 knob is just a little heavier than stock, so if you want heavy one, get an aftermarket one. I'm still finding a heavy knob tho...
 
This one? (Sorry, I only have a camera phone.)


6.1oz on a postal scale.

That's it. Had one in my P5 with the SS and bushings. Best first mod. I'd say it's about the same weight wise as the RX-8 knob. Love it!
 
Check their site. I think they stopped carrying the knob maybe? I know you can't get it in this color anymore

...too bad for you, cause it rocks! ;)
 
What knob is this? Is it leather and how much does it weigh? I like that.

its the mazda speed rx8 shift knob. very heavy, nice easy shifts with the counter weight. im not sure exactly how much it weighs, but its a little heavier than the stock m6 and rx8 knobs. its not leather, Urethane plastic, Mazda part number QSEA-46-030
 
the only thing that bothered me about the kartboy knob was the size. it's a good shape and weight, but it felt too small in my hands and was a tad short. i put it on and about a week later switched back to the 02.5+ knob. with the stock shifter it wasn't so bad, in terms of height, but when i switched to the kartboy ss, the height really bothered me.
