How about a leather or Alcantera cover?

Ugh. I got all excited that this was the announcement for the leather wrapped knob

ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Saw these on the website for a while but cool to see them again here. I have been lurking waiting for the release of the leather sphereology like some others. Even if that never comes out the sphereology is better in feel and looks around the lip than the Topology; it is nice that you got the profile lower.

Was curious if the "..ature" cores would work with the "...ology" bases? Perfect knob for me would be a leather sphereology because I like the feel of a ball shifter, leather and the look, and because the base on the "...ology" series is better, but I would change the outside to be concave like the "...atures" series is, which has a smooth lipless transition, and lastly, I would want a core powdercoated the same color as the lockout.

I had the Slammer and liked the smoother shifts and loved the metal clunk sound when lifting the Raceseng reverse lockout. But I then realized my hand enjoyed the stock shift knob every other week for its size, grip and control. This one looks like it'll fit the bill but I'm gonna hold out for a Raceseng alcantara Ology knob :P

This is 2 1/8" in diameter... I'm not sure what the OEM shift knob diameter is. Ours was thrown out after the Slammer was installed!

I really tried to tuck the ball shaped profile as tightly as I could to the top dome shape of the core.

Ture and Ology covers are NOT interchangeable.

Keep in mind that the reverse lockouts are anodized and the shift knobs are powder coated. They are 2 totally different processes that will not yield the same look or finish.

Awesome! Hopefully it's sphere shaped as well.

DustinS · 09-16-2015, 03:49 PM

If I hadn't just gotten a shift knob as a present, I would be all over this.

I may buy one anyway, and switch them before the girlfriend rides in the car... hmm

Looks amazing!! Keep up the great work.

Yea you did a great job. Still looking forward to the leather release! And good to know about the color differences. Ever consider selling a lockout in a raw state too?

We used to see a clear anodized reverse lockout and it didn't sell well... So we dropped it.
