Installed Kartboy short shifter

Man, this shifter made a big difference! The shifts have a much better "feel". Now I have that "click" as it goes into gear - very good feed-back.

It took me 35 minutes total to get it installed. I replaced the original grease on the ball to Royal Purple #0 silica-gel grease which also helps smooth things out. I will install the bushing kit soon and add the synthetic gear oil.

I also finished my custom shift **** out of aluminum - pictures soon.

If you are debating a short shifter - I highly recommend it! The Kartboy is a quality product and a good price.
