Hey if you can do a stainless pentagonal (that's 5-sided) shift rod I might be interested.

Is this or can it be polished. Actually chrome would be awesome but I assume that's not possible...

I buff them with 3 grades of compound finishing with Rouge on a cotton wheel and while they aren't chromed, they are of a Chromium/Nickel alloy that won't pit or peel off like Chrome will eventually.

What over all length do you need? Also Stainless or Brass? Twisted or straight? I would need to know. Just PM me, with your specs, thanks, Ryk

Hey Ryk...do you have a pic of any installed on the bike(or anyone else too)? I'd like to see how much, if any, beefier it might look. I like the twisty one.

Hi Ryk,
Not sure if this is the answer to my problem yet, but would it be possible to make a brass twisted one with about 1/4 inch more thread on either side?
I just installed a heel toe shift and I have the rod adjusted to where it's out as much as it can go on the shifter side and the toe is still lower than the heel I'd like to have them about even if not the heel a tad lower than the toe.
Still gotta measure to be sure, but I think a 1/4 inch or so would fix me up.
Thanks,
Brian
