I tried to play it safe with a black titanaium one. I'll let you know what it's like when it arrives.

Probably not but I'll weigh it when it arrives. The threading on my current gear knob is falling apart so I needed a new one regardless.

Makes me laugh that they go to the trouble of replicating the registration card and box and everything, only for the seller to title it replica

The real ones are 440g apparently http://www.hondaperformanceparts.co.uk/ ... nob_440gms

Stick some pics up fitted when you can as I would be pretty interested in this too

If the weight is near enough I'll be interested

Its here, not the gratest pics from my loooooong phone 5:

It weighs 144 grams, about 300g less than the reported weight of a real one, but it feels heavy enough in my hand

I can't image with a real one would feel like with just over 3 times the mass of this one

What are the real ones made out of? Nibbler poop?

The finish is decent although I had expected it to be a bit bigger. From what I can see from the pics of the real ones, it is the same size.

IMO its decent for the cash, I'm happy enough

very nice, tbh I know the weight helps the throw but are people not trying to save weight in ludes anyway?

I will get one soon I think

Just buy the genuine one. It isnt that expensive.

Cheap ass mo fos.

Or just get a 2nd hand OEM Honda Ek9/DC2 one and touch yourself with it.

Looks decent enough. I think exactly the same shape as the bronze one in my 3rd, so I'll presume the same weight as well. Think I'll just get that one powder coated
