I plan on using a grinder to shorten it and then use a tap and die to extend the threads down further.

Just cut mine down and ordered an m1abram. I think it will be great to have a weighted shifter now that its cut. The stock knob is only 136g. 
Was just informed that twm has a 2012 civic in the shop and there working on a short shifter !!

I knew it wasn't as heavy as some have said.

thats without the boot retainer
Yeah, there is quite a bit of weight to the retainer. I would say at least 2 ounces (57 grams) easy.

close i just weighted it 40g on the money
I know I've posted most of these before, but since the pics were taken in my now destroyed FG2, I decided to take some pics of the knobs in my FA5. Enjoy. 
Sorry for the cruddy pic. This is the stock 8th gen Si knob that never gets used.
Blue stitch/numbers CR-Z 6sp knob
Fatboy knob with MAD PROPS going out to Nomar06...the man, the myth, the legend...
1.6 pound mystery knob I bought from the Ocho's marketplace. I believe it to be either a Monster, or Rick's shift knob.
Custom delrin knob I had made. It's one of my favorites.
...and last but not least...the Black Donkey Dikk

the donkey dick looks like one side of a nun chuck
Originally I bought a foot long rod of delrin then cut it in half to make two knobs. So there's another one without the "thumb groove" waiting as a backup if needed. I guess I could connect the two and make a set of "knob-chucks".

bobo - did you get the shift boot from redline?
Bill did. Apparently it was supposed to be a freebie, but there was some snafu and I believe he ended up having to pay for it.

Just got my a1 abram 
I think it shifts much better with the weighted knob

No, I wish! It does look great though and even though it's kind of light it feels awesome.
