Mountain bike handlebar shifter, old one was too short and wrong angle.

This setup is quieter than when in the mustang with alot more deep sounding bass and unrestricted. Definitely more powerful than when in the mustang, have to take care not to bust the 7.5 with excessive burnouts. Great daily driver. Will eventually get it on the dyno, bugging me not to know the power being developed with the refined set up.
