Spherical shift *****
For those of you who prefer spherical shift *****, what diameter do you prefer......
1.8 inches
2.0 inches or
larger than 2.0 inches.
I hope to come out with a glass-look ball shift **** and was wondering what the majority of C5 owners prefer.
Example of one design (2.1-inch diameter)
Thanks in advance!

I have a 2" and will be trying out a 2 1/8" **** shortly. The 2" is comfortable but looks a bit small; visually the 2 1/8" is, I think, right on the money. I think it will be comfortable too. 2 1/4" is too big, IMO.

I would if I had them already, but each "master" will cost me hundreds of dollars - thus my question about the "right" size.

2.2-2.25".
Hey, I may be able to use them as door *****, as well. That'd be different, especially for a kid's room.
Thanks!
