So...If it's 2 1/2" Longer than stock (3/8") that makes it 2.875" above the spoke?
That is about right from the top of the OEM paddle. The new paddles end at about the thickest part of the 10-2 grip. So 10-2 and 9-3 are easily activated. 11-1 is not as comfortable but can still be activated. You really can't go taller though as you start to obstruct your view of the gauges.

Looks great, I can't wait... Sign me up for a set. Hope the install isn't too complicated. Not sure how I feel about having to remove the wheel. (airbag and electronics)

Could you make a custom pair that is 3/4" longer?

You are going to have to talk to voodoo about that. CAD wise I can but like I said... Any longer and you are going to be obstructing your view of the gauges and also be putting more stress on the mounting points of the OEM button. There is only so much that can be done with the OEM paddle button base. I can't change the actual mechanical function of the button. The longer the paddle the less precise and accurate the button will click.

We might use that in the future, but they are only going to be plastics for now to keep costs down.
What's your Shop's page so I can bookmark it on my "to buy" list?
