i thought about that too i guess depends on ur reach..im only 5'6 so i guess my reach will be lower.. just perfect for me my hand just sits down leaning on the shifter instead.. also why i bent it back a bit so it comes closer to me instead.. made a difference i guess.

I am on the shorter side of people ~5'7" or so and I cut my shifter down by two inches. I have had no problems at all with reaching to shift, it feels much sportier now.

I did the same thing; I cut a couple inches or so off the top of my shifter. It works well for me because the long shifter was bothering me, and now it's the perfect length for my arm.
