that's the combo i've used on the last 2 set of pro 5.0 shifters. it does make it easier to shift compared to the pro 5.0 handle. you will like it.

Absolutely.

I'm 6-3 and I modified the seat tracks to sit the seat back another inch. I have the Comfort Pro on the lower of its 2 settings. When I'm harnessed in tight I don't have to strain at all to hit 1, 3 or 5, they're right there every time.

I bought a steel handle from this place for my Tri-Ax.It`s bent like the Tri-Ax handle.
I didn`t care for the aluminum Tri-Ax handle after reading about some people breaking them.

www.konaracing.com

It`s a quality piece.
