I wouldnt recommend using a mig because it doesnt have enough heat to penetrate the apparent metal to firmly hold it. I would suggest cutting it off 3/4" to 1" before it starts bending and then thread it so you wouldnt need to weld it. Just a thought.

OMFG, somebody finally did it -- combined Mugen with Skunk2. Only you rolled your own Mugen lever! That's awesome. I know you said it only takes a flick of the wrist, but I'm betting you have wrists like Popeye.

Indeed you are. I recommend replacing that transmission oil with something good like Motul, the sooner the better.

I'm sure it has to do with shifting... just not the gear shifter.

with the shorter lever it requires more effort to shift but less arm movement. My girlfriend cant drive it anymore.
