lighter than 142. when I had a skunk knob(400~grams) it was like a brick to the fit knob.

Yeah, my Blox 490 feels so heavy compared to the stock. I love the way it feels on the shifter---it facilitates/assists my shifting motion. Love love love it!

oh sorry, not the blox sphere, there is a blox knob that is identical to the skunk2 knob, same shape, weight, and numbering.

10 x 1.5 is the thread pitch for Hondas.

Sorry...I meant 10...it's been a LONG DAY! Edited...

I should know since I have my Blox knob and have had numerous aftermarket knobs on my Hondas. Oh duh. Is it Friday yet?
