I just ordered yesterday- the cost is $25.50.Shipping very reasonable.
we're talking abotu the shift lever for your left toe, right? It's shorter? will it still hit the pad on my alpine star boots?
Nope. The shift lever is an intermediate link that changes the leverage so that you don't have to lift your foot as far to change gears.

 
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think the position of the shift lever that your toe moves to shift moves at all. Yes, the throw is shorter and in fact I had to adjust my lever up a little I believe, but the lever your foot moves doesn't move outboard or closer to the bike - just makes the throw shorter. And by the way, it's a worthwhile change!

 
I put the mod on and didn't really notice much difference when riding, maybe I have missed something.

Original arm

1st ~ 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th = 25mm
