Default MGW adjustability

A friend with a Tri-Ax told me that it had three adjustments for height. I liked the steeda, but after hearing so many good things about the MGW, I think I'd like to orderthat one.
Is the MGW adjustable too? I want a short throw but not toooo terribly short. Somewhere around what the Tri-Ax was.. maybe a tad shorter. Any thoughts?
Oh, and installation.. ordinary tools? Heard it wasn't too bad. thanks

I don't recall a height adjustment but one thing you will like about that MGW is the top of the shifter will rotate 360 degrees and you can tighten it down to fit your comfort. You can't do that with a Steeda. No more difficult to install than any other shifter. I had both shifters and as far as shifting ease, the MGW beats the Steeda in my opinion.

The angle & height of the shifter lever is fully adjustable. I have no idea what the parts are called, but you put the shifter on at the height/angle you want and tighten it down. Whatever the system it uses is incredibly strong, you'll never be able to move thelever by accident.

[/align][/align]This is so, only the orange handle is available now. I contactedMGW 2 to 3 weeks ago asking if the blue handle was still available--it is not...[/align]

ok thanks
Where is the orange in comparison to the blue or red handles? (longer or shorter or around the middle) Doesn't really matter I guess, only orange available. Just curious

I'm pretty sure it was a compromise beteween the two. Just in the middle not to long to short.
