Well, after a month, I got my chrome sphere. Let me tell you, it looks AWESOME and it's ultra comfortable; much better than the better looking (in paper) cobra. But it didn't look good when I got it.
Here's the momo 201 installation instrucitons.
1. Same as most people: **** came with 4 rubber adapters and
2 sets of screws: use the thickest adapter and longer screws.
2. I drilled the **** almost all the way to the top cap, which was
about an extra inch.
3. I also drilled the rubber adapter so the shaft would go thru it.
I forced the rubber adapter into the ****.
4. **** was installed, and the bottom ring cleared the plastic
P-R-N-D-3-2 plate by a scant 1/10" when in park: even lower
the bottom of the stock unitl
5. Overall, the sphere **** sits about 1-1/2" lower overall than
the stock one.
6. It sits quite a bit lower than the one featured in autotoys
(where I bought mine).
I don't have my digital camera yet, but it looks absolutely fantastic on my car. You can do the same adaptation to any sphere ****. There are several different models.
Don't be deceived by the apparently better ergonomics of the others; they aren't.
Before you try to drill other models, be advised the sphere is a ball of solid aluminum, so I could drill it almost to the top. I'm not sure how the others are built, and I wouldn't try it before being able to remove the top part until you can see the aluminum and measure how deep you can go.
When I get my digicam I'll post pictures.

Now I have two of the ***** (short and tall zebrano) I decided to get a bit more adventurous drilling the short one to get it nice and LOW sitting. Well I'm really pleased with the results. Here's a pic:2. I drilled the **** almost all the way to the top cap, which was about an extra inch.

Hope it works out Globe. Strange that Burien place doesn't supply the standard screws and caps normally.

yeah I know. But at least they sent me more parts after I told them I'm missing some. Pretty good service.Originally posted by bitkahuna
