Default Short Stick Question

I purchased the Pro-5.0 package from the WS6 store. The short stick that came with it is straight. Does the Lou's Short Stick have any bends in it? With the straight short stick on there now, it seems to be too far to the right (it almost hits the console when I put it in reverse). Plus with it not being angled back, when I put it in reverse, my knuckles almost hit.

I thought about adding spacers to get it positioned farther to the left, but I'd still like it angled back a little too. I guess I could put it in a vise, heat it up, and put a bend in it that way.

So, does the LSS have bends? How many? Which direction(s)?

The LSS angles toward the drivers leg. Its an awesome stick. The LSS is the perfect stick for the pro 5.0 IMO, its really hard to miss shifts with this combo.
