Unless the design has changed since I bought mine, the Ripper is one solid piece from bottom to top so there is no stick to change. If you want it shorter, I believe you have to cut the stick down & re-tap it.
My ripper is the older model which was a two piece design similar to the pro 5.0 shifter. It has two bolts which bolt the handle to the actual shifter assembly.
