Do you mean just a shortened lever? If so, they're about $50 from BPT and Herrods, IIRC. If you mean the sure shift mechanism, that's around the $500 mark.
Or make your own for the price of a hacksaw blade/grinder disc, and an aftermarket gear knob. If you have a welder, you can chop a section out, weld the top and bottom bits back together and still use the factory knob.
