Red arrows in the wrong hands can be dangerous.......

The main point of the pic was to show there IS more of a difference than just the spring.
Have you installed the RT shocks on Nancy's bike yet?
No...no time, plus no desire to get anywhere near a Spyder. Having mine be critically ill for so long has soured me.

I won't get into the philosophical discussions between the two of you, but I see where you are coming from. The highlighted portion is shorter instead of longer, on the RT shock, which could be confusing to some, considering the subject. I thought the arrows were helpful, however, since it is difficult to compare lengths of two items in a picture shown on a screen.

When you put the RT shocks on your GS/RS, the difference is very noticeable. The RT shocks are "stiffer". Does it really matter why the shocks are stiffer? It is only a $200 investment. If you make the change and you are not satisfied, put the old ones back on.

what a foolish little man..........
What-- using your last name a few posts ago ? I didn't realize that was classified information as many of us have shared their full names. I'll gladly remove that line from my post Mr. .
I guess I don't see why it matters if names are shared only there instead of here? What's the diff? Someone clicks on a link here and goes to the Google Spreadsheet and sees our info. So I fail to see how me mentioning your last name in this thread should be some 'breach' of information-- but I'll remove that part of the post just the same.
You might want to contact BRP too as they share our complete names on their site--- like when you get your 5,000 mile pin.

Look, you really need to calm down and stop with your agenda and attacks. I kindly removed where I said Mr. .
You want to preach to me about manners? How about you share all the 'well-mannered' comments you and your gang of malcontents keep posting on your 'haters' forum?
I'll save you the trouble Mr. Manners:
