Last minute questions!
I already asked to be invoiced but have a couple of questions. ![yes!](images/smilies/pepper2.gif)
I remember some talk of adjustability on the new bar. Did I imagine that or are there multiple ways to install it to affect stiffness? Also what color did you decide on, the suspense is killing me?

It took Ron all of about 12 minutes to send me an invoice after I asked for it. Mine is paid for, can't wait!

My feeling is the 'Adjustablity' feature is more a marketing tool than a real world option so I did not include it.
First, no one is going to crawl under their RT every time the roadway changes and unbolt their bar for a different setting. It's just not what people are going to do. You can't even get most people to change the shock settings when needed.
Second, you're going to want the stiffer setting. Most people with the adjustable bars set it to the stiffer setting and never look at it again. The few who do try both settings end up on the stiffer setting and never look at it again. Either way you're going to end up at the same place.
Third, if it can be done it will be done. Someone will bolt their bar to the weak hole on one side and to the stiff hole on the other side. Count on it. Just one less thing to get wrong.
Adding length to the bar and drilling the additional holes doesn't add a lot to the total cost but in my opinion, it's just a waste of time and money. You just won't use it.
Someone will divulge the color... but it isn't going to be me. I wonder who will post the color first?

Good points all and I agree, was just wondering.

Not trying to beat you up on this. It was a good question on the adjustability which I had forgotten to address. The reasons given are just my opinion, but I still wanted to get the reason for leaving this feature off of my bars.

Personally, I liked the barber pole idea. Forgot who posted that but certainly thinking outside the box!
One problem we're having with the concept is... it's hard to get a fixed bar to rotate like that. But I've got my crack engineers working on it around the clock!
Oh, by the way, you know what the barber pole signifies don't you?

Yeah, barber pole significance is kind of gross so I won't go into it in detail.

Red is for blood. White is for bandages. Back in the "bloodletting" days, you could go to a barber to have it done.
In Korea, it signifies a brothel! If you go in thinking you can get your haircut, you will be in for a surprise!

I still like fire (lighting it is much more fun that fighting it) and the color red. But I've waxed so many miles of red paint I don't think I'll ever want to own a read vehicle.

Ron, have you sent all the Paypal invoices? I haven't gotten mine. Not trying to hurry you, I know you're doing it on a first come/first served basis and there's no big rush. Just afraid mine might get lost in the shuffle and I might wind up not getting one at all.

Do you smell that? That's my baited breath waiting for my bar to get here. It's been a few days but the wait isn't any easier.

I hate to say it, but the phrase is "bated breath", as in abated. No smell at all. BTW, if you use worms instead of minnows for bait, things will smell better.
