Default RE: measuring twice - 412 question

Chip the standards will work, ya might have to run them on # 4 or # 3 where the H.D.'s would be #1 or #2.. The Heavey Dutys are for 200 lbs or over riders. I chose the H.D.'s for the ride. I like it firm, and the added Insurance, There the same price. If I decide to go two up (very rarely my wife rides her own) I'm also covered. I'd rather have too much than not enough. Hope this helped Skip

Thanks Skip - I appreciate the help and sage advice. Still not sure if I'll keep the Standards, but will at least I'll look into the possibility of returning them and eating the shipping charges. I like the concept of insurance w/heavy duty shocks, and tend not to mind a firm ride. I've always gone with heavy duties when replacing shocks on my 4 wheeled rides, not sure why I didn't think to in the first place for the Bobstah (?).
