The short one makes it a little more difficult to attach a t-bag. The short one is just a little sloppier when a t-bag is added

What looks better Blonde, red head, dark hair... The ride has to look at it and go with what catches their eye. The heck with what anyone else thinks.
Now function is another question all together. What does the ride expect it to do?

It is all personal preference. Mine is the same as abadley's, except I have the Airfoil rack attached to it. Removable is the way to go, from bagger to bar hopper in seconds...
