Default Kong users question
How many of you are above 250lbs? I found one post on RTB from a 270lb guy saying the long didn't work.

Don't know what a RTB is and not even near 270 lbs, but I can say I wish Trojan made an Extra long!

I use a red Kong with the police seat on my 11RK.
Works great.

I use the red kong on my bike and I weight 235 lbs. Every once and a while under hard acceleration the kong will flex some, but never on a bump. The colors denote how hard the kong is to compress. Blue being easiest, then red, and finally black. If you think the red will not be strong enough then use the black.
