yeah mine are the same length. would be serious binding issues with un equal bars. the 2 bars would fight each other working on 2 different radius's

OK, I was thinking yours was the pic that was posted earlier in this thread. If you look at the pic closely, it appears that the upper pass bar is longer than the lower drivers bar

I think that's because of where the links are mounted trey. the right one is on TOP of the frame, where is the left is INSIDE the from. that's why the left is shorter to make up for the difference of where it's mounted. it should work the same though.

now if they were mounted on the frame in the same place and your bars were different, then you might have some issues.

I did notice that,and that's why I told him to cycle the suspension when I thought the pic was of his! I am unsure of how that would work. I would think that, although the frame to watts pivot point dimensions are the same, the bars being different lengths would still cause problems. As previously stated, I believe they would pull against each other. I don't know this for a fact, as I have always used equal length bars.
