I see that there is a short one and a tall one, but I can't find any of the specs on either of them, also are the racks the same size?

Now here was a perfect opportunity to talk about racks, but noooooo....youse guys had to start talking about your package. When it comes to the Triumph accessory catalog for our bikes, the racks that attach to the sissybars are all the same size. Otherwise, all racks are not the same size or shape.

Thank God for that Derek! (can I say God?") I'd hate to think my package was only standard. ISO -9000 standardization and specs do not.. I repeat not apply to all lengths.
