P1000 2021 Pioneer 1000-5 LE -- no red springs/a-arms?

[Scoop]

Sorry, silly (likely irrelevant) question. I thought the 2021 Pioneer 1000-5 Limited Edition was supposed to come with red springs and A-arms? I found one for sale and those are silver in color in the pics I saw. Not that it matters ... just wondering.

They were supposed to be red, but in testing they found that red was just too fast and they couldn't adequately control rebound with normal damping, even with the fancy adjustable Fox shocks. Thus the arms on my new SE (which is the LE with a few extra doo-dads) are black with bare aluminum shielding.

The Red suspension came on the Matte Gray LEs.

The Green and Brown LEs had silver suspension. The silver is only on the upper arms, they quit painting lowers after 19 I think.

They got real smart and cheap on the SE. No need to make anything specially painted, the unit is black, so everything needs to be black.

I have a 2020 and there not painted red. Black a arms and silver springs. I think that was pre 2018.

Gotcha, Scoop.
I bought my 2021 P1K5 LE off the lot earlier this year. Here's a sexy photo underneath. Silver.
