I am not being rude. I am stating that there is a LOT of information in previous posts (opinion and fact), and that they are a good reference.
I am also pointing out that facts and opinions do not always line up.
To tell someone not to perform a particular mod may be misleading. Pointing out that the install is more involved than another alternative is more precise. I agree that the AEBS takes more effort than the Hotshot to install, and I will gladly tell anyone who asks (as I have). But I will not try to deter them from either decision - I just want them to make the most informed decision possible.
I was a newbie once, and still am in some regards. I had no idea how much info I was missing until someone mentioned that I should check backposts.
If I offended you, 4DR SE R, my apologies. My post was quick and concise, as I did not have the time to go into all the details from posts past. Congratulations on your new header - I hope you are well pleased.
