My BN2 has matching front Armstrong 6075 shocks. I received a rebuilt 6075 =
that has the shock body also stamped 6075, but it does not have the "RX" on=
 the one side as my current ones do. On FB someone suggested they were made=
 in different countries,  one suggested the "RX" is double action shocks, a=
nd another that the "RX" was for prescription only! Anyone know what the "R=
X" is? Just curious.

"Replacement Exchange" maybe?

It's not on the 'official' list (attachment).

No problemo, Hank; I should have been more clear. I have a 7psi cap 
coming from Tom Monaco, along with a County water pump; the 'Bastuck 
uprated' pump didn't work out (long story).

Thanks, all, for the replies.

Bob
