I haven't got my hands on a Gen 5.5 yet, but I was led to believe they had the long needle. Thanks for clearing that up Rex

Man - they sure do chop and change the needle length in different models, and even in some batches of the same model (the intermediate needle that came out in some Gen 4's). That's the beauty of shortening the LSN yourself. At least you know exactly what you have in there, and how it's going to tune

The chopping and changing comes from people putting misinformation about what they assume. if anyone wants to confirm anything in the Go Engine range and are not sure please contact me and ill be happy to give you the 10.4 on whats in there.

Each distributor can tailor basic things to suit for their region. EG we want the Long LSN needle so thats what we get here. US wants the short taper needle as that suits their needs.
Hope this helps
