Hi, is there an easy way to tell the difference between a HOG Switchback 2nd and Classic 2nd (without taking the reg apart)?

Thanks!

I don't think so.
You'd need to see the internal air tube. It has to have 2 holes and a sleeve to block one off depending if L or R configuration.
 
yes, it's easy, look down from the top at the second stage, you will see the square piece that you need to switch from one side to the other. It's obvious.


Or unscrew the front cover, remove diaphragm, look at barrel, if it has a black sleeve piece on the barrel it is a reversible.
 
Thank you! That IS easy... Turns out one of my seconds is reversible, which explains why I also received the two alternate-side plastic parts when i got it last year... Didn't realize what they were.
