Have you done any digging into the 2016 adjustable forks to see if we can buy the parts and retro our 2015's to make then adjustable? That would be cool, rj

ps are you planning a trip to Enterprise , OR Wallowa ADV rally this year? I hope to make it again.

I tested the shock before the first production run, but I'm sure the shock body is the same. Perhaps the spring is different; I'm not sure.

The shock installation is easy and straightforward. I did reverse the direction of the bolt in the upper shock mount; that is the only change I made. I might post an installation tutorial after Christmas.

I have not found any parts to retrofit the front forks to make them adjustable. However, I think the forks work very well when the stock fork oil is replaced with 10W fork oil. If CSC develops stiffer, aftermarket springs, I think the stock forks will work very well.

At the moment I don't have any plans to travel to Wallowa, or Enterprise. However, I will let you know if I decide to head that way.
