Anybody install one of these and have the KX fork conversion?
Any input is appreciated.

It comes with a video with the valve stack config supposedly.

I believe there will be instructions and a number of shim stacks charts with recommendations. You select the most appropiate shim stack via the chart - based upon the riding you do. i.e. Shims will be supplied to along with their gold valve to allow you to accomplish this. (At least this is the way it works on the forks)

I had my local Race Tech technician install a GV in my KDX rear shock. I couldn't "feel" any difference, but then I knew how to set my rear shock dampning anyway. However, I didn't crash... as much. My buddies weren't waiting for me as long either. So I think it made me faster. I did the forks and had GV's installed and new springs and seals installed at the same time, so I'm not sure what to attribute my riding improvement to.

Effects of suspension tuning is quite subjective.
I have no experience with GV fork or shock.
I do have experience with a fairly local tuner that does seem to know what he's doing, that opinion based on the results of his work. He has revalved my shock twice, serviced it a number of times without valving changes. The difference can be felt. Heck...the difference between a shock with a years use on it and a freshly serviced shock can be felt plainly, too.
I'd prefer using the services of a known good suspension shop for a shock. If I had the recharge/regulator setup it wouldn't be a big deal I guess.
I don't.
