Yeah the E series reservior is angled down to clear the pipe. The H series reservior will interfere with the pipe.

Yeah Cheers Jerry! Much appreciated ill do them up a email and find out and let you know. Would have been nice if the newer model shock had fitted. Im amazed with all the info for front end conversions there is not more mods out there for the rear mono shock.

I think the reason there's not much on the rear shock is because they work pretty well as-is or with a rebuild. I added a gold-valve to my KDX shock and I could not tell any difference in performance myself. But then, it could be my riding skills too.

Let me know if I can help with the shipping.
