Default KW-V3

Just got the KW-V3's installed yesterday at West End. Nice ride on the stock settings, but I'm heading to the track tomorrow so I want to adjust the rebound. However, there's no way to get an allen wrench to the adjuster with the fuel filler, etc, in the way. Is there any way to make the adjustment? What's the point of an adjustable suspension if you can't get to the adjusters?? Really frustrating. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks.

I did buy a long allen key, but couldn't get that to work. How do you get the filler line out of the way?

I was able to loosen the 10mm nut on the gas tube mounted in the trunk and squeeze/force my hand underneath.

sounds like a nightmare.
i would leave KW's key inside there forever and somehow reach fingers to it when adjustment is needed.
for all other shocks i would use a simple long allen key...

those are moments when i can't thank enough to EDFC for its existance

I've always been able to adjust it using a regular L shaped allen key. I can't just reach back and shove it in there in 2 seconds but it doesn't take me that long to get it there.
