Default KW V3 - Adjustment Knob Extension/Whip?

Hello Everyone,

Adjusting the rear driver side KW V3 Compression adjuster is a true pain in the neck! I am wondering if you guys have heard of an adjustment knob extension/whip for the Rear Driver Side KW V3 Shock. Its similar to the one pictured below.



Please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Has anyone else found a solution to this problem?

I know sake garage do extenders for the Ohlins suspension, it would be excellent to get a similar product for the KWV3.

Do you mean L/H as tank neck in the way?
As these would only work with spare wheel removed for R/H.

Megan racing makes remote adjustment devices in various lengths from 110 to 250 mm. I used them on my Ohlins.

Great tip! What length are you using or recommending?
Sakebomb want's $165 EACH for their adjusters and Megans are ~$30 for what looks like a pair.
I'm guessing it's these ones we are talking about Damper Knob Adjustment : Suspension Upgrades : Megan Racing Performance

Always fancied adjustments to go through rear shelf,for in car adjustment.

I bought 1 extra knob and just left it in place on the left hand side, and use one knob to adjust the other 3 dampers
