Sorry there is lockout, X25 lockout force. Here's the Code: RS-VIVD-ULT-D1 - 06T61116385

It has the same air valve orientation 1:00 as what you mentioned above.

Curious, has anyone removed the volume reducer from their Vivid? I'm not really getting the last bit of travel on my Vivid, wondering if removing the volume reducer will help.
I'm curious too, do you have the HBO set to click 1?

I ended up buying the same model shock (came off a RS 181.2) to use as an expensive "spare"...but I really do want to ride it.

It seems pretty heavy (not that I care).

The Ext springs are $135 each and they are slow to ship...my frame is still being built up...but I'm going to try the coil that came with it first.

Yeah as @John_likes_bikes mentioned there's a lot of progression at the end stroke so I have ABO turned off. I don't think I've fully bottomed out my Vivid Air on the RS181.2 ever.
