He will make you an adapter if you ask and have the $$$ ready.

I will be completely honest and it is clear to see from a design stand point: Since the shocks sit in the metal top hats there is an increase in noise vs. stock. There is a slight rattle when going over bumpy surfaces. No noise on the freeway or flat asphalt or the track.

Robi is thinking about ways to reduce the slight rattle. He mentioned a foam type cover that sits on top of the hat I think.
