Uhmmm ok, the Öhlins TTX shock I had stocked for this project is not going to fit haha. The exhaust port of the vertical head is literally at the same spot as the adjustment knobs of the TTX shock.
Let’s solve that! I switched to a default Showa rear shock from a 1098 allowing me SOME space to make an exhaust bend. Using my custom pie-cut mockup pieces I was able to plan out an exhaust run that will work perfectly with no room to spare.
Solved!
