FWIW, I also found this on Amazon.


https://www.amazon.com/X-PRO-rear-sh.../dp/B0CYGZ6PR9


One potential bugbear I notice is that the position of the remote reservoir is different. On the X-Pro variant it is directly parallel to the top mounting bolt, but on the Orion it is offset by about 45 degrees. I don't know if this will cause a clearance issue.


The Templar X this fits appears to have its airbox tube routed opposite the Orion, i.e. it is on the left side of the shock rather than the right. I can always mount this backwards to no ill effect, I think, but I'm not certain if it will clear the frame. I guess if push comes to shove, Amazon will take anything back.


Edit: Oh, yeah. And the factory shock is totally blown. It has no damping whatsoever anymore and pushing the rod in causes oil to pour out of it. The rod is clean and undamaged, so I can only presume the seals disintegrated. I could theoretically take it apart but I imagine the chances of finding the correct seals for this are zero.
