The stub at the bottom of koni shocks is designed for sawing down to size.
If the shock sits too high and you have some of that thin stub on the bottom left, you can cut some off it.

seriously? meant to be cut down to size? I thought it was part of the reservior or something. There is a good 1,5 or 2 cm left (not near the shocks now) and doestn't look touched at all. that would make life a bit easier. I would love to be able to fix it a bit more elegant.
