#1 | Non-ESA Wilbers shock installation datum

A couple of friends who need to lower their bikes are considering the Wilbers option without ESA since they don't fiddle with it anyway and don't want to send their shocks in to be modified. My question for anyone who might have done this is- what is done for the fault that will show up when the ESA is not connected? I believe there will be a fault indicated on the instrument panel, maybe a red or yellow triangle displayed all the time. Just covering it with tape is not a good option.

I personally don't need lowering, but would strongly consider this same option if I need to replace my shock in the future.

They provide a plug in resistor that keeps the CANBUS happy so no error appears . I almost bought a nice 1200 RS with the Wilbers aftermarket shock of standard height
