Wouldn't "two adjustments" mean it's allowable for two functions of the shock
to be adjustable? Like separate Compression and Rebound knobs? Where as 4
knobs for high and low shaft speed comp and rebound would be illegal?

Subject: Allowable Shocks in Stock Class
The rules state for Stock class:
13.5 Shock Absorbers
A. The make of shock absorber may be substituted providing that the
number, type, (e.g., tube, lever, etc.) system of attachment and attachment
points are not altered. Substituted shock absorbers may provide no more than
two external damping adjustments.
So this states that no more than two external damping adjustments are
allowed.
Now for instance both KYB and Koni offer adjustable shocks.
The Koni Sport says "Many of the KONI Sport dampers are externally
adjustable by means of a knob"
Does this qualify as two external damping adjustments or are they
disqualified because adjustment is infinite due to the lack of specific
settings?
Same with the KYB AGX: "Manually adjustable multistage damping"
I guess the whole thing boils down to the question, does "two external
damping adjustments" mean two settings, ie: sport and normal?
Or does "two external damping adjustments" mean one setting done by hand and
the other can be done physically elsewhere on the shock tower?
Lastly if both of these examples end up as being unacceptable, can someone
give me an example of a shock that is allowed in stock class?
Thanks ahead of time.
