I don't get it, I would not care to have preset on mine. Everyday and every pound of air, in or out, is a new and exciting ride every time you hop on it. I know exactly where to adjust mine for average riding. I push both buttons down until there is nothing left and then add rebound for about 4 or 5 seconds and I bet I am very close each time I take off. Then, I change it as needed for road conditions, doing out country riding or in town riding or going in and out of my drive way. I am not saying it's a bad idea or that those are not valid reason's. I'm just saying for me, my bike and how I ride I don't think I would need or use it. Also, that would just be an added expense to do all the R&D on and to redesign and build a new unit. It's also a few more things that could go wrong too. Nope, I am happy with just the way it is. It's nice in my Jeep but I don't think on my bike.

Only problem with a guage, a leak waiting to happen. But it would be nice especially on the fly.. It's either up or down to much, hard to tell.
