Save yourself some money and get the ones without the orange reservoirs. Even the Olins guys will tell you that they are the same other than appearance. To adjust them, all you have to do is remove your saddle bags. Besides, you will hardly y ever adjust them.

The 044s still show available on the Ohlins site, they are just not "Blackline"

I am in the process of installing a pair of 779's right now. Need to trim the rear res mount spacers a couple mm's to get a bit more spacing from the bag lids
