I bought a Husky 450 with (spring) CV's & Traxx and sent off to Powerband for my set up.  My questions are: (1) I didn't get the preload adjuster tool or clicker adjuster tool (aka: low profile flathead).  I think I've found the 35MM preload tool but having a hard time finding a clicker adjuster tool that will fit under my handlebars.  I did find a RaceTech one that might work but have scoured the interweb and can't find that WP sells one.  If anyone knows where/what to get please let me know.

(2) In place of the compression adjuster tool has anyone found any aftermarket clickers for the Cone forks that act like the KTM/Husky OEM adjusters that you can turn with your fingers?  (Amazing to me that for the cost of Cones they still require a flat head screw driver for these minor adjustments!!!)

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it is possible to replace the brass slot screws with hand clickers.  Here is a post on a suspension group on FB where a guy did it and there's a few other pics in the comments of another guy also.  The compression assembly cap has to be disassembled to do it.  You may need a FB account and join the group to see the post.

My 6500 cartridges came with the low-profile adjuster…I’ll see if I still have the part number. Might also check with the previous owner to see if they still have one (if the cone valves come with one).

I tried him but after I bought the bike he stopped replying to me.  If you find that part number I'd appreciate it.

They come with a clicker disc and the preload wrench.  Racetech has a version of the clicker disc.

Thanks,  I was wondering if the Race Tech one would work.  I now have a WP wrench on the way and ordered the Race Tech clicker disc from Amazon.  Thanks everyone!
