[Closed] Rockshox Dual Position - retro fit?

I've got a set of 2011 Revelation RLT Ti's with the Dual Air spring & Black Box damping, as my bike has adjustable rear travel (89-129mm) would it be possible to retro fit the dual position air cartridge to the air spring side of the forks?

I'm thinking it would make my bike more versatile, for example on the likes of CRC marathons where a 120mm bike may be more efficient on the climbs etc and not much of a hinderance on the downs as they're never that technical and then revert back to longer travel mode for other riding.

If so, am I correct that the fork can be ridden at the 120mm setting with no changes to the damping etc, as in it just 'becomes' a 120mm travel Revelation?

Where would I be able to source said parts from?

I guess Loco tuning would be able to help here.

I'm interested in this as I'm after some 150mm forks but they seem to have stopped doing U-Turn and replaced it with this dual air thing (which seems much better on the face of it). I don't want to be riding round with full travel all the time (although floodgate may counter this, whats the poitn o having all that travel if you're not going to use it?) There are plenty of standard dual air forks available for under £400, but anything with the dual posiiton seems to be at least £500.

Having taken apart RS forks befoer I reckon it is retro-fittable but you might need to buy a module for a bout £30 or so, in which case it would work out cheaper.
