I just asked them to take a picture of the shock they have in stock, arguing that 1 customer received the wrong shock and that Rockshox says there is no aftermarket remote shock. I don't want to pay for a return if they send the wrong shock.

I will let you know.
My order is still blocked for 1 week because 1 product is not in stock, hopefully I will solve it before shipment.

i wonder if a fox shock will work with the twist lock remote. it seems it might but im not sure yet .

The twistlock aparently has a 10mm cable pull. just need to find a suitable fox shock and confirm the cable pull needed it. 

Ive also emailed sram again asking if they have any shock in 165x40 with remote thats available after market. Also asked which bikes come with the 165x40 remote shock OEM...maybe could just order a "replacement" shock through a dealer. will post any info i get here

I can't tell anymore where i read about it, but i think the DT Swiss dual position system works with 5.5 mm cable pull for each step, so 10 mm cable pull from RS twistloc might not give a full lockout, but close to. I think i'll try that out when the frame has arrived (it's getting painted at the moment).

Meanwhile, I'm not too sure where the remote lockout cable is routed out of the frame, as with the DT Swiss shock the cable stopper would be oriented right down in the direction of the BB. Could get "interesting" to connect the cable when it is routed from below the bottle holder screws... Or am i just thinking the wrong way? ???

youre right about the DTswiss cable pull. i got a reply from a norwegian importer today. he said 11.5mm from open to lock, 5.7mm form open to drive. im still trying to find out what cable pull Fox uses. but ive seen that on the YT industires Izzo trail bike they use Fox fork and shock but a Rockshox twistlock remote. so wondering if a rockshox fork and Fox shock might play better together...seems impossible to find this stuff out though.
