Its as simple as a disk of rubber clamped to the top of the piston using the c clip with only half of the holes in it that the piston has.

Easy peasy.
This is something that has been available on the Predator Shock absorbers for quite some years. I have to be honest, i've not played with it too much though.

I think the main use was in the front to slow the shocks on rebound to help stop the nose lifting on acceleration.
