Brilliant!
Oh my God that is brilliant!
Ive been inside a few bike shocks myself. I cant belive no one has done it before. Where there is a will there is a way, if you have the tools and the tallent. 
Everything in Japan is held together with snap-rings. I worked on the auto hubs on a 38 Nissan truck and its like... Inside snap-rings, outside snap-rings. Cir-clip seal inside/ouside snap-ring seal thrust washer and then antother few snap-rings.
I'll be waiting to hear about this one. But I'm optomistic! 
OOh Ooh! I got an idea for the crimped part: Drill like, six holes vertically, down into the shock tap them for skrews (I'd use hex heads) fabricate an alumininum cap, Countersink six corresponding holes, O-ring, and YOU ARE in business my man. If the metal isnt thick enough weld an extra tube around the top of the shock tube. Then mill it flat, and then drill and tap.
I cant wait to blow my shocks!

As for the telepaths, I have learned to recognize them and
ignore them. The worst thing you can do is block them and
make them mad, When it gets to be too much, I put my
fingers in my ears and sing, "FLINTSTONES, MEET THE
FLINTSTONES."
