Title: rebuilding crosslink ELT
Post by: loaded on January 18, 2005, 08:44:09 am

Hi guys,
I finally have my new chubby LT's fitted to my proflex 4000.  The new ride style is taking a lot to get used to, big change over my old crosslink.  
Anyway, I'd like to rebuild my crosslink as the seals look pretty shot, I think the bushings are OK and the smartshock is still functioning thanks to a big heavy shock booty.
Where could I get a new seal kit? I've tried the new K2 dealer in melbourne & they don't really want to know me.  Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Luke

 ::) ::)luke, i seem to remember someone posting that owners can order parts directly from k2, now.
try a 800# and ask one of the customer service people. and tell them that you're not getting any help from the local k2 dealer.

I know all of you guys seen this....but it won't be such a bad idea to snap up a spare brand new fork up on ebay... I think I might

I've already called K2 for new bushings. I asked someone named "Scott" in Washington (who kept on refering to my country as Canadia) about bushings for a 4500. He was able to send me all parts exept for parts for the X-links. He told me to try and get some form Noleen.
Prices in US dollars was RK008 16.99$, 2 Pivot flanges was 16.00$, and both Pivot inserts were 16.00$. + 8.00$ shipping.
Mucho expensive. Next time I will rebuild the pivot myself.
