Title: need help with carbon swing arm
Post by: proflex252 on January 28, 2005, 02:28:38 am

Hi folks!

I got a prob with my k2 5000 98 version.

One of the x-shaped o-rings of the carbon swingarm pivot point is broken.
So I need new ones.
Where can I get those parts?

I live in Germany, so it would be best if the dealer is at least from Europe and not from the US or something.
Except the shipping is cheap, than US is possible.
The prob is, there is no official importer for K2 / Proflex in Germany.

Thx a lot for your answers.
CU

Do you have a part # for the o-rings? If so, I will call for availability.

In the mean time you could degrease the old one and glue it back together with glue for a temporary fix. I have done this before when necessary. Maybe tire patch cement will work.

some have used regular o-rings that are the same size and same ID/OD with no problem, but if you can't locate, see Simon, he's closer. I can get them here and post to you, if need be, too.
